​“He has done all things well. 
He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Both parishes have a planning meeting with Mrs Grogan on 9th September to discuss various items including setting dates for First Confession, First Holy Communion & Confirmations, and the Pope Francis Faith Award. Keep your eye on the parishes' bulletins and on social media platforms for dates and plans.

All forms to be returned, please, by Sunday, 17th October 2021. 
 
We are also inviting all Primary Seven Parents intending to present their child for the Sacrament of Confirmation, to complete, please,  an enrolment form, copies of which are available from the sacristy before or after weekday or Sunday Mass.

The Caritas Award  - St. Andrew`s would like to support any young person in their final year of school to achieve The Caritas Award. It's 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, contact Elizabeth Reid Elizabeth_reid@ntlworld.com  
 
In this Year of St Joseph, please visit our sleeping St Joseph statue. You can write out a petition and place it under the statue. Let St Joseph ‘sleep on it’.

Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week – 5th September
Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.
Saint Ignatius of Loyola
 
Justice and Peace Scotland highlights a campaign every month on which you can take action. September 2021 Campaign:
Support Care Not Killing's campaign for proper funding of palliative care and ask Members of the Scottish Parliament to oppose the legalisation of euthanasia or assisted suicide in Scotland. https://carenotkilling.scot/

SEASON OF CREATION
Each year from September 1 to October 4, the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. This year, let us pray for the success of COP26 and for our own efforts to care for creation. Give us, Lord, we pray, respect for the earth, renew within us Lord, a sense of its worth. Amen
 
ST ANDREWS IS LOOKING FOR NEW PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL MEMBERS
Want to be part of a body in the Parish that works closely with the Parish Priest to support our parish? Then please consider the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC). Some of their recent work includes putting in place measures to allow Mass to resume safely during lockdown. Activities are varied from organising family BBQs, encouraging the youth of the Parish to contribute to Mass and get more involved in the life of the Parish and listening to the voice of Parishioners and directing Parish life to support these wishes.
This weekend, nomination forms will be emailed to you and will be available in the church Porch.
The process of nomination is simple and forms need to be returned by 26 September to Father Mackle. You will also need two sponsors.
Please help support your Parish through involvement in this important body. Thanks.  Fr. Mackle
