Mary’s Meals provides daily meals to chronically hungry children in their local school. In this way the hungry child is encouraged to attend school and, through education gain a better future for himself and his communities.

The group meets on Tuesday evening, twice per month, to pray for the work of the charity and to discuss how we as a parish can provide best support. The group is also active in helping to coordinate fund raising efforts within the parish.

If you are interested in becoming involved then please look out for the notices in the parish bulletin for further information or contact Elizabeth Murphy elizmurphy@hotmail.co.uk. Within the parish we have a group who help to provide the focus for our support of the charity Scottish International Relief and, more specifically, their Mary’s Meals school feeding program.

R.C.I.A. was introduced into the parish in September 1991 and for the past 20 years has instructed over 40 adults interested in knowing more about the Catholic Faith and has given them the experience of the Catholic way of life. The Parish Team consists of four parishioners led by parish priest Father Towey. Those who prepare to be received into the Catholic Church through R.C.I.A. come from many walks of life and their ages range from “teens” to “seniors”. Meetings for prospective candidates take place in the church every Tuesday at 7.30pm from September until Easter. When candidates are ready to make a commitment to the Catholic Faith they are received into the Church community during the Easter Vigil celebrations.
