FIRST COMMUNIONS 2020
We now prepare to welcome more of our parish children from St Ninian’s Primary for their First Communion next Saturday 3rd October at 10:15 am and 11:30 am Mass. On Saturday 10th October we will warmly welcome our parish children who attend other local schools to receive their First Holy Communion at 11:00 am Mass. We are delighted to welcome these children to join us at the Lord’s Table and pray that their enthusiasm, joy, and love of Jesus may grow daily and remain with them throughout their lives. We thank our parents, teachers, catechists, and all
parishioners who have helped to prepare our children for this most memorable day in their lives.
PARISH ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY CONFERENCE
Have asked us to inform our parishioners that some heating providers are offering a ‘Warm Home Discount Scheme’ at this time of the year. You should check with your ‘provider’ to see if they are operating this scheme as soon as possible. The payment is lodged in your account – March 2021.
SCIAF
SCIAF is currently looking for volunteers to help them raise awareness of SCIAF’s work in parishes throughout Scotland. Please help them as they seek to hopefully welcome 100 new Parish Volunteers over the next two years helping to champion SCIAF’s brand new campaign to stop hunger, conflict, and injustice. Could you put up posters, hand out WEE BOXES in St Ninian’s, deliver talks about SCIAF’s work or organise fundraising events in St Ninian’s? Join the SCIAF team, make new friends, and give a hand up to people in poverty.
Please speak to Fr Frank if this interests you or visit getinvolved@sciaf.org.uk – www.sciaf.org.uk/volunteer or call 0141 354 5555.

– May they rest in peace –
