Parish Priest: Fr. Duncan M Adamson
Parish Administrator: Nicola Burke
Fr. Duncan writes: This week we begin the Ordinary Sundays of the Year. It is in these ‘ordinary’ Sundays that we journey with Jesus as he travels around preaching and teaching his people, each one of us. This year we shall be reading from the gospel of St Luke, a gospel of gentleness and compassion, although we begin today with a passage from the Gospel of St John. Throughout Luke’s gospel we see evidence of his sensitivity and tolerance together with a deep awareness of the work of the Holy Spirit. ____________________________________________________________________________
The Sacrament of Confirmation
Bishop Alan Hopes will be coming to our parish to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation on 3rd July this year. If there are any young people from our parish, in Year 9 or above, who wish to be confirmed this year, they should write to Fr. Duncan now. Their letter should include name, address, telephone number, date of birth, school attended and reason for wishing to receive this Sacrament. The application list closes on 31st January. The young people themselves should be thinking about this Sacrament, and so they should write the letter themselves.

She has been overwhelmed by your kindness. Pat is recovering at home and hopes to be back soon. She has offered Holy Mass for all your intentions.
Church Heating
Just before Christmas one of the boilers in the church stopped working which meant that we were on half power for a couple of weeks. Because of this, and the extreme cold weather, it took longer to bring the church up to a reasonable temperature. The boiler has now been repaired and so both boilers are now working. The filters in fan heaters around the church are being cleaned to ensure they are working efficiently.
