Diocesan Pastoral Council
Bishop Brian is looking for representatives for a diocesan pastoral council. It would be good if we could have at least one representative from St. Mary’s. If anyone is interested, please speak to me Fr. David.
Safe Space Listening
I have noticed in recent months, that there are more people seeking a safe space to talk about things in their life, that they are struggling with. I hope that if you know of anyone in the community who would like to share anything that they are finding difficult, would feel free to phone me on 01397702174. This as always would be a safe and confidential space. Fr. David.
Teas And Coffees
Next weekend there will be teas and coffees in the chapel house. All are most welcome.
Ignatian Spirituality Retreats
RETREAT WEEKENDS FOR PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT WHAT IS NEXT IN LIFE ‘Navigating the way forward’ – Either 13-15 March (Conforti, Coatbridge) or 8-10 May (Benedictine Monastery, Largs)
Take time out with God for reflection, input and community as we consider how to discern where we are and where we might be invited to next steps. For those facing choices in life, or wondering if there are changes which would lead to greater growth.
‘GOING DEEPER’ FOR PEOPLE NEW TO THE CATHOLIC FAITH (RCIA) – 1-3 May Pluscarden Benedictine Monastery, Elgin
Take time to pause and reflect on your faith journey in the beautiful surroundings of Pluscarden Benedictine Monastery.
Arrivals from 5pm on Friday 1st May and leaving after 12:00 noon lunch on Sunday 3 May.
This residential retreat is designed for those who have been through RCIA (a programme which prepares people to become Roman Catholic)
The weekend will include opportunities to try different ways of praying, exploring some of the Ignatian (Jesuit) and Benedictine traditions, and sharing with others on living a reflective life.
We will have time together as a group, as well as periods of silence and personal reflection.
