"For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord."

Happy Holidays - All at St Andrew’s wish all pupils and staff a safe a happy summer school holiday. To everyone, whether you are going away or having a ‘hameldaeme’ holiday, have a great summer!!!

Saints Peter and Paul’s feast day is this Wednesday and a holyday of obligation. Masses are 10am and 7pm.

Before receiving Holy Communion, we are asked to make some preparatory act of reverence such as a bow.

From 27th June, the church will be open Mon to Fri until 5pm, and on Sat until the 5pm vigil. Call in and enjoy the peace and quiet, and take time to sit in the stillness in the silence of God. Teas / coffees are served in the Hut after daily Mass. All most welcome. 

Going in to your final year at school and like to do the Caritas Award? – Speak to Fr. Mackle or contact Elizabeth Reid at Elizabeth_reid@ntlworld.com

Live Streaming ~ Our parish’s live streaming service on our YouTube channel has served us well over the past two years, especially during the lockdown periods when our church was closed, and when numbers were restricted.  
After discussion at our Liturgy Group meeting, and with all restrictions now, thankfully, having been lifted, it was agreed that our regular live streaming of Sunday and weekday Masses will continue up until Sunday 17th July 2022, after which it will cease to be daily and become a service for special occasions only.  
Parishioners who are housebound would still be able to watch Mass daily at channels such as EWTN, Catholic TV or Mass Online.
​I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who have been involved in our live streaming team for very faithfully operating this service since July 2020. It is a great facility we have, and it will still be used for special occasions.

Piety Stall.    Have a look at the piety stall in the porch ~ a wide range of cards & gifts, prayer leaflets, statues, and other lovely items. Stop by and have a look. If we don't have what you’re looking for, we'll see if it can be sourced.

Annulment and Marriage Validation - see Fr Mackle to learn more about the process if you are divorced and remarried or never married in the Catholic Church. There is now no charge to the petitioner for marriage cases at the Tribunal. 

World Meeting of Families in Rome – final day 26 June. Theme - Family Love: a Vocation and a Path to Holiness. Visit www.romefamily2022. Pick up from the porch the official WMoF prayer card.

Laudato Si’ - “For human beings… to destroy the biological diversity of God’s creation; for human beings to degrade the integrity of the earth by causing changes in its climate, by stripping the earth of its natural forests or destroying its wetlands; for human beings to contaminate the earth’s waters, its land, its air, and its life – these are sins”.  (#8)
