Message from Fr. Stan

I just thought it would be good to let you know that Fr John Eagers, former Spiritual Director in Rome and a priest of the Diocese of Paisley will be leading my Parishes on an Advent Retreat between 9th and 12th December. Fr John will provide me with more detailed program soon but initially we would have a Mass in the morning and an afternoon session. If anyone is interested in this, please contact Fr. Stan.

SVDP Fund

Each Christmas we have an annual collection for those most in need. There are people in our communities struggling for food, electricity etc. Our collection will be on Sunday the 22nd of December, please be as generous as you can. Fr. David.

New Missals

I have ordered several Sunday Missals which should arrive in the next week. The daily missals are not out till next April 2025.
