Afterwards there will be pizza in the hall for all the youth of the parish to join together whether they are in the youth group or not. This will conclude at 6.30 after which time the youth group will have their usual meeting until 8pm. You are all very welcome to join us as this will be the normal Sunday Mass and a joyful celebration but we would like to extend an extra warm welcome to as many of our young people as possible to come along. We hope to see you there.

Holy See Press Office Communiqué, 29.09.2018
The Holy Father has decided to invite all the faithful, of all the world, to pray the Holy Rosary every day, during the entire Marian month of October, and thus to join in communion and in penitence, as the people of God, in asking the Holy Mother of God and Saint Michael Archangel to protect the Church from the devil, who always seeks to separate us from God and from each other. He invites us also to conclude recitation of the rosary with the ancient invocation “Sub tuum praesidum = ‘We fly to thy protection” and “Prayer to Saint Michael Archangel”

This will be screened on 22nd October in St Helen’s Langside church hall. Time: 7pm Rosary, 7.30pm film.
