WE TAKE GREAT CARE OVER YOUR SAFETY AND WE HAVE ENDEAVOURED TO MAKE AVAILABLE SEATING FOR ALL OUR REGULAR PARISHIONERS.. IT IS SAFE AS ANYWHERE THESE DAYS.

THERE IS HOWEVER ONE AREA THAT IS OF CONCERN - THAT OF FINANCE.  IF YOU ONLY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR PARISH WHEN YOU COME AND BY CASH DONATION: IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THE CHURCH. INSURANCE, FOOD BILLS, MONTHLY COUNCIL TAX ALONE IS MORE THAT A WHOLE SUNDAY'S COLLECTION.

PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING TO THE PARISH BY STANDING ORDER.  WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BANK DETAILS.  MANY THANKS TO THOSE WHO ALREADY DO SO.  IF YOU ARE A TAX PAYER YOU CAN GIFT AID TO THE PARISH AT NO COST TO YOURSELF.

You will have to wait outside untill shown to a seat.  Numbers are restricted so come early.

You must observe the current social distancing of 2 metres and come to communion one by one.

The toilets should only be used in an emergency..

There is no singing.                                             Fr Derick

The Parish appeal to raise funds for repairs and maintenance to the Church and Presbytery has now reached our £20,000 target. Thank you to those who have answered our Appeal.  The Appeal is still open for further donations for a new heating boiler.

I have been asked to advertise the part-time post of Diocesan Singing Tutor.

This is a new part-time (3 days per week) suitable for an ambitious and creative musician with exceptional gifts working with young voices and a desire to achieve the highest possible standards.

With a strong interest in promoting Catholic music, our Singing Tutor will provide inspirational teaching in the development of school choirs.  These, in time, will have the capacity to sing in local churches.

The schools involved are St Joseph's, Inverness, St Sylvester's, Elgin, St Thomas's, Keith and St Peter's, Buckie.

Closing date is Monday 14th June.

Interviews will be held on Thursday 24 June in Aberdeen.

For further information and an application form visit www.rcda.scot.

Please pray for our Seminarians: Christopher Doig, Malachy Eze and Aiden Matheson.

The World Day of Prayer in Brora has been postponed until the summer.
