We will be making an appeal for toiletries and books next month. If you think you may be able to come along even on an occasional basis, please either give me a call or just come along.

First Communions It was a great joy for our parish welcoming the children and their families for their First Holy Communion Day. We thank all who were in- volved in helping the children prepare, at school, at home, and in the parish. We pray that the blessings of the Eucharist will stay with them for a long time to come and that they will become committed members of the Body of Christ. First Communicants Thanksgiving Mass – 10am 3rd June followed by a party in the hall.

Mass to give thanks to God for almost 50 years of St Andrew’s Primary School will be celebrated in St Andrew’s Church 10am. Friday, 22nd June. All most welcome. We look forward especially to welcoming former pupils, parents, staff, and our friends in the community. Refreshments will be served after Mass in the upper hall to which everyone is invited. St Nicholas’ Primary will open on 16th August.

Day for Life 2018– May 31st. A day in the Church’s year dedicated to celebrating and upholding the dignity of human life. The illustrated card for this year’s Day for Life reminds us on the evil of human trafficking – modern slavery. The sec- ond collection taken up 2nd / 3rd June will help further the work of organisations such as the Santa Marta Group formed by Pope Francis, which is Church and State working to eradicate human trafficking and modern slavery. Visit www.dayforlife.org

The Eco gardeners would be very grateful to anyone who could give half an hour / an hour of their time every now and again, at a time of your own choosing, to do a little weeding in the borders and the paving area in the jubilee garden. If you can help, please contact 942 4635 / info@standrewsbearsden.co.uk

Safeguarding Training - All parish volunteers who are members of the PVG scheme have been notified of next month’s Training Session on 14th June. To date, two fifths of volunteers have yet to confirm their attendance at the Seminar. The Archbishop has just determined this month that all volunteers who require to complete training and fail to do so by October of this year, will thereafter be prohibited from undertaking further voluntary work (whether with children or with vulnerable adults) within the Parish. It is imperative that all volunteers who have been emailed or lettered respond to the Parish Safeguarding Coordinator (at mmcgovern@adairssolictors.com) immediately to confirm their attendance (or otherwise) at next month’s Seminar. Thank you.

The Caritas Award was created as a legacy of the visit of Pope Benedict to Scotland and has been in place for a number of years. It is focused on any pupil in their final year of school and allows them to respond to the Pope`s call to young people to put their faith into action. Since 2016 St. Andrew`s Parish/our parish has been able to support young people in their final year at non-denominational schools to achieve this award. The Caritas Award gives young people the oppor- tunity to learn more about their faith by reflecting on scripture and the Pope`s teachings at 4 short meetings throughout the year. You must also volunteer to take part in different ministries in Church and the local community, eg. reading or passkeeping at Mass, getting involved with parish's Justice and Peace Group, helping with Fairtrade or taking part in fundraising activities. It is a rewarding and enjoyable way to learn more about your faith with people your own age and also get a chance to show love of neighbour through your volunteering activities. Additionally, it helps you develop key skills like team working, make new friends, set yourself challenges, develop your CV and improve your confidence. If you are interested in learning more about the Caritas award speak to Fr. Mackle or contact Elizabeth Reid elizabeth_reid@ntlworld.com
