OFFERTORY COLLECTION
Last
weekend's Offertory collection amounted to £666.86. We are grateful for
your generous support of the Parish. Banker's Orders amount to an average of £4000
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? The recession is hitting everyone. Thanks for the support you manage to
give the Parish.
PARISH
CENTRE COLLECTION
Last
weekend's collection for the Parish Centre amounted to £305.75 - many thanks.
READERS
Next
weekend's readers are Katrina Pollock at 5.30 pm, Sarah Guthrie at 10 am and Jim
Delahunt at 12 noon.
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)
Is there any one
out there who would like to join the RCIA group? It will start within the next
couple of weeks.
ITALIAN NIGHT
The Italian Night is booked to take
place on Friday 27 November. This is the second partnership event between the
Italian Twinning Group and Parish Centre funds.
RACE NIGHT
A Race
Night with light supper in aid of the Parish Lourdes Group will be held in the
Parish Centre on Friday 13 November. Tickets costing £3 each are available
from Myriame Sammons. Half of the money raised will go to the Lourdes Fund and
half to the Parish Centre. All donations are welcome. Thank you.
CARITAS
IN VERITATE
Caritas in Veritate, the new Encyclical Letter of Pope Benedict
on finance, banking and justice in our society, is now published. It can be purchased
at the stall for the discounted price of £1.
CROSSHOUSE HOSPITAL
If you or a family member is going into Crosshouse Hospital and wishes a visit
from the hospital Chaplain, please let us know. If you or a family member is housebound,
please let us know. Unless told, we don’t know about it.
HELP FOR THE
SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN
Thank you for all your kind donations to our shoebox
parcel appeal. We now have enough to fill the next delivery of boxes. As our next
delivery is going to arrive at Christmas time, we are looking for small Christmas
things to put into them. We would ask if anyone would like to write a card or
letter, donate any writing materials, give a small Christmas pudding or any other
small Christmas item. We would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
PARISH
REGISTRATION
We still do not have an up-to-date register of Parishioners -
even those who come to Mass. Many of you have filled in the little green forms
- thanks - and that is all you have to do. Some haven’t got round to it yet and
we would be grateful if you would do it. The Parish website has a link
for you to forward your name, address and phone number.
NEW LICENSING
LAWS
Due to the new laws, a drinks license for the Parish Centre must be obtained
28 days in advance. If children are to be present, then the number of children
must be noted on the application form. There can be no exceptions to the legislation.
Please keep this in mind if you wish to use the Parish Centre. We are unable to
get a licence at short notice, for example, a post-funeral reception. Arrangements
can be made with a caterer.
SAINT
ANNE'S GUILD
Saint
Anne's Guild meets in the Parish Centre at 7.00 pm every Tuesday.
New members are welcome.
THURSDAY
CLUB SUNDAY TEAS
Canon
Matt
wishes to put on record our thanks to the members of the Thursday
Club for the sterling work of being a Sunday morning Tea Team
for many years and for all the other work they do. The Ladies feel that it is
now time to hang up their aprons and we are grateful to them for all that they
have done. Is there a group of friends who would like to form a new team? Please
speak to us about it.
SAINT
VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY COFFEE MORNING
The
Saint Vincent de Paul Society Coffee
Morning will be held on Saturday 31 October. There will be various
stalls and a prize raffle. Donations for any stall are most welcome. On this occasion,
the Conference plans to divide the proceeds of the event between Our Lady of the
Wayside Works Conference which runs the Ozanam Day Centre for the Homeless in
Glasgow and the Holy Spirit Works Conference in Greenock which supports the Inverclyde
Drugs Project. As always, we ask for your generous support and hope
with your
help, to bring real practical assistance and Christian love and solidarity to
the many men and women in need who use and depend on these facilities
