The archdiocesan Youth Office is keen to get a bigger picture of what is going on across the Archdiocese and to gain an understanding of how to serve parishes more effectively. Over the course of the next few weeks, all parish priests are being invited to participate in a telephone questionnaire. Responses won't be published, although the youth office will feedback regarding common themes and desires. The purpose of the questionnaire is really to help the staff of the youth office see where there is need and to review its offerings.
RCAG Youth continue to offer the young people of Glasgow a variety of online opportunities to grow in faith and in fellowship with others during this time. These include Morning Prayer LIVE!, Lectio Divina Online and weekly audiences with guest speakers, amidst other things.

Flourish – this month's available at www.flourishnewspaper.co.uk
The Bishops’ Conference of Scotland has finalised its proposed infection control standards which will govern the reopening of parishes and have sent their guidelines to the Scottish Government.
President of the Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Hugh Gilbert, said: “A great deal of work has been done to provide guidance and support to clergy as they prepare for the phased reopening of our parishes. The guidelines have been prepared to reflect advice given in the Scottish Government’s Route Map on the gradual removal of restrictions...
Bishop Gilbert added: “We would hope to be able to issue our infection control and liturgical guidelines within the coming week.
"They will highlight the fact that the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains dispensed until further notice and everyone is asked to consider carefully whether or not they should return in the early phases.
"We are mindful of our duty of care to elderly clergy and lay people, which together with social distancing reductions in capacity will mean that the availability of Mass may reduce in some areas.”
Visiting of Sick and Housebound:- The clergy and extraordinary ministers of holy communion unfortunately are not permitted to visit the sick and housebound as these are high risk people and we need to avoid bringing the virus to them. Please don't hesitate to phone 942 4635 for telephone ministry.
Sacrament of Reconciliation:- If you would like Confession, that can be done in the Church grounds observing social distancing. Phone beforehand to arrange a time. Also, if it suits, I can come to you for Confession in your garden.

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