He will celebrate Mass in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow in the early evening of that day - the only public event. The Office for the Papal Visit has written to say that tickets will be available, transport will be arranged, no private cars will permitted within 45 minutes walk of the Park, shuttle buses will bring people to and from the Park to the designated bus parking area. All of the arrangements have to be finalised with Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police. Full details will be made public soon and we are urged not to make any private arrangements until full information is available.

PAPAL VISIT COLLECTION
There are Gift Aid forms you can use for the Papal Visit collection. If you put something in the collection, please fill in a form and drop it in. An envelope with 'Papal Visit' can be used to contribute at any time.
Our total to date is £756.90.

We will meet at Ferry Terminal where you can buy your own tickets. Feel free to call off if weather is bad. Bring a picnic supper and a little to share. We can meet on deck and enjoy the evening sail. This is the poor man’s substitute for the Waverley which is not calling at Ardrossan this year.
