SCIAF & Papal & Episcopal & St. Mirin’s Fund - 14 March 2021
The proceeds of this collection are divided 75% to SCIAF and 25% to our new St Mirin’s Fund. SCIAF is the official aid and international development charity of the Catholic Church in Scotland. It works in sixteen countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America to help the poorest in the world, regardless of religion, to work their way out of poverty. The St. Mirin’s Fund awards small grants for good causes that promote the Kingdom of God among us, with special consideration to: children and young people, the elderly, those with disabilities and special needs, or suffering from poverty, mental illness, homelessness or refugees. In 2018 this collection raised £28,013, which represents 110% of our expenditure of £25,389 resulting in a small fund surplus of £2,624. The Papal & Episcopal Fund also contributed £15,000 from reserves to the SPRED Fund.

COP 26 - NOVEMBER 2021 - GLASGOW
Climate Petition: 2021
Scotland’s official Catholic Aid Agency is launching an appeal to parishioners to sign a petition to the Prime Minister ahead of the COP26 climate change conference to be held in Glasgow in November, at which Pope Francis is expected to participate.
SCIAF point out that with climate change already having a devastating impact on the world's poorest communities, time is running out.
Parishioners are asked to write to the PM urging him to do three things:
*Pay to protect the poorest communities - Make sure financial support is given to those impacted by climate change so they can adapt and recover.
*Act now to stop runaway climate change - Make sure world leaders commit to keeping rises in global temperatures below the disastrous 1.5°C threshold.
*Listen to those on the frontline of the climate crisis - Make sure that people worst affected by the crisis are at the heart of the climate talks.
