NATIONAL PILGRIMAGE TO CARFIN 2017 IN HONOUR OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA On SUNDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER 2017

Our Pilgrimage this year takes place during th 100th anniversary year of the apparitions of Our Blessed Lady at Fatima. We welcome the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima and consecrate our country, Scotland to the Immaculate Heart of Mary during the National Pilgrimage.

The Pilgrimage mass will be celebrated within the grotto at 3pm with Archbishop Philip Tartaglia as Principle celebrant with Bishop Brian McGee of Argyll & the Isles as the Homilist. The Motherwell Diocesan Choir will provide the music for the liturgy as in other years.

At the end of September we’ll have our annual Mary’s Meals weekend with speakers from the charity, collection of used clothes etc and sale of annual raffle tickets. So if your updating your wardrobe for the holi-days and want to put your old clothes to good use keep them and bring to the church hall on our collection day at the end of September...

There are many ways to help by donating your time, money, skills and prayers.

£13.90 is all it costs to feed a child for a whole school year.

In Haiti, our amazing volunteers serve Marys Meals to almost 37,000 hungry children every school day… That’s a lot of rice and beans!

For every £1 you give, 93p is spent directly on our charitable activities. More information at :

www.marysmeals.org.uk/

Mary's Meals feeds nearly ONE AND A QUARTER MILLION

of the world’s poorest children every day they

attend school.

Please take a jar from the back of the church to collect spare coins for Brazil . This money helps small projects that get very little and often no other support.

"Go therefore, make disciples of all nations, baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you".

Dunkeld - Scottish Catholic Grandparents Association Dear Grandparents of Dunkeld Diocese, This is both an invitation and an information message. I hope you have all been getting updates from the Global CGA in Ireland. If not please let me know. I am only able to send this message out to all of those with email. So please pass this information on to those in your parish who are not email registered with the CGA.

Bishop Stephen is giving me more time at present to work on the Grandparents Association. I am now the Scottish National Representative of the CGA. This means I am also in touch with other Diocese as well regarding the establish-ment of the CGA in Scotland.

I have written short articles for the Edinburgh and Glasgow Dioceses magazines recently. They are now beginning to show some interest. So I am getting busier with this.

We need to get the Parish groups going by meeting on a monthly basis at least. I can’t be at all the parish meetings so please do all you can to get your parish meeting started. Dunblane have done this themselves very well right from the launch two years ago. I recently held the first meeting in Our Lady of Sorrows/ St. Pius Parish and I will be back there for two more meetings and hopefully the group will carry this on. If your parish is currently holding meetings please keep me in touch on your progress….. Included in this email are two poster invitations.

First is the National Pilgrimage to Carfin on the Sunday 20th August from 2.30 to5.30. I have sent out posters to the Parishes and to the Diocese of Scotland. If you can make it do please come along to this wonderful place of Pilgrimage. Bishop Stephen will be chief Celebrant at the Mass.

Second is a day of reflection at St, Joseph’s Retreat Centre at Lawside. This will be on the Saturday 23rd September. From 10am -3pm. Bring a packed lunch. I am delighted to tell you that Catherine Wiley, the Founder of the Catholic Grandparents Association will be the Main Speaker at this event. She is currently in USA and will be travelling over for this event. I advise everyone who wishes to come along, to book early for this as space will be limited. Details on how/where to book are on the relevant poster. This email is the first publication of the Dunkeld event.

Last bit of info is I will be away on Holiday from Monday for two weeks so please contact Diocese reception for further information or to book the September event.

Blessings to all. Rev. Ronald Wylie, Deacon.( Scottish National Representative - Catholic Grandparents Association)
