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”.
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.

NIGHT

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

VOCATIONS
SUNDAY
Vocatiions Sunday is on 3 May. Have you ever considered life as a priest
in Scotland? Is this an idea that has been at the back of your mind for some time?
Is it time to spend just a few hours exploring the Lord’s call? A retreat has
been arranged for anyone considering a call to diocesan priesthood. The purpose
of this overnight experience is simply to bring like-minded individuals together
for prayer, reflection and relaxation. The offer to come and join us is made at
no cost and without obligation - simply come and see. This event will take place
on 29 and 30 May in the Dunkeld Pastoral Centre, Dundee. Please contact Priests
for Scotland on 0141 554 6936 to arrange accommodation.
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.
