"Go out to the whole world; 
proclaim the Good News."

Mission Appeal—for the Franciscan Sister of the Immaculate Conception—Special second collections for the work of the Sisters at all Masses on this weekend– 24th/25th August.

Quarterly Collection—Is now due.

Primary School Provision—The period of formal consultation on the possible closure of St. Joseph’s Primary, Milngavie begins this week.  The following statement has been prepared by the Archdiocese to set out its clear opposition to the closure.  “The Archdiocese of Glasgow will respond formally to the consultation restating its firm support for the retention of St. Joseph’s Milngavie and St. Andrew’s Bearsden as free standing primary schools serving their respective communities.  Any proposal which effectively ends the provision of Catholic education in the Milngavie area, where there is a growing population of Catholic children, who are currently attending St. Joseph’s primary school, would be unacceptable to the Archdiocese.”

Father Donnelly’s Retirement—On Friday 4th October Fr. Donnelly retires from St. Andrew’s Parish where he has served for the last 18 years.  To celebrate and mark his retirement there will be a function on Saturday 26th October, following the Vigil Mass.  Please keep the date free and more details will follow shortly.
