"I am the Way the Truth and the Light,
says the Lord; no one can come to the Father
except through me."

Preserve Catholic Education in Bearsden—Our local Catholic primary school, St. Andrew’s, has been serving our community for more than 40 years.  As part of East Dunbartonshire’s Primary School Improvement Programme, one of the proposals being considered is a merger with Milngavie’s St. Joseph’s Primary School.
 The Chair of St. Andrew’s Parent Council has been outlining why it is important for you to support the school and to fill out the public consultation questionnaire, particularly sections 1 and 6.  Copies are available at the back of the church or you can download a copy from here. The closing date for completion of the questionnaire is Monday, 4th February 2013. 
 In order to preserve the future of Catholic Education on its current site in Bearsden for the future of our children, it is vitally important that you participate in this consultation exercise and encourage your friends and families to do the same.  If you do not do so, it is possible, indeed highly possible, that St. Andrew’s will lose its site on Duntocher Road and the school may be moved to another much less suitable location.  
The Catholic community is relatively small so we need as much support as we can gather in order for our voice to be heard.  Thank you.  For further information please contact St. Andrew’s Primary Parent Council Chair Terry Allan on terryallan97@sky.com

Justice & Peace: Poverty and Homelessness Action Week—This is from 26th January to 3rd February and in Scotland is promoted by Scottish Churches Housing Action, see www.actionweek.org.uk  Of great relevance in Glasgow is the Scottish Refugee Council’s current campaign to change the law so that those refused asylum seekers who are unable to return, have the right to work in the formal economy or be supported and so avoid the destitution which is the effect of current policies. See www.stopdestitution.org.uk, or www.justiceandpeacescotland.org.uk

Wayside Club 8th Anniversary Gala Dinner—The Wayside Club, conducted by the Legion of Mary, provides friendship, food, showers and clothing for all homeless and socially excluded people who come to their door, 365 days a year.  This year marks their 80th anniversary of providing this essential service in our own city which is so prized by those in need.  To help raise funds to continue the service a Gala Dinner has been arranged.  Please consider whether you could support this venture.  The event takes place on Saturday 27th April at 7pm at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel.  A champagne reception will be followed by a black-tie dinner, live entertainment, a raffle and auction.  Tickets cost £50pp or a table of 10 £500.  Please contact Tom Boyd 0798 8880117 or email waysideglasgow@gmail.com to take part in a truly memorable evening.
