 | "Go and teach all nations, says the Lord; I am with you always, until the end of the world." |
Remember 9 @ 9 for this short prayer to the Holy Spirit. Pray it each night at 9pm for 9 nights through to next Saturday. Let us, here in this parish of St Andrew, unite in prayer and in spirit each night in this great novena, these great nine days of praying and waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
9@9 Prayer
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
With all good wishes for the Easter Season. "The spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you". Romans 8:11

Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week - Sunday - 24 May
Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us. Pope Francis, Address to the United States Congress, 24 September 2015
Volunteers Appeal Hi, hope you are all well. David, my husband, is looking for volunteers to collect surplus food from the local supermarkets. This is normally done between 6pm and 9pm and can be stored in a car overnight and then would need to be delivered to our restaurant at 1051 GWR, 1051 Great Western Rd, G12 0XP, the next morning. David's team would then organise its distribution to the various food banks and homeless accommodation, later that day,(you would not be involved in this). Our aim is to set up a rota and have enough volunteers so that you would only have to do this once a week, at most.
It's urgent that we set this up as soon as possible, so if you are able to help out, please contact me Veronica Maguire on 07884468212, in the first instance, indicating your availability and I will pass that on to David's coordinator. This might be ideal for anyone's son/daughter who can drive and who is at a loose end. Please share with friends/family who may be interested.Thanks for your time. Stay safe. Veronica x
