SUNDAY COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection amounted to £679.07. We are grateful for your
generous support of the Parish. Banker's Orders amount to an average of £4400
per month.
BANKER'S
ORDERS, GIFT AID AND WILLS
Have you thought of using a Bankers Order? It assists
us with the safe handling of cash. Have you signed a Gift Aid Form? If you pay
tax, then every £1 you give to the Parish is worth £1.28 to us. Would
you consider remembering Saint Peter's in your will?
PARISH CENTRE COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection for the Parish Centre amounted to £281.90 - many
thanks.
READERS
Next weekend's readers are Margaret Munn, Michael
Clarke and Angela Body.
BULLETIN AND WORSHIP SHEETS
Notices for inclusion
in the Bulletin need to be here by Thursday of each week. After Mass we would
be grateful if you would return the worship sheets to the boxes for use at a later
Mass.
SCOTTISH
CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL AID FUND (SCIAF) BOXES
Please continue to use SCIAF
boxes throughout the year or make a box of your own. Please hand in any donations
for forwarding to SCIAF for our poorest brothers and sisters.
THREE
TOWNS CHURCHES CRUISE
The Charity Evening Cruise will take place on Wednesday
30 July. Tickets already purchased will be valid for this new date. If this new
date is not suitable a full refund will be given. All the Churches in Ardrossan
are combining for the Cruise. Profits go the Vine Trust for work in South America.
Cruise leaves Ardrossan 6.15 pm and should return around 9.15 pm. Tickets are
£18 and £8. We have only a few of our allocation left.
SAINT
PETER'S CHILDREN'S CENTRE
Afternoon places are available in Saint Peter's
Nursery starting in August 2008. For more information and an application form,
please contact Josephine Coulter.
CATHOLIC
NEWSPAPERS
Each week, we have copies of the Scottish Catholic Observer and
The Universe available for sale. They are informative on events happening in the
Catholic world in Scotland and the rest of the world. Perhaps you could reserve
your copy at the stall. This would ensure that we order enough and not too many.
FATHER
JOHN
We had a meeting on Monday and there was general agreement that
we should do our best to support Father
John. A fund, for legal reasons separate from the Parish Accounts, will be
opened as a way of sending help to Father
John. This is safer than sending help to him directly. Cheques should be made
payable to Father John
Fundraising Account. Some events have already been arranged and more ideas will
be welcomed. There will be a Tanzanian Auction, like a Chinese Auction, in the
Parish Centre on Wednesday 18 June at 7.30 pm. Entry costs £1 and includes
tea or coffee. Please bring an item to auction. Your trash is someone else's treasure.
There will be a sponsored walk on Saturday 5 July at 10.00 am. Bring the family
and a picnic. Walk from Saint Peter's to the Waterside Inn, Seamill, have a picnic
and walk back at your own leisure. For sponsor forms, contact Marlene Crichton.
URGENT
- HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY AND FERTILISATION BILL
The Human Embryology and Fertilisation
Bill and other 'life' legislation comes back to the Commons soon for final reading.
Please take time to write to Katy Clark MP and ask her to reconsider her vote.
Template letters are available. Thanks.
NEW
PASTOR
The Church of the Nazarene in Glasgow Street has appointed a new Pastor.
There is an invitation to all Saint Peter's parishioners to met him at a social
at the Church on Sunday at 4.30 pm.
HEALTH
AND SAFETY OFFICER
The Parish requires a Health and Safety Officer. We have
all the paperwork, all the rules, the diocesan manual and so on. The job would
be suitable for someone who has or has had such experience at work. You would
certainly be better than the Parish Priest whose responsibility it is at the moment.
Please call me.
THURSDAY
CLUB HOLIDAY IN WALES
The bus for the Thursday
Club holiday to Wales leaves Saint Peter's car park on Monday 30 June at 8.00
am.
BULLETIN

you would like the Bulletin sent to your computer, please give us an email address.
PROTECTION
OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT
The Catholic Church in
Scotland is concerned with the lives, safety, wholeness and well-being of each
individual person within God's purpose for everyone. It seeks to safeguard the
welfare of people of all ages who are involved in whatever capacity with the Church
and its organisations. As a Church community, we accept that it is the responsibility
of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and voluntary members, to work together
to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect of children, young
people and vulnerable adults.
