Brazil Jar
BRAZIL COINS AND CLOTHES….. Please take a jar from the back of the church to collect spare coins for Brazil. This money helps small projects that get very little and often no other support. We also send 2 cases of clothes to Brazil in September and December. People have been very good in the past, instead of throwing out children’s clothes they handed them in to send to Brazil.
We are looking for clothes for boys/girls from 2 year of age to early teens.
A Catholic Social Teaching message from Pope Paul VI:
For victims of torture "Whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as.... torments inflicted on body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself.... are infamies indeed. They poison human society but they do more harm to those who practise them than those who suffer from the injury. Moreover they are supreme dishonour to the Creator." - (Gaudium et Spes para.27 )

COMPUTER PROBLEM !!!!

Technology is great when it functions well but went it goes wrong creates so many

notices may not be published or the diary up to date as it was all on the computer.

Fr. Mike Freyne MHM
FR. MIKE’S 40TH ANNIVERSAY TO THE PRIESTHOOD.
Fr Mike wishes to thank the organising committee, parishioners and all who helped celebrated the 40th anniversary of his ordina-tion to the priesthood. With Bishop Stephen and 22 priests from the Dunkeld Diocese, Mill Hill Missionaries, Missio and Archdiocese of Edinburgh with a large crowd of friends and parishioners a very joyful, well sung mass was celebrated. Informality, mission and thanksgiving was
the flavour of the evening. It was wonderful to see the participation from Kate who read the Reading at his ordination; Carly from our St. Bernadette’s school the second Reading, Fr. Mike’s sisters and parishioners in the offertory procession. Great thanks goes out to the other readers, altar servers, sacristans, choir, cleaners, flower arrangement, pass-keepers and many others who behind the scenes spent hours preparing sandwiches, baking and cooking to put on a wonderful spread. So much food was supplied people were being encouraged to take bags home!! It was a wonderful parish experience and celebration. Many thanks for all the gifts, cards and especially the very unexpected cheque from the parish of £1,440!
God bless all.

There will be a second collection for Apostleship of the Sea, the official maritime welfare agency of the Catholic Church in Britain. It provides prac-tical and spiritual support to seafarers visiting our ports. As it is wholly dependent on voluntary donations, please give generously.

Peter’s Pence Special Collection
Apostleship of The Sea Special Collection
Peter’s Pence Collection on 2nd July
The focus of the collection is primarily for the pope’s charitable efforts to help the poor, the homeless and those in need. The annual collection gives parishioners every-where an opportunity to actively demonstrate unity with the pope, our personal support for his mission as Vicar of Christ and a way to help our needy brothers and sisters.
It is also worth remembering that the Catholic Church is the biggest aid agency in the world.
