This going to be the strangest Easter Season ever. You are encouraged to join with me in spirit during this holy season. It doesn't look as though there are to be any changes soon, but I understand that discussions are ongoing.

TIMES OF MASSES IN BRORA

CORONAVIRUS!

 

According to the Government’s rules and the decision of the Scottish Bishops all public celebrations of the Mass including Baptisms and Weddings are suspended until further notice.

 Funerals are permitted only at the graveside or at the crematorium and only for immediate family.

Priests will continue to offer mass in private normally in the house.

In the meantime the church is to remain locked.

I am in the High Risk Category: I will be self-isolating for the next month.

The monthly Gift Aid amount paid directly to the parish account is £300.  At the moment because the church is closed this is our only Offertory Income. I was asked to prepare an interim budget for this present lockdown crisis. The shortfall between now and June is of the order of several thousand pounds. If you are a taxpayer please consider giving your Mass Offering by Gift Aid and if possible by direct payment into the Parish account (most people do this monthly), as the parish greatly benefits from the tax repaid.  Thank you to those who Gift Aid.  Forms are available from Christine Port who is the Gift Aid co-ordinator.

 

The Peter's Pence Collection has been deferred until October.
