John the Baptist Uddingston supporting Mary’s Meals
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.

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.
