OFFERTORY

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 £274.44
- 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
Gift Aid is a vital source of income. All that is needed is that you pay tax.
You simply declare that you give funds to the Church. We do the rest. Why
not sign a form today? We get back an extra 25p for every £1 you give
the Church in your weekly collection or by way of a donation. There is no
need to cancel or renew it. We simply claim in the income we receive.
WILLS
Would you consider remembering Saint Peter's in your will?
CHURCH REPAIRS
The help you give for Church repairs by dropping in a white envelope from
time to time is invaluable. We are in the process of getting estimates for
the painting of the Church. Recent donations of £120 bring the total
to £4064.50.
READERS

pm, Robert Cooper at 10.00 am and Alfie Agostini

FEAST OF ALL SAINTS
Thursday 1 November is All Saints Day. It is a Holyday of Obligation. Mass
will be celebrated on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7.00 pm and Thursday
at 10.00 am.
CHRISTMAS GREETINGS
Instead of local Christmas cards this year, would you be interested in taking
a 'greetings square' in a supplement to the Sunday Bulletin? A sample is available
at the stall. In exchange for a donation to Church funds, we could publish
your greetings to friends in the parish. We could take about sixty and would
publish it for two weeks before Christmas. Envelopes for your message and
a donation are available at the stall.
SUNDAY MASS TIMES
The
letter below explains why we need to make changes to the Mass times in each
of the local parishes. For us, the partnership with Saltcoats, Stevenston,
and Kilwinning is the most obvious arrangement. The Mass times have to reflect
a smaller number of priests and a drop in Mass attendance on a regular basis,
while safeguarding each individual parish. Times require to enable one priest
to cover for another. We have tried to keep the changes to a minimum but they
are necessary and they may cause you a bit of inconvenience at first. Please
try to adapt and please do your best to celebrate Mass in your own parish
if possible. Revised Mass times in each parish will be announced next weekend.
