"Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you."

Holy Days of Obligation - The Bishops of Scotland have made some changes to our calendar of Holy Days of Obligation - the first amendments in 32 years. Starting on the First Sunday of Advent the holy days in Scotland will be: All Sundays; Christmas Day; Ascension Thursday; Feast of SS Peter and Paul (29 June); Feast of the Assumption (15 August); All Saints Day (November 1). Where the Holy Days of SS Peter and Paul and the Assumption fall on a Saturday or Monday they will be moved to the Sunday. All Saints Day will move to the Sunday if it falls on a Saturday, but not if it falls on a Monday, this is to ensure that All Saints and All Souls fall on consecutive days. The changes were approved by the Holy See earlier this year and come into effect on the First Sunday of Advent 2018.

October Devotions - honour of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, there will be Rosary & Benediction on the Sundays of October at 4.30pm. Rosary prayed daily in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel 9.40am.

To bring this month of Mary to an end would you like to go on a short pilgrimage to Schoenstatt on Wednesday 31 October, following Mass that morning? I can take 3 people in my car, if other car drivers would like to consider taking the short pilgrimage too it would be possible to take more people.The initial plan would be to say the Rosary in the cars on our way to Schoenstatt, say the Rosary in the small chapel there and say the Rosary on the way home in the cars and perhaps have a cup of tea/coffee at the Cross when we return.If you are interested could you ring me on 942 8229/07305023481 or email me on [email protected].
