SUNDAY MASS TIMES
Sunday Mass times
in Saint Peter's are 5.30 pm Vigil and 10.30 am. Sunday
Mass times in other local parishes can be
seen here.
SACRAMENT OF FORGIVENESS
The Sacrament of Forgiveness is available at any suitable time as well as
from 4.30 pm before the Vigil Mass on Saturday evenings.
HOSPITAL
CHAPLAINCY
If a member of your family or a friend is sick, please let us know and give
us the details. Deacon Bill Corbett (01292 521208, 07904 248948, Rev.BillCorbett@btinternet.com)
is the chaplain to Crosshouse Hospital and is assisted by the priest on call
each week. Canon Pat Keegans is the chaplain to Ayr Hospital and the Ayrshire
Hospice.
FINANCES
Bankers Orders for the Parish and Parish Centre amount to £3500 per
month. We are grateful for your generous support in collections. If you can
manage a little more from time to time, it would be a great help. A Standing
Order would make the handling of money so much easier. Have you signed a Gift
Aid form? If you are a taxpayer the Church would get 25p added to every £1
you donate.
COLLECTIONS
Last weekend's Offertory collection amounted to £590.57 and the Maintenance
Fund collection to £237.43. Today is World Mission Sunday and the second
collection and envelopes are for the missionary work of the Church.
GIFT AID
The Inland Revenue now requires us to use a new style of Gift
Aid form. These are available at the back of the Church and on the parish
website. If you pay tax, please complete the new form and return it to the
box provided. This allows us to provide the additional information required
on the Gift Aid claim. Gift Aid is a vital source of income. All that is needed
is that you pay tax. You simply declare that you give funds to the Church.
We do the rest. Why not sign a form today? We get back an extra 25p for every
£1 you give the Church in your weekly collection or by way of a donation.
There is no need to cancel or renew it. We simply claim in the income we receive.
PARISH RECORDS
Our parish records are covered by the Data Protection Act and are for parish
use only. We cannot give out phone numbers or addresses. Please help us to
keep our records up to date using the cards provided.
ENROLMENT FOR THE SACRAMENTS
The Ceremony of Enrolment for the Sacraments will take place at 10.30 am Mass
this Sunday, 23 October. The Sunday Readings e tcetera for these children
will begin next week and is an essential part of their preparation. Please
keep in your prayers Liam, Rosin, Louise, Jodie, Daisy, Daniel, Amy, Roxy,
Emma, Matthew, Anna Louise, Ammie-Leigh, Amy, Caleb, Anthony Claire, Freya
and Molly as well as their parents and teachers. The children are candidates
for Confirmation by Bishop William
on Friday 17 February at 7.00 pm and will receive Holy Communion for the first
time at Sunday Mass in May or June this coming year.
READERS
Next weekend's readers are Ronnie Cairns at 5.30 pm and Angela
Body and Ami Paterson at 10.30 am.
ALTAR SERVERS
Please could all Altar Servers collect the new rota from the sacristy?
Could you please leave either an email or postal address for future rotas
as due to unforeseen circumstances information previously held is unavailable
to us. Next weekend's altar servers are Group 1 at 5.30 pm
and Group 3 at 10.30 am.
CHILDREN’S
LITURGY
As we begin our new term of Children's Liturgy, we would like to welcome all
nursery and primary 1 to 3 children to join us during the 10.30 am Sunday
Mass. Our Primary 4 group will begin on 30 October after their Presentation
Sunday which will be arranged soon. We
are looking for volunteers to help support these groups to help us keep the
wonderful programme for the children we have in this parish. If you would
like to volunteer or would just like more information, please contact Michelle
at the Parish Office on 464063. Thank you. Next week's helpers are Elaine
Shaw and Emily Tarbet for the pre-fives and Michelle Morton, Teresa Louden
and Jacqueline Smith for Primaries 1, 2 and 3.
SUNDAY
TEAS
We
are very short of Sunday Tea teams. Is there any chance of a group of friends
forming a team? It would be a shame to lose the Sunday Teas altogether. Would
you consider making a team or joining a team that organises the teas and coffees
after Sunday 10.30 am Mass? If so, please leave your details at the Parish
Office or telephone 01294 464063.
Next Sunday's teas will be served by the Caritas team.
MUSIC AT MASS
Music is an essential part of Mass. Are there any budding musicians willing
to offer their talent and service?
CHILDREN ENROLLING FOR THE SACRAMENTS
The children of our parish who are old enough will be Confirmed by Bishop
William on Friday 17 February at 7.00 pm and will receive Holy Communion
for the first time at a Sunday Mass in May. The dates will be arranged. The
Ceremony of Enrolment will take place at the 10.30 am Mass on Sunday 23 October.
This is later than planned - blame the holiday! The Sunday Readings et cetera
for Primary 4 will begin then.
MAKE A WILL FORTNIGHT
Taylor and Henderson of Saltcoats will help you make a will between 17 and
31 October in exchange for a donation to the Ayrshire Hospice. You can make
an appointment by telephoneing 01294 464341. You know you should.

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
voluntary members, to work together to prevent the physical, sexual, emotional
abuse or neglect of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
