Children’s Liturgy - Lorraine McMillan, after fourteen years of faithfully serving the parish in the area of children’s liturgy, has decided to give up this work at summer time. I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the parish, to extend our very sincere thanks to Lorraine for her ministry, good work and efforts in the many years she has been involved in children’s liturgy. It has been very much appreciated. The P1 to P3 Children's liturgy group, therefore, are looking for a new coordinator from August. The role involves preparing the rota and liaising with the liturgy leaders about the various activities with the children. Anyone can undertake the role as long as they enjoy working with children and are happy to go through PVG clearance. Particularly welcome would be a Mum or Dad who has primary aged children. We are also looking for new leaders and helpers as some of our existing team are looking to "retire" after many years service. Leaders and helpers are on duty about once a month and help the children participate in the liturgy. It is a very satisfying role as well as being useful preparation for anyone considering training as a teacher. No particular experience is required as you will work with an experienced leader for the first few months. Again PVG clearance is required. If you would like to discuss this further please contact Fr Mackle on 942 4635 or Lorraine on 942 1065.
Piety Stall has a great selection of cards and gifts for all occasions, especially for First Holy Communion. Newly in, is a selection of 24 hours devotional candles with prayer on the reverse. £1 each.
