ARCHDIOCESE OF GLASGOW – 2021 LOURDES MASS
Carfin Lourdes Grotto – Mass with Sacramental Anointing of the Sick to be held on Sunday 18th July at 3pm. Why not respond to this invite to gather as an Archdiocesan family to honour our blessed Mother, pray for our sick, the isolated and the bereaved? For the second consecutive year the Covid 19 restrictions have prevented the Archdiocese from holding its annual pilgrimage to Lourdes – this year we are celebrating at Carfin Lourdes Grotto a Mass on Glasgow Fair Sunday.
CLEANING OF THE CHURCH
We ask for more volunteers to help with ‘deep cleaning’ and sanitising of the Church during the summer months – to help relieve the work of our present cleaners and perhaps offer them a rest. Deep cleaning and sanitising takes place each Saturday morning from 10am to 11am – any length of time (given by volunteers during this hour) would be most appreciated. Our grateful thanks to all our parish cleaners at weekends/weekdays and to our parish stewards and to all the parishioners who have organised our Sunday weekend Mass telephone bookings – again we are truly thankful for these and all services and sacrifices given by our parishioners for the benefit of us all.
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
We wish all our school children, their teachers and families a well-earned, safe and peaceful rest in the company of family, friends and loved ones.
ANNIVERSARIES
We wish all those who are celebrating Wedding Anniversaries at this time of the year continued happiness and joy in the years ahead – to all brother priests, religious and deacons the strength to continue to serve God’s people in humility, charity, respect, joy and compassion in imitation of our Lord and Master, Jesus.
– Ad multos annos to all –
