Mass times in other local parishes can be
seen here.
SACRAMENT OF FORGIVENESS
The Sacrament of Forgiveness is available at any suitable time as well as
from 4.30 pm before the Vigil Mass on Saturday evenings.
HOSPITAL
CHAPLAINCY
If a member of your family or a friend is sick, please let us know and give
us the details. Deacon Bill Corbett (01292 521208, 07904 248948, Rev.BillCorbett@btinternet.com)
is the chaplain to Crosshouse Hospital and is assisted by the priest on call
each week. Canon Pat Keegans (01292 263488) is the chaplain to Ayr Hospital
and the Ayrshire Hospice.
FINANCES
Bankers Orders for the Parish and Parish Centre amount to £3800 per
month. Every month, we pay a levy of £1450 to the Diocese. We are grateful
for your generous support in collections. If you can manage a little more
from time to time, it would be a great help. A Standing Order would make the
handling of money so much easier. Have you signed a Gift Aid form? If you
are a taxpayer the Church would get 25p added to every £1 you donate.
COLLECTIONS
Last weekend's Offertory collection amounted to £611.70, Communication
collection to £143.65 and the Day For Life collection to £143.65
- many thanks.
GIFT AID
The Inland Revenue now requires us to use a new style of Gift
Aid form. These are available at the back of the Church and on the parish
website. If you pay tax, please complete the new form and return it to the
box provided. This allows us to provide the additional information required
on the Gift Aid claim. 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.
PARISH RECORDS
Our parish records are covered by the Data Protection Act and are for parish
use only. We cannot give out phone numbers or addresses. Please help us to
keep our records up to date using the cards provided.
READERS
Next weekend's readers are Julie Coldwell at 5.30
pm and Tom Reid at 10.30 am.
ALTAR SERVERS
Next weekend's altar servers are Group 1 at 5.30
pm and Group 4 at 10.30 am.
CHILDREN’S
LITURGY
The
Children's Liturgy is celebrated during the 10.30 am Mass each Sunday. All
children are welcome. Next week's helpers are Jacqueline Waugh and
Morgan Roy for the pre-fives and Claire Sweenie, Linda Martin and
Shannon Simmons for primaries 1, 2 and 3.
SUNDAY
TEAS
Next Sunday's teas will be served by Sadie Gilmour's team.
Would
you consider making a team or joining a team that organises the teas and coffees
after Sunday 10.30 am Mass? If so, please leave your details at the Parish
Office or telephone 01294 464063.
SAINT PETER'S PRIMARY SCHOOL - TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY
On Tuesday 7 June at 10.00 am, there will be Mass in the Church to celebrate
the twentieth anniversary of Saint
Peter's School being in its 'new' building. It is an opportunity
for the pupils and staff to come to Mass. Join them if you can.
PATRICIA BARRY MEMORIAL CONCERT
The Memorial Concert in honour of Miss Patricia Barry, former head teacher
of Saint
Peter's School who died on 6 August 2015, in Saint Peter's Church
was absolutely splendid. This is the first time, I think, we have had children
from every primary school in our cluster together.
SAINT MATTHEW'S ACADEMY - THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Saint
Matthew's Academy, Saltcoats will present The
Sound of Music in the school on Monday 20, Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 June.
Tickets ave available from the Academy.
MARY'S MEALS
Thanks to all the people who donated items for Mary's
Meals Backpack Appeal. We recently sent a further 124 filled backpacks,
making a total of 1628 since we started. We continue to collect all items
listed on the leaflet but are particularly looking for summer shorts, t-shirts,
skirts, dresses, flip-flops and backpacks for children aged between four and
twelve. These can be new or used in good condition. Please put any items you
wish to donate into the blue container in the Church porch and pick up the
2016 magazine to see how the work is progressing. There is also a leaflet
with the full list of items required. Thank you.
SAINT WININ'S PARISH HOLIDAY
Saint Winin's Parish is going on their holiday to Peterhead from Monday 12
to Friday 16 September at the Britannia Waterside Hotel. There will be three
full-day excursions to Fraserburgh, Huntly and Aberdeen city. There will also
be two nights entertainment. The cost is £179 for those sharing and
£199 for a single room. These prices are based on dinner, bed and breakfast.
If you would like to join the group, please call either 554438 or 552276.
Thank you.
BLOOD TRANSFUSION SERVICE
The Blood Transfusion Service will visit the Civic Centre on Tuesday 7 June
between 2.00 and 7.30 pm excluding 4.00 to 5.00 pmand Wednesday 8 June from
4.00 to 7.30 pm.
PILGRIMAGE IN HONOUR OF SAINT MARGARET OF SCOTLAND
A pilgrimage to Dunfermline in honour of Saint Margaret of Scotland will take
place on Sunday 12 June. Full details on poster or at www.StMargaretsDunfermline.co.uk.
CHURCH DOORS
Before another winter hits us, we need to replace the Church doors. The main
doors swell badly in the rain and are impossible to open and shut properly.
Because the Church is an A-Listed building, more durable replacement doors
need to be specially made. This is being done but the total cost of main and
side doors will be over £10000. I need to make an appeal to you for
help. Brown envelopes will be available and any fundraising you can organise
will be extremely useful. Extra in the second collection is a perfect way
of helping. So far, donations total £2483.
DEANERY GET TOGETHER
A Deanery Picnic-Get Together-Fun Day will be held in the grounds of Saint
Bride's Church, West Kilbride on the afternoon of Sunday 5 June at 2.30
pm. The bouncy castle is not compulsory but the picnic is necessary and children
a useful option.
CLOTHING APPEAL IN AID OF CHERNOBYL CHILDREN'S LIFELINE
We will have another group of twelve girls coming from the Ukraine to Ayrshire
in August for four weeks. Some of these children have again been selected
because they either have parents in the military fighting in the East of Ukraine
or they have been displaced due to the war so they all need our help more
than ever. We are looking to make up a bag pack for each child when they arrive
so we need donations of new pyjamas, underwear, socks, leggings, t-shirts,
to fit girls aged between nine and thirteen years. We also need felt pens,
coloured pencils, pencil cases, hair brushes, hair clips, bobbles et cetera.
Any financial help would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for
your continued support of my charity and I hope you get the chance to meet
the children when they visit Saint
John’s Church, Stevenston. If you have anything to donate or would
be interested in finding out more about the charity, please contact Michael
or Lisa Lafferty on 01294 461234 or 07813 650411. Michael
Lafferty
SAINT PADRE PIO INTERCESSORY PRAYER GROUP
The Saint Padre Pio Intercessory Prayer Group, which includes the Chaplet
of Divine Mercy, will start again on Friday 6 May and thereafter on the first
Friday of each month, usually after Mass, from 10.45 to 11.45 am. All are
welcome.
COLLECTION ENVELOPES
New collection envelopes are still available at the stall.
THE SCOTTISH REFORMATION
A series of talks and discussions on the Reformation will be given in Saint
Bride's Church, West Kilbride on Wednesday evenings from 7.30 to 9.00
pm. The remaining date is 22 June. The six speakers, men and women, include
people from both the Reformed and Catholic traditions. If you are interested,
please go along. If you remember, please let Father Boland know on joe-boland@btconnect.com.
Details are on the poster.
PARK CHURCH CONCERT
Park Church Mission Committee is organising a concert on Friday 3 June with
an evening of 50s, 60s, and 70s music performed by Bert McCool and his group
Barbers' News in the church hall. Tickets can be obtained at the door on the
night and are priced at £2.50. Light refreshments are included and the
proceeds will go to Messy Church.

the 10.30 am Mass outwith holidays, there is a Children’s Liturgy provided
for preschool children, children in Primaries 1 to 3 and a Sacramental Programme
for children in Primary 4. After the 10.30 am Mass, tea, coffee cakes and
buns are available in the Parish Centre. At both of our weekend Masses, we

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.
