Day for Life Collection Sunday 21 June
The National Day for Life Collection is split 50/50 between the Archdiocese and the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland. The Archdiocesan share will be used to support pro-life work covering issues at the beginning and end of life: the unborn and their mothers, the disabled, the elderly and the dying. This may include support for advocacy, education, pastoral care and formation in these areas, particularly in response to current developments and needs. In recent years, the Archdiocese has supported work including opposition to assisted suicide, protection of the unborn, post-abortion support, and the formation of young pro-lifers.

Thank You to Fr Francis and the Parish from St Cuthbert’s RC Primary School
The school would like to put on record, its sincere thanks for all of the help we have received from Fr Francis and the parish this year and particularly since the decant from our building in March. It has been a great demonstration of the power of the link between Catholic schools and parishes. We are so grateful.
