SUNDAY COLLECTION

We are grateful for your generous support of the Parish. Banker's Orders amount
to an average of £4400 per month.
BANKER'S
ORDERS, GIFT AID AND WILLS
Have you thought of using a Bankers Order? It assists
us with the safe handling of cash. Have you signed a Gift Aid Form? If you pay
tax, then every £1 you give to the Parish is worth £1.28 to us. Would
you consider remembering Saint Peter's in your will?
PARISH CENTRE COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection for the Parish Centre amounted to £298.57 - many
thanks.
READERS
Next weekend's readers are Elsie Brodie at 5.30 pm,

CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to Robert and Veronica Stevenson who are celebrating their Golden
Wedding anniversary this weekend. May God bless them and give them His love.
PARISH OFFICE
The Parish Office is normally staffed each weekday from
9.00 am to 1.00 pm. Outside of these times, there may be someone there or you
can leave a message on 464063.
MASS LEAFLETS
Mass Leaflets are our way
of providing you with the Sunday Readings and the music for Mass. You are welcome
to take one home or to the housebound. If you are not doing so, we would be grateful
if you would return the Mass leaflets to the boxes for use at a later Mass. Please
try not to leave bulletins and leaflets on the seat. It makes you and the Church
look untidy. Thanks.
CHILDREN'S
LITURGY
The Children's Liturgy has resumed for three to five year olds and
Primary 1 to Primary 3 pupils today. The Children's Sacramental Programme has
begun and their Sunday Liturgy will start next Sunday. If your children attend
the Liturgy at any stage would you consider helping the children? Due to children
and parents moving up groups, we are in need of volunteers to help with the Children's
Liturgy. If you are interested, please add your name to the list on the notice
board at the back of the Church or contact the Parish Office on 464063 with your
details for gaining disclosure.

PROTECTION
OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS - MISSION STATEMENT
The Catholic Church in
Scotland is concerned with the lives, safety, wholeness 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.
