Information Sheets for all parishioners
“Thank you to all who have submitted their contact detail forms and to those who have offered their services. A gentle reminder to submit yours by the end of May 2026, as we plan to send out first emails in June. We will be in contact with the new volunteers soon.”
Railway Club Ceilidh
“Date for your diaries – Saturday 24 October 2026. It has been a wee while since we had a social gathering. To coincide with the opening date of St Mary’s in October 1934, we plan to hold a Ceilidh at the Railway Club in Inverlochy on 24/10/2026. More details to follow, including ticket sales, however we will be happy to collect any raffle prizes you can spare.”
SVDP
We had a meeting last Wednesday with the President of the SVDP Scotland. Thankfully, she is willing to support a new group in Lochaber, but we desperately need volunteers. We are thankful to the three people who have come forward. We are awaiting a response from the SVDP.
Day for Life Collection
This Sunday there will be a second collection at all masses for the work of “Day for Life”.
Please be as generous as you can be to this worthy cause.
Finance Meeting
There will be Parish Finance meeting on Wednesday the 24th of June at 7pm in the church house. If you are on the PFC Committee, please put this date aside in your diary.
Fabric and Care for the Parish and Grounds
Over the last few years, it has been increasingly difficult to maintain the parish church and grounds. This has fallen on a very few members who are now finding it very hard to continue.
Deacon Thomas and myself are proposing that once a month for two hours a group will meet to keep on top of the maintenance. A date is yet to be agreed. Fr. David.
Sick Housebound and those in Care Homes or in Hospital
A huge part of our pastoral work is taken up with visiting the sick and the housebound, which is a privilege to do. Unfortunately, we are often not informed of those who are in hospital or housebound, this makes it difficult to provide pastoral care for them. If you have anyone that you know who is in need of a pastoral visit, please get in touch with either
Deacon Thomas or myself. Fr. David
