A selection of Christmas cards, calendars, and items are available from the ‘Piety Stall’ Christmas stock. Please phone Fr Frank if interested.
ADVENT JESSE TREE
Traditionally we place our gifts and prayers at the foot of and on the branches of our ‘Jesse Tree’ during the weeks of Advent to be given with our love and respect to our families within our parish and to Glasgow North West Foodbank.
We ask a special appeal during the first weeks of Advent for any small, inexpensive toy for our children as they above all are our ‘gift’ from God to us and a major focus of our celebrations at this special time of the year for all our families – particularly those in need. Many thanks.
