We are grateful for your generous support of the parish and the diocese to
which we pay a monthly levy of £1250.
PARISH CENTRE COLLECTION
Last weekend's collection for the Parish Centre amounted to £310.74
- many thanks.
BANKER'S ORDERS
Have you thought of using a Bankers Order? It assists us with the safe handling
of cash. Banker's Orders for the Parish and Centre amount to an average of
£3800 per month. Forms are available.
GIFT AID
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. Forms are available.
WILLS
Would you consider remembering Saint Peter's in your will?
READERS

Harvey at 10.00 am and Ronnie Cairns at 12 noon.
ALTAR SERVERS
Next weekend's altar servers are Group 1 at 5.30 pm, Group 5 at 10.00
am and Group 7 at 12 noon.
CHILDREN'S LITURGY
Next Sunday's Children's Liturgy helpers are Yvette Thorpe and Emma Paterson
for the pre-5s, Kerry Scott and Sharon McLaughlin for primaries 1 and 2, Michelle
Morton and Maria Paterson for primary 3 and Andrena Hughes and Lorraine Cullinane
for Primary 4. The Liturgy for Primary 4 restarts on 2 October. Our Liturgy
is run by volunteers on a rota basis. We are in need of some new volunteers
to help us in running the groups. This would be and ideal time to join as
we are having an evening to apply for Disclosure for volunteers as mentioned
below. If you are interested, please contact the Parish Office on 464063 and
leave your name and number. Thanks.
SUNDAY TEAS
Next Sunday's teas will be served by Lynsay Houston’s team.
CHURCH HEATING
The new heating system - with two boilers - is installed. This was an expense
of £10000 we didn’t expect. Any help you can give would be very, very
useful. I will re-issue the brown envelopes. A donation of £20+ - and
gift-aided if you can - would ease the pain. Some fundraising by parish groups
would be a great help.
BISHOP CUNNINGHAM'S GOLDEN JUBILEE
A Mass to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood
of Bishop John Cunningham will be held in Saint Margaret’s Cathedral, Ayr
on Sunday 9 October at 3.00 pm. All are welcome.
HILLHOUSE CARE formerly The Innocents
Hillhouse Care urgently requires a cot and clothes for children between twelve
and sixteen years old. If you can help, please contact Frank Coulter or phone
01294 602179 or 07517 200533. Thanks to all who support us by donating goods
and knitting all year.
SAINT PETER’S SCHOOL PARENT COUNCIL
Saint Peter's School Parent Council is hosting a Ladies' Night with 'The Dressing
Room' in the Parish Centre on Friday 30 September at 7.30 pm. Tickets, costing
£3, are on sale in the school.
SCOTTISH CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL AID FUND (SCIAF)
SCIAF is holding catch-up sessions for anyone interested in finding out more
about its work. You can meet parish volunteers in your diocese and chat to
SCIAF staff about the issues that matter to your parish. For more information,
phone 0141 354 5524, email rlamb@sciaf.org.uk
or visit www.sciaf2.org.uk/parish.
LOURDES WATER
There is some Lourdes Water available at the stall. A suggested donation for
the bottle only is £1.
SOCIAL EVENTS
During the winter months, we need to organise a few social events - for the
fun of it. The sail to Arran and the barbecue were well attended and enjoyed.
We have very heavy expenditure on a new heating boiler for the church and
the eventual painting of the church. Suggestions will always be welcome.
THE NEW MISSAL
A document titled Getting To Know The New Roman Missal can be accessed by
clicking here. You
might find it useful. We begin to use the new translation in September and
the new texts for the prayers and so on will be introduced in Advent. There
will be 'pew cards' available for the start. Please use them and leave them
in the pews. If you wish a pocket or handbag copy they will be available from
the stall. At the beginning, the responses and the (slightly) new versions
of the Gloria and Creed are all that matter. Please God we will get used to
responding “and with your spirit” instead of “and also with you” very soon.
The Readings are not changing but they will conclude with “The Word of the
Lord” instead of “This is the Word of the Lord.”. The new Altar Missal is
ordered. Very soon, Sunday and even Daily Missals will be available to order.
Magnificat will use the new translations as they are introduced.
DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND
A diocesan pilgrimage to the Holy Land, led by Bishop Cunningham, has been
organised for 15 to 22 October 2012. It is expected that this pilgrimage group
will be quite small in number - between 30 and 40 pilgrims - therefore early
booking is recommended. For more information, please see the poster and leaflets
provided. Further details he obtained by contacting Mancunia Travel Limited.
PAPAL BLESSINGS
Papal Blessings for a wedding, wedding anniversary or a special birthday can
be ordered at the stall. The cost of the parchment and postage is about £30.
Please leave plenty of time.

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
