Synod

Grateful thanks to all who took part in our first meeting on the Synod. It was a very open and frank discussion, and we look to the future with confidence. It was felt that it would be beneficial to have a meeting in St. John’s Caol to discuss some particular topics pertaining to them. This meeting will be held on Tuesday the 28th of June at 7pm, in St. John’s.

 

Organist

With Kevin leaving to go to pastures new, we are in need of an organist to play on Sundays at St. Mary’s, and as required. If anyone knows of anyone who could help with this post, please contact Fr. David. There will be a salary commensurate to experience, and the time that they are able to give to the role.

New Organ for St. Mary’s

A huge thank you to Michael Fitzsimons on helping with the electrical work for the new organ, it is hoped that the organ will be in place by the end of this month.

Ordination of Philip Bua

Philip’s ordination to the priesthood will take place on Tuesday the 21st of June at 7pm in St. Columba’s Cathedral Oban. We keep Philip very much in our prayers at this time.

St. Mary’s Cleaning of Church

Many thanks to those who cleaned the church on Friday. Please come along and help if you can. Cleaning will be on the first Friday of the month after morning mass.

Parish Phone

Unfortunately, the parish phone has not been working recently. The problem is in hand, anyone wishing to get in touch, please get me on my mobile. 07880583703. Fr. David.

Official Prayer for the World Meeting of Families

At the back of the church are prayer cards for the World Meeting of Families. Please help yourself to one and pray for the success of the meeting.
