Privacy and GDPR:  From 25 May 2018 new stringent regulations concerning privacy of individuals’ names and contact details have been in force. This will have major implications for the handling of personal data within our parish. We have always taken this seriously, but now, by law, we can no longer allow access to parish registers. Requests for information such as the re-issue of a baptismal certificate must now be made in person by the one who requests the certificate. A relative can no longer undertake to do this. Please note that church registers can no longer be made available for e.g. researching family history.   (The Archdiocese of Glasgow has a policy for the use of data in its parishes, offices and other institutions, which is available at  http://www.rcag.org.uk/index.php/the-archdiocese/diocesan-curia/privacy-notice.

Safeguarding Training- All parish volunteers who are members of the PVG scheme have been notified of this month’s Training Session on 14th June. To date, two fifths of volunteers have yet to confirm their attendance at the Seminar. The Archbishop has just determined this month that all volunteers who require to complete training and fail to do so by October of this year, will thereafter be prohibited from undertaking further voluntary work (whether with children or with vulnerable adults) within the Parish. It is imperative that all volunteers who have been emailed or lettered respond to the Parish Safeguarding Coordinator (at mmcgovern@adairssolictors.com) immediately to confirm their attendance (or otherwise) at this month’s Seminar. Thank you.
 
The Caritas Award was created as a legacy of the visit of Pope Benedict to Scotland and has been in place for a number of years. It is focused on any pupil in their final year of school and allows them to respond to the Pope`s call to young people to put their faith into action. Since 2016 St. Andrew`s Parish/our parish has been able to support young people in their final year at non-denominational schools to achieve this award. The Caritas Award gives young peoplethe opportunity to learn more about their faith by reflecting on scripture and the Pope`s teachings at 4 short meetings throughout the year. You must also volunteer to take part in different ministries in Church and the local community, eg. reading or passkeeping at Mass, getting involved with parish's Justice and Peace Group, helping with Fairtrade or taking part in fundraising activities. It is a rewarding and enjoyable way to learn more about your faith with people your own age and also get a chance to show love of neighbour through your volunteering activities. Additionally, it helps you develop key skills like team working, make new friends, set yourself challenges, develop your CV and improve your confidence. If you are interested in learning more about the Caritas award speak to Fr. Mackle or contact Elizabeth Reid elizabeth_reid@ntlworld.com
