As we journey through Eastertide we should remember that the obligation to attend Mass has been restored. We should see this as an opportunity to come together again as a community of faith to listen to the Word of God and be nourished by the body of Christ. Come back to Mass! As always, the obligation does not apply to those who are sick, and their carers, or to those who have greater vulnerability to the virus. Children’s liturgy is on at 10am Mass.
Sacrament of Confirmation for Primary 7 pupils will be on 4th & 5th June at 2pm. On Thursday 12th May in St Joseph’s, Milngavie, there will be an SAS preparation evening for all the pupils.
