Annually, during the season of Advent, Children's Liturgy Group bring Christmas gifts for distribution to this charity which seeks to help children in crisis both at home and overseas. The gifts which the children bring are distributed by the charity to needy families in the West of Scotland, in time for Christmas. For some children, this may be the only present that they receive, and the charity are always extremely grateful for any gifts that are donated from our Parish. It is appreciated, especially at this time of year, that there are many demands placed upon your generosity. We invite all individuals/families in the Parish who can, to participate in this initiative. You are asked to bring a gift - suitable for a boy or girl (or both) aged between birth and sixteen years of age. The gift should be wrapped and a gift tag placed on the outside stating whether the gift is for a boy/girl or both and the age group the gift is suitable for. The gifts will be taken to the charity at the end of the 10am Mass on Sunday 10th December. Please place your gift in the box in the Church Hall by this date. If you require any further details, please do not hesitate to contact Catherine Senior (email: c.m.senior@talk21.com or 07555-094304) for further information. Many thanks in anticipation of your support.
SUNDAYS at the 10am Mass. Children in their pre-school years of nursery, up to and including children in Primary 4, are eligible to attend. As always at the start of the new session, we are looking for volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering to assist with this special Ministry or wish to find out more about what's involved, please contact Catherine Senior, the Children's Liturgy Co-ordinator (Tel: 07555 094304 or by email: c.m.senior@talk21.com), for further information. Please give serious consideration to this request as we are always searching for new leaders and it is a good way to be involved in our Parish community. It should be noted that anyone working with children in the Parish, must be a PVG scheme member, and it is also mandatory, that volunteers attend child protection training - however, this process can be easily arranged through the Parish/Diocese.
