Education Sunday letter from Archbishop Tartaglia. On this link

Ash Wednesday this year in on 10th February – Masses with the distribution of ashes at 10am and 7pm. Ashes can be collected from the sacristy for any housebound parishioners.

Help the Homeless – Until 7th Feb, you'll see a box at the back of the church where you can leave donations of new toiletries, scarves, gloves, hats and socks for ladies and gents for the homeless. These will be distributed across a number of hostels in Glasgow. You'll also see prayer cards which we'd ask you to take away with you.      
Many thanks - St Andrew’s Justice &Peace  group.

Washing of the feet  - Pope Francis has for some time been reflecting on the right of the washing of the feet as part of the Holy Thursday liturgy. You may have seen in press coverage last week, he has now decreed that the rubric that has previously restricted the washing of the feet to men only should be changed to include “ those chosen from among the people of God’. Those chosen will represent the variety and unity of every part of the People of God - men and women and ideally young and old, healthy and sick, clerics, consecrated persons and lay people. In his letter explaining the changes, Pope Francis tells us he made the changes so that the ritual might express more fully the meaning of Jesus' gesture in the Upper Room, His giving of Himself unto the end for the salvation of the world, His limitless charity". From this Triduum onwards, in St Andrew's, parishioners chosen for the washing of the feet will be selected from the whole parish community.
