“A prophet is not without honor except in his native place
and among his own kin and in his own house.” 


Nourished by the Eucharist ~ These past sixteen months haven't been easy. They've impacted hugely on all our lives. A painful period was when churches were closed. That was painful good people of faith not being able to be nourished by the Body of Christ. Please, start thinking about coming back to Mass, if you haven't already.  Don't think that your coming to Mass will be depriving someone of a seat. You won't be. Come and be nourished by the Eucharist, the Body of Christ.  It will be lovely to see you. Take care.  If you haven't registered yet for the booking process for Mass, it's easy to do.    Go to  www.standrewsbearsden.co.uk   No need to book for weekday Mass.
 
Congratulations and well done to our parish's Caritas candidates, Kirsty Kennedy and David Docherty in being successful in achieving their Caritas Award, which they’ll receive at our 10am Sunday Mass this weekend.   Massive thanks to our parish’s Caritas Co-ordinators, the teachers, and to all our parishioners and others who have supported Kirsty and David throughout their Caritas journey.     

If you will be in your final year of school after summer, or just finished High School and are interested in becoming a candidate for the 2021 / 2022 Caritas award, speak to Fr. Mackle or contact Elizabeth Reid at [email protected]   

Children’s Liturgy:  each week in the form of a video of the week’s Gospel reading. Available at : https://www.rpbooks.co.uk/celebrate-following-your-faith   This is an excellent resource for parents to use until the children’s liturgy at Mass resumes.
 
Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week - 4 July Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”                  Mark 10:21 
 
Just a reminder, if you haven't registered yet for the booking process for Mass, it's easy to do.    Go to  www.standrewsbearsden.co.uk

New Dawn in Scotland 12th Annual Conference 2021 - an online event
Friday 9th July to Sunday 11th July.  This year's theme is "Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you: I have called you by your name you are mine." Isaiah 43: 1-2.

In addition, the programme includes a Saturday morning slot for the Children and early afternoon sessions for the Youth on both the weekend days.

Your Giving to St​ Andrew’s   Our parish’s annual accounts have  been submitted to the archdiocese.  A massive Thank You to all our parishioners who have continued to support our parish over this past year.  We have, like many other charities, seen our income greatly reduced over the past 12 months. This is, of course, because of the lockdowns and closures and there being fewer people being able to attend church. Thank you, once more, in these difficult times for your generosity towards your parish.   Fr Mackle
 
All in St Nicholas’ Primary who will be starting P6 in August are invited to become a Pope Frances Faith Award candidate. Invitations to enrol will be going out in the new school term, and parish sign up will be arranged at that time too.
 
Are you interested in becoming Catholic? Or do you know someone who is? If you or someone you know are interested in becoming Catholic, or if you know anyone who might be interested in the Church, why not sign up for St Andrew's RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)? This group – which meets from after summer through to Easter / Pentecost each year – is for those who are interested in becoming Catholic. No commitment is made until fairly late in the annual process. For more information, call 942 4635 or [email protected]
 
Year of St Joseph - Don't forget you can write out your petitions and place them under the sleeping St Joseph statue in the church grounds. It's also possible to send in your special petitions by post in a sealed envelope.
                                                                                                
Safeguarding: Attention all volunteers who work in the parish with children and vulnerable adults. If you have still to attend Safeguarding Induction Part 1 and/or Part 2, please contact the archdiocese at [email protected] or call 0141 226 5898 to book. Courses run until September.
 
Drumchapel Foodbank. Regularly your donations are dropped off at the foodbank by our parish volunteers. Thanks for continuing to give the foodbank your support.

Our parish’s soup-run’s volunteers continue to collect food donations from  M&S Byres Rd & Milngavie for delivery  to Drumchapel & St Gregory’s Foodbanks, the Wayside Club & Aspire. Many thanks for good response to the recent appeal for help for holiday cover. 
 
Parish Website – Bulletin - Just to say that on the latest page and the bulletin page, a subscribe button has been added which allows users to have a daily summary sent each morning with the previous day's posts. If you don't use social media, but would like to be kept posted, then all that's asked for is your email address  – you can unsubscribe at any time – it's all clearly marked.

Copies of the bulletin are available on Facebook, Twitter and on the parish website.
