Coffee Morning—Please come along today and join us for the first coffee morning after the holidays - in the Upper Hall following the 10.00 a.m. Mass. Proceeds will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care as two of our parishioners are raising money, from various events, to pay for one day’s care at the Glasgow Hospice to say a thank you to them for the care and support they showed their mum and family when she died 30 years ago. So please come along and support this very worthy cause. Hope you all had a great summer. Thank you. There’s also a Race Night planned for this Friday the 26th August in the upper hall from 7pm. Tickets are just £ 8 including buffet and it’s BYOB. Please contact Veronica McLaughlin at [email protected] or Peter Docherty at [email protected] or on 07801 526421 . Many thanks
