“Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
Our altar servers (junior and senior) plus our sacristans have started back – more signs, thankfully, of getting back to some sort of normality.
Happy Fathers’ Day to all in the parish. We remember all our fathers, living and dead, at Mass today and in our prayers and ask God’s blessing on them.
Children’s Liturgy: each week in the form of a video of the week’s Gospel reading. Available at : https://www.rpbooks.co.uk/celebrate-following-your-faith This is an excellent resource for parents to use until the children’s liturgy at Mass resumes.
If you can, Walk, Cycle or Scoot to the Vigil or Sunday Mass this weekend - An opportunity to take climate change action! Thinking about the air that we breathe and doing our bit to make it cleaner.
Just a reminder to all P4, P7 & S1 families that if you haven't registered yet for the booking process for Mass, it's easy to do. Go to www.standrewsbearsden.co.uk
Your Giving to St Andrew’s Our parish’s annual accounts have now been submitted to the archdiocese. A massive Thank You to all our parishioners who have continued to support our parish over this past year. We have, like many other charities, seen our income greatly reduced over the past 12 months. This is, of course, because of the lockdowns and closures and there being fewer people being able to attend church. Thank you, once more, in these difficult times for your generosity towards your parish. Fr Mackle
Congratulations go to all our young people who received the Pope Francis Faith Award at a presentation ceremony last Tuesday in St Nicholas’s Primary School. A well earned award and so well deserved by all.
For P5, it is time to start thinking about becoming a PFFA candidate. Invitations to enrol will be going out in the new school term, and parish sign up will be arranged at that time too.
