PRAY ONLINE WITH EASTER PODCASTS
People and priests of the parish communities
in the South Ayrshire part of our Diocese have recorded a 'Thought for the Day'
style reflection for each of the fifty days of the Easter season, from Easter
Sunday through to Pentecost Sunday. Each day’s reflection lasts up to six minutes
and includes a reading from the Mass of the day followed by the reflection especially
prepared by each contributor. There is quiet music in the background to help reflection
and prayer. The podcasts can be downloaded on the days of Eastertide from www.EasterPodcasts.co.uk
and will become
available as the days of the Easter season pass. It is hoped that the podcasts
provide a focus for prayer during Eastertide and that they fulfil Christ’s command
to “Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News”.
THANKS FROM
GRETA
I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to everyone who
was kind enough to offer their prayers, send me Mass Cards and Get Well cards
during my recent illness. Although I still have a long road ahead of me, to know
that so many of you are thinking of me is a comfort. Greta McGreevy
CHILDREN’S
LITURGY
We are in need of more volunteers for the Children’s Liturgy for the
coming August session. As it takes a little time to gain disclosure, we need to
think ahead. Please consider becoming a volunteer, especially if your child is
currently in Primary 3 as they will be taking part in the Sacramental Preparation
next year or if your child will be joining our Pre-5 Liturgy Group in August.
If you are interested, please contact the Parish Office on 464063 or Annie Watt.
RACE

Disco on Saturday 16 May at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £5 and include a buffet.
