Canon Andrew Clark
On Thursday 1st September at 7 pm we shall celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Canon Andrew’s priestly ordination. This will be followed by a buffet in the hall. All are welcome. If you have any dietary requirements, would you please indicate them on the sheet provided.
Canon Tom would like to offer the chance for folk to contribute towards a gift to Canon Andrew, and so there will be a special collection today at the Sunday Masses.
Social Action Survey
Please hand in your forms by the end of the month
St Fillan’s Memorial Hall
Please consider responding to Canon Tom’s appeal from last week for members of a hall committee.
PPC Meeting
Please note that the next Parish pastoral Council Meeting is on Monday 29th August at 7.30 pm. It is very important that all members try to attend as there will be several important items to discuss.
Camino de Santiago
As announced on the Feast of St James, Canon Tom would like to organise a pilgrimage to Santiago, with perhaps pilgrims walking part of the Camino, and arriving in Santiago de Compostela a day or two before the Feast Day on 25th July 2024 (Thursday that year). The Jubilee Year is in 2025, but perhaps three years is a bit of long wait, and we might consider something else for that year. Would anyone who is interested, please contact Canon Tom in the next couple of weeks? We can then get a rough idea of numbers and look at prices and concrete arrangements before asking for a firm commitment.
