"Lord, make me know your ways
Lord, teach me your paths."
A Mission Appeal will be made at all our Masses this weekend on behalf of the Xavarian Fathers. The second collection will be our donation to help them in their missionary work.

Musicians needed for Vigil Mass We are very fortunate in St. Andrew's to have some excellent musicians which include four organists, a Folk Group and the Young Musicians. However, we are occasionally faced with a situation when, despite this, we have nobody to play. It usually affects Vigil Mass. We are looking for volunteers to fill in occasionally. It would not be an onerous task, possibly once every couple of months. If you feel you could help, please could you contact Fr. Mackle or Susan Morrison (07580086381 or 01415637959) We would be delighted to hear from you.

St Andrew’s Toddlers Group will resume this Thursday 2nd October 2014 from 10.30am till 12.00 in the Lower Hall. Contact Caroline Flanagan with any enquiries. Lunch Club will also be starting this Thursday 2nd October from 12 till 2pm.

Beginning Experience - A residential weekend is being held for those who find themselves alone again through divorce, separation or bereavement from 10 to 12 October at the Conforti Centre, Coatbridge. See notice board for more details.

The Sacraments—Reconciliation (First Confession), First Communion, and Confirmation.  Parents intending to present children, who are in primary 3, for these sacraments are required to complete an application/enrolment form available in the porch.  Please complete and return them by 12th October.

Family Fun Night – A big thank you to Veronica and David Maguire, Mary Lisk, Maureen and Joe Gregory, Veronica and Eugene McLaughlin, Madeleine McGonigle, Kathleen, Ronnie and Euan Robinson and Dave and Alyssa Quigley who helped organise and run last Saturday’s very successful Family Fun Night. It was an absolutely fantastic evening – a packed hall, a great atmosphere, and the food, the bingo and the quizzes enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to all who came along.

Reachout - The Editorial Team are at present preparing items for the November Reachout. If any group wishes to advertise their upcoming event in and around Christmas or any individual has something they would perhaps like to share with the parish, please contact them via the chapel house or speak to Dorothy MacLean as soon as possible. Cut off date will be 3rd October.

Annual SPUC White Flower Appeal at all Masses next weekend. SPUC works hard to promote a culture of life for beginning and end of life issues in Scotland. Its pro-life work involves challenging the Assisted Suicide legislation and backing the case of the Scotland-based midwives in their legal challenge to have their conscientious objection rights recognised and respected by hospital authorities. SPUC is also launching a petition highlighting the high number of wrongly certified abortion procedures taking place in the UK to be sent to the relevant Health ministers at Westminster and Holyrood. Its education and youth development work is continuing with great success. The second collection will be taken up to help support this very worthy and important cause.
