Archbishop Tartaglia is the main celebrant and Archbishop Cushley is the preacher.
22nd September: The cluster core group made up representatives from St. John Ogilvie’s, St. Joseph’s, Our Lady’s and St. Cuthbert’s met last week to plan further the open meetings for parishioners from the cluster to reflect on the Archbishop’s plans for the future. There will be a series of three meetings based on the booklet (Cluster Parishes Together) which was distributed earlier in the year. The first of these is in St. Cuthbert’s. It will begin with teas and coffees at 7.00 p.m. and the meeting proper starting at 7.30 p.m. prompt, finishing at 9.00 p.m. More details will be available in due course but in the mean time please read up the booklet relating to meeting 1 so that you can come prepared to share in the meeting.
Parish Project: After the success of the last Parish Project when Calum’s Cabin and the Hospice of Hope in Myanmar shared the proceeds it is hoped to launch the next Parish Project after the holiday break. If you have any suggestions as to who could be beneficiaries please jot them down and hand them in after Mass over the next few weeks. Up until now, there has been a home based charity and an overseas one. Once we have enough suggestions a short leet will be drawn up and a decision taken as to who will be the beneficiaries for the next two years. Today will be last day to hand in your suggestions.
A new readers’rota is in the process of being created. If you would like to offer your services in this important ministry in the life of the Parish please let Mary Mulligan know (455.7906). No experience is needed since training and practices will be arranged.
