MARY'S
MEALS,
SCOTTISH
CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL AID FUND
AND THE MISSIONARY SOCIETIES
These charities are always in need of any help you can give them.
LEGION OF MARY
The Legion of Mary meets
weekly and prays for the parish. The members visit the sick and house-bound.
The Legion can always do with new male and female members giving as much or
as little time as they can afford. Speak to Canon
Matt or any of the members.
SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
The Saint Vincent de Paul Society
meets weekly, assists with the passkeeping and collecting duties in
Church and runs a telephone helpline for those in financial difficulty. To
ensure its survival, the Society urgently requires new male and female members.
You must be over 18. The work is difficult. There are many people in our parish
and community who require assistance with finance, advice and encouragement.
“The harvest is great, but the labourers few.” Please speak to Canon
Matt or any of the members.
SAINT
ANNE'S GUILD
Saint
Anne's Guild meets weekly on a Tuesday at 7.00 pm. It is
open to all women in the parish and beyond. Speak to any of the members and
feel free to join any of the meetings.
IGNATIAN PRAYER GROUP

pm, the second Tuesday at 7.30 pm and the last Tuesday at 2.00 pm.
PRAYER REQUESTS
We have had a request from the Bishop of Sudan to pray for peace in their
country. The people are suffering very badly. Leaflets are available. There
is also an urgent request from the Holy Father that we pray for the Church
in China. There is renewed repression of the Church.
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.
