21st Sunday of the Year - Year A

Sunday 23rd August 2020

Please continue to sign in for Sunday Masses on a weekly basis preferably by email on

catholic126@gmail.com. When booking, please say which Mass you would like to attend. It

would also be helpful if you could give your name, address, phone number and email address

each time you book. If you do not have email you could ask a grandchild, friend or neighbour

to email on your behalf. If you can’t email, please phone on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday

between 10.00am and 12noon. Weekday Masses only require signing in at the back of the

church.

The Sacramental Celebration to welcome the adults and children into the Catholic Church is

scheduled for Sunday 30 August at 2.00pm in St Peter’s (PLEASE NOTE THE NEW TIME AND

VENUE). Unfortunately, this can’t be a public event because of numbers, however, we ask

your prayers for Kyle, Sam, Sandie, Reece, Stephen, Olivia, Alex and Gabiya who will all

become full members of the Church at this celebration.

St Peter’s Sunday Masses are now reverting to the usual times ie. 9.30am and 5.30pm. It has

been really great to welcome so many people back to Mass because of the outdoor Mass,

however, the weather is so unpredictable we will leave the 3.00pm Mass for now.

Anyone who is interested in paying their weekly Mass offering online should contact Clare in

the parish office who will be happy to provide bank account details for your parish.

New Dawn in Scotland Virtual Conference on Youtube from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th

August 2020. For more information and the link to Youtube and Facebook, please access the

link via the website www.newdawninscotland.com - Come and see the New Dawn in Scotland

11th annual conference (virtual). All welcome.

If anyone is interested in joining the Catholic Church, please speak to one of the priests or

email the parish office (catholic126@gmail.com). We don’t think the RCIA programme will

start soon but it would be good to know who is interested.

Of your charity please pray for the repose of the soul of: Andrew Graham, John Currie

DRODZY, po wakacyjnej przerwie wracam do Was przez moje medytacje i razem z Izajaszem mówiącym o Dawidzie i zapowiadającym Mesjasza – chce zacząć od zawołania JEZU UFAM TOBIE i z 1 czytania wybrać zdanie, które pokazuje PEWNOŚĆ PŁYNĄCĄ Z NASZEJ WIARY: Wbiję go jak kołek na miejscu pewnym; i stanie się on tronem chwały. Wraz z psalmistą chcemy mówić razem na naszych liturgiach Panie, Twa łaska trwa po wszystkie wieki. Z listu do Rzymian warto przemyśleć słowa: Jakże niezbadane są wyroki [Pana] i nie do wyśledzenia Jego drogi! (…) Albowiem z Niego i przez Niego, i dla Niego jest wszystko. Jemu chwała na wieki! Amen. Ewangelia to wyznanie wiary Piotra: Ty jesteś Mesjasz, Syn Boga żywego i błogosławieństwo Jezusa: Ty jesteś Piotr, czyli Opoka, i na tej opoce zbuduję Kościół mój, a bramy piekielne go nie przemogą. I tobie dam klucze królestwa niebieskiego. We wspólnotach wiary Miłosierny Ojciec objawia nam Jezusa - Mesjasza. Wszystko jest łaską, wszystko jest darem, więc dziękujmy za wiarę i przybywajmy na msze wspólnotowe, rejestrując się pod: zostawznak2020@gmail.com. W każdej innej sprawie piszcie pod email: katolicylivingston@gmail.com z wdzięcznością za modlitwy i z modlitwą za Was – ks. Piotr

W tę niedzielę jako Polska wspólnota żegnamy ks. Johna z Ghany; proszę napiszcie mu osobiste podziękowania na Jego email - johnsemnanke@yahoo.com A On oczekuje nas w Ghanie, Afryka
