Thanks to all who came along and supported March's Coffee Morning. The sum of £150 was raised for SCIAF and this will be matched by the UK Government, so your support is very much appreciated. Many thanks to all the wonderful helpers and bakers too. We received a lovely 'thank you' letter from PCT- The St Nicholas Care Fund for the £100 we sent them earlier this year and this letter is displayed on the notice board in the porch.  Thanks again, Veronica and David Maguire.

St Andrews Parish Pastoral Council Consultation - How can we each deepen our relationship with Jesus, develop our parish community and reach out to the wider world, are all questions being considered by your Parish Pastoral Council (PPC).
The PPC would like to gather as many of your views as possible on these questions to help shape our parish priorities over the next three years.
How will this be done? After the Vigil Mass on 18th April and both Masses on 19th April, we'd like as many parishioners as possible, to come into the hall and share your views in a similar way to the parish consultation exercise last year. If you're not able to come into the hall after Mass, there will still be an opportunity to feed in your thoughts via email and a hard copy feedback sheet which will be available the following weekend.

Last Sunday's fund raising concert by Scottish classical singer Martin Aelred, organised by the parish justice and peace group, was a great success drawing in crowds from neighbouring churches and parishes. As well as raising awareness of the plight of children living on the streets in Columbia, the parish was able to raise on the night £2,884.60 for registered charity "Let the children live". You can see some photos of the evening here on the parish website photo gallery. Many thanks to the Justice & Peace Group and to all who helped on the evening and gave this worthwhile fundraiser their support.
