Pope Francis has asked us to become involved in our parish communities in a Year of Prayer activity in 2025. We plan to hold a series of community events during the Lenten period. It will be a seminar/study of our most commonly used prayer, “The Lord’s Prayer”. We plan four evening sessions of approx 90 minutes each in our chapel. It will be based on a recent globally successful “Catechism in a Year” podcast programme by Fr Mike Schmitz from Minnesota.
WEE BOX Appeal
On Ash Wednesday, SCIAF launched the WEE BOX, BIG Change Appeal. This year’s Lent Appeal focuses on Colombia, where violence lurks around every corner, displacing families, forcing children into crime, and leaving communities dominated by armed gangs. In Chocó, the poorest region, people face conflict, poverty, and isolation and feel forgotten by the world. This Lent, in this Jubilee year, let’s give in hope and use your WEE BOX to make a BIG CHANGE. To find out more, please visit sciaf.org.uk/weebox or call 0141 354 5555. You can pick up a WEE BOX for your family in our church.
Readers’ Workshop
Prior to the introduction of the New Lectionary, an evening session for readers was held at the Parish Hall in Inverurie. This session was recorded to ensure that those who could not attend due to bad weather or other commitments would still have access to the information shared.
WhatsApp Parish Channel
Unpredictable events can get in the way, like challenging weather or tricky road conditions striking unexpectedly. I suggest subscribing to the parish WhatsApp channel if you use the WhatsApp app. It’s a one-way communication tool used to make short-notice and last-minute announcements. You will remain anonymous.
