SUNDAY COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection amounted
to £716.28. 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 £323.66 - many
thanks.
MISSION SUNDAY.
Today is Mission Sunday. There is a Special
Collection for the Propagation of the Faith. Everything goes to Missio to be sent
to Rome. All of the collection finds its way to Bishops in Mission countries to
be used for the poorest of their people. If you pay tax, you can fill in a Gift
Aid form from the stalland Missio gets the tax back. Some of our parishioners
are members of Association for the propagation of the Faith. Fees
are £100 for life, £25 per family per year and £10 ordinary
membership per year. The annual family and ordinary subscriptions are now due.
An envelope with your name and address next week will be fine.
RETIRED
PRIESTS FUND COLLECTION
Our Retired Priests Fund collection was postponed
in September, though some of you put in your envelopes. The collection will be
taken up over the weekend of 8 and 9 November. We have held over the envelopes
already in and they will be added to the collection.
READERS
Next
weekend's readers are Louise Moore at 5.30 pm, Annie Watt at 10.00 am and Tom
Reid at 12.00 noon.
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.
OUR
DAY BY DAY
Our Day By Day is a little monthly booklet of scripture readings
and thought for each day. You could find it invaluable. The October issue is complimentary.
If you would like to subscribe, please put your name on the list at the stall.
We could make it available at £15 per yearly subscription or £1.50 per month.
MAGNIFICAT
Magnificat is another
monthly booklet. The November issue is complimentary and, like Our Day By Day,
would be ideal for anyone who is housebound.
RACE NIGHT
A Race Night
will be held on 14 November at 8.00 pm to raise funds for a replacement carpet
in the Church. Tickets costing £2.50 are available from the Parish Office.
Sponsorship and prizes are very welcome.
FATHER
JOHN'S EAST
AFRICAN FUND
There will be
a Car Treasure Hunt on Sunday 26 October, meeting at 1.00 pm in the car park.
The cost is £5 per car. For more details, contact Kathleen Quinn. A Tanzanian
Auction will be held on Wednesday 29 October at 7.30 pm in the Parish Centre.
Entry is free. Please bring an item - your trash is our treasure! Tea and coffee
will be served and there will be a raffle. Both of these events are to raise funds
for the work Father
John started
in East Africa. We welcome your support. Already we have paid school fees for
some of his students. Many thanks to Alison for the presentation of her visit
to Tanzania and meeting with Father
John.
SPEED
LIMIT
Please observe the 5 miles per hour speed limit in the car park. We
must ensure the safety of all who use that space.
THURSDAY CLUB COFFEE
MORNING
The Thursday
Club Coffee Morning will be on Saturday 8 November at 10.30 am in the
Parish Centre. There will be the usual stalls including baking, Christmas goods,
bric-a-brac and so on. All donations of goods are welcome. Tickets cost £1.50.
SAINT MATTHEW’S ACADEMY MALAWI PARTNERSHIP
Saint Matthew's Academy
opened nearly a year and the partnership with Saint Peter’s Primary School continues
to grow. Currently initiatives in Saint Mathew’s include collecting unwanted football
strips in time for Christmas and Christmas gifts for orphan’s parcels with lollipops,
balloons, toothbrushes, pens, pencils, Christmas cards and paper and party toys.
Money is being raised for postage for the gifts and strips with any surplus providing
Christmas parties. The gifts that are being sent cost around 50p, which is a tiny
fraction of what is spent on children in this country. Please pray for success.
IN
YOUR THIRTIES?
The Thirtysomethings invite you to a ceilidh on Saturday 25 October at Turnbull
Hall, Catholic Chaplaincy, 15 Southpark Terrace, Hillhead, Glasgow G12 8LG from

further details of this or to receive a programme, including a group walk, hill
walk, monthly meal, film night, coffee and chat, Advent retreat and so on, send

SEVENTIETH
BIRTHDAY OF SAINT PETER’S CHURCH
Despite it being a difficult time for everyone,
I would like to go ahead with the new carpet for the Church and the completion
of the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. There is a Finance Committee meeting of the this
week and I’ll speak about it next week. There is no good time to undertake work
but some things have to be done. If everyone has a hand in paying for the work,
we will do it easily.
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.
