- many thanks.
RETIRED PRIESTS FUND COLLECTION
There will be a collection for the Retired Priests Fund on Sunday 9 October.

of cash. Banker's Orders for the Parish and Centre amount to an average of
£3800 per month. Forms are available.
GIFT AID
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. Forms are available.

for the pre-5s, Elaine Shaw and Michelle Morton for primaries 1 and 2, Michelle
Morton and Maria Paterson for primary 3 and Kerry Scott and Claire Sweenie
for Primary 4. The Liturgy for Primary 4 restarts on 2 October. Our Liturgy
is run by volunteers on a rota basis. We are in need of some new volunteers
to help us in running the groups. This would be and ideal time to join as
we are having an evening to apply for Disclosure for volunteers as mentioned
below. If you are interested, please contact the Parish Office on 464063 and
leave your name and number. Thanks.
SUNDAY TEAS
Next Sunday's teas will be served by Saint Peter's School team.
PARISH LOURDES GROUP CONCERT
Our recent social event to raise funds for the Church heating system raised
a total of £1000 - a tremendous effort as well as an enjoyable evening
had by all who attended. We would like to thank all who assisted by their
help in any way. We would also like to encourage other groups in the Parish
to follow our lead in raising much needed funds and bringing the community
together.
CHURCH HEATING
The new heating system - with two boilers - is installed. This was an expense
of £10000 we didn’t expect. Any help you can give would be very, very
useful. I will re-issue the brown envelopes. A donation of £20+ - and
gift-aided if you can - would ease the pain. Some fundraising by parish groups
would be a great help. Personal donations of £1190 plus £1000
from the Lourdes Group Concert bring the total to £2190.
BISHOP CUNNINGHAM'S GOLDEN JUBILEE
A Mass to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood
of Bishop John Cunningham will be held in Saint Margaret’s Cathedral, Ayr
on Sunday 9 October at 3.00 pm. All are welcome.
CHRISTMAS CARDS AND CALENDARS
A lovely selection to Christmas cards and calendars is available at the Stall.
PAPAL BLESSINGS
Papal Blessings for a wedding, wedding anniversary or a special birthday can
be ordered at the stall. The cost of the parchment and postage is about £30.
Please leave plenty of time.
SCOTTISH CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL AID FUND (SCIAF)
SCIAF is holding catch-up sessions for anyone interested in finding out more
about its work. You can meet parish volunteers in your diocese and chat to
SCIAF staff about the issues that matter to your parish. For more information,
phone 0141 354 5524, email rlamb@sciaf.org.uk
or visit www.sciaf2.org.uk/parish.
LOURDES WATER
There is some Lourdes Water available at the stall. A suggested donation for
the bottle only is £1.
SOCIAL EVENTS
During the winter months, we need to organise a few social events - for the
fun of it. The sail to Arran and the barbecue were well attended and enjoyed.
We have very heavy expenditure on a new heating boiler for the church and
the eventual painting of the church. Suggestions will always be welcome.
THE NEW MISSAL
A document titled Getting To Know The New Roman Missal can be accessed by
clicking here. We
have begun to use the new translation and the new Altar Missal will be available
for Advent. Pocket sized Mass Books are available from the stall at £2.
The responses and the (slightly) new versions of the Gloria and Creed are
your parts - most of the changes are in the priest’s parts of the Mass. The
Readings are not changing but they will conclude “The Word of the Lord” instead
of “This is the Word of the Lord.”. To bring some uniformity in Scotland the
Bishops ask that we stand from the invitation “Pray, brothers and sister….”
to the end of the “Holy, holy…” and then kneel for the Eucharistic Prayer.
We will introduce that shortly. Please leave the new Mass Response cards on
the pews.
SINGING THE MASS
Two music workshops for parish musicians, cantors and people who enjoy singing
have been organised by the Galloway Music Network. The first will take place
in Saint Winin’s Church, Kilwinning on Saturday 15 October from 1.00 pm, concluding
with the Vigil Mass. The second takes place in Saint Joseph’s Church, Kilmarnock
on Saturday 12 November from 1.00 pm, again concluding with the Vigil Mass.
During the afternoon, the group will have the opportunity to prepare, in some
detail, music for the evening Mass. Please visit www.lawrencesolutions.co.uk/music/
for more information, or contact Nicola Lawrence on 01465 714797. The Mass
of the Resurrection setting will be taught, hopefully in parts, and used at
both Masses. Booking forms are available from this website and from your parish
priest and parish musicians. If a parish would like to host an event like
this delivered by the Galloway Music Network please contact Nicola Lawrence
at the number given.
DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND
A diocesan pilgrimage to the Holy Land, led by Bishop Cunningham, has been
organised for 15 to 22 October 2012. It is expected that this pilgrimage group
will be quite small in number - between 30 and 40 pilgrims - therefore early
booking is recommended. For more information, please see the poster and leaflets
provided. Further details he obtained by contacting Mancunia Travel Limited.

A pilgrimage to Lourdes by coach for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
will take place between 6 and 11 December. Details are on the notice board.

PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT

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
