Pope Francis Faith Award - P7 ceremony & (next year's P6) An Award ceremony will be arranged at the school for the P7 candidates before the end of term. Both parishes will work with St Nicholas’ to run a new cohort next session - it will be ‘opt in’. So, current P5s are invited to think about the PFFA. Candidates will be invited to enrol in the new term and parish sign up will be arranged at this time. St Nicholas' have passed on their sincere thanks to the PFFA team in both parishes for supporting the candidates with their endeavours.

P7 Leavers’ Masses are being arranged for 21st & 22nd June. More information about these soon.
Wonderful the celebration of 44 of last year's P7s, (this year’s S1s) receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation last weekend. They had been waiting so patiently. Third time lucky. This year's P7s' celebration of Confirmation will be next weekend 5th/6th June. The Masses will be live streamed with each family given password link, and, of course, we can all participate by remembering to pray for our P7 confirmandi and their families.
The Saturday Vigil Mass on 5th June will begin at 5.30pm. This is because we have a Confirmation Mass at 3.30pm.
Just a reminder to all the families of our First Communicants ~ If you haven't registered yet for the booking process for Mass, it's simple and easy to do just follow this link.
Register just once, and book each time you want to come to Mass.
The Piety Stall online store has a large selection of Confirmation cards & gifts for sale. Orders can be placed and either collected from the organiser’s homes, church house porch or delivery can be arranged if collection isn’t suitable.https://www.standrewsbearsden.co.uk/piety-stall.html

Help wanted - Our parish soup run volunteers continue to collect supermarket surplus donations 7 mornings a week from M&S Milngavie and Byres Rd and deliver to St Gregory’s foodbank, the Wayside and Aspire, west end. Some additional volunteers to help cover on occasion would be really helpful to allow our volunteers to take a well earned break. No need for a permanent commitment but occasional cover as we move into holiday period would be good. Please email Veronica McLaughlin - [email protected]
