Mother Teresa Exhibition - An exhibition documenting the life, spirituality and message of Blessed Mother Teresa is being staged at St Mungo's church, Townhead until Saturday 2 August. Made up of 78 panels, it documents the life of the remarkable Missionary of Charity from her birth in Albania in 1910 to her death in Calcutta in 1997.

The Halls Committee is intending to have an ‘autumn’ clean of the crypt at 10.30 on Saturday 9th August. If you are a user of the crypt, it would be helpful if a representative of your group could come along to help with the tidy up, particularly in the area occupied by your group. Hopefully, we should be complete by 12 Noon. Please call Gordon Reid, Halls Letting Secretary, for further details. 07528 425 698.
New Hymn Supplement - within the next few weeks we will be introducing a hymn supplement for use along with our Laudate hymnal. This will include a number of well known hymns for both parish and St Andrew’s Primary school use, as well as the new Gloria, which we've been learning over the past few weeks. Music is such an important part of the liturgy and very much enhances our experience at Mass, and I hope that having a more extensive range of hymns will further help us with this.
St Andrew’s Whist Drive will take place on Monday 28th July in the Lower Hall at 7.30pm. All, including beginners, will be made very welcome.
