The help you are giving to pay for the new boiler is very, very useful. The

or visit www.sciaf2.org.uk/parish.
THE NEW MISSAL
A document titled Getting To Know The New Roman Missal can be accessed by
clicking here. Please
be patient. Having to struggle a little bit with new ways of saying things
means that we are paying more attention to the words we say at Mass! Pocket
sized Mass BooksPocket 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.
REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
A joint service for Remembrance Sunday, 13 November, will be held at 1.00
pm in the Evangelical Union Church, Glasgow Street then at 1.30 at the Garden

Being Church day to be held on 13 November.

is the responsibility of all of us, ordained, professed, paid and
