Message from Miss Leah Burns, to the Parents and Children of St. Columba’s School

I want to start by thanking you all- from the school and the Church- we really appreciate the commitment and dedication shown thus far. We would like to continue to encourage you to attend the local masses as frequently as possible on the run up to the First Holy Communion sacrament and after. We have decided to stay with the Thursday as that has worked so far and is working best for us due to lots of other commitments- I am sorry if this does not suit everyone. On the poster I have listed the dates, times, and venue- it is unlikely that these will change but we will try to give you as much advance warning as possible if something does need to change. If you know in advance of any dates, you can’t make please let us know.

I hope you will all be as excited as I am to see we have set a date for the two sacraments.

Sunday the 14^th of May after 11,15am mass in St. Mary’s.

Sunday the 25^th of June St. Mary’s First Holy Communion 11.15am.

Isobel MacEachan R.I.P.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Isobel. To David and the family, we offer our love and our prayers at this time. Isobel’s funeral will be in the Duncansburgh on Saturday the 29^th of April at 12noon.
