‌Welcome to all our First Communicants and their families to today’s 10am Thanksgiving Mass followed by a party in the hall.
 
This Sunday is World Communications day. A collection will be taken up for the apostolate of communications. Copies of Archbishop Tartaglia’s Pastoral Letter are available in the porch.
 
There will be a Mass for the sick on Monday 17thJune at 2pmwhere the sick and housebound will be brought to the church and all will receive the Sacrament of anointing of the sick during Mass. Anybody whose health is impaired by illness or advanced age, can receive this Sacrament. Regularly, the sick and housebound are cared for by the parish through a great network of extraordinary ministers working alongside the clergy. If you feel you or your loved one could benefit from the Sacrament of the sick, please don’t hesitate to contact 942 4635 or [email protected]

Baptism Preparation Eveningfor parents and godparents – 6thJune at 7pm
 
Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week   Jesus taught his disciples to pray by asking the Heavenly Father not for "my" but for "our" daily bread. Thus, he desired every person to feel co-responsible for his brothers so that no one would want for what he needs in order to live. The earth's produce forms a gift which God has destined "for the entire human family”.         Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, 12 November 2006
 
Iona pilgrimsreturned safe and sound and, despite the inclement weather, had a most enjoyable weekend. Enjoyed were the celebration of Mass in the Abbey followed by a guided tour, great meals, good company, and the warm welcome and hospitality of the parish community of St Columba’s Cathedral, Oban. A good weekend was had by all. Our most sincere thanks to Veronica McLaughlin for attending to all the Iona preparations over the past months, and for ensuring, throughout the whole weekend, that all were well looked after. If you have any photos for our Facebook page, email them through, please, to [email protected]
