Opening St Fillan’s for Private Prayer

We are delighted to announce that starting from Monday 13th September, St Fillan’s

will once again be open for private prayer from after the morning mass until

about 4 pm.

If coming to pray, please sanitise your hands, wear a face mask, and use a wipe to clean where you have sat.

Children’s Mass and Celebrating Community

Today we welcome children and families in a special way to our 11 am mass.

Deacon Malcolm and the children will be leading us in our celebration today.

Please come and join us afterwards for refreshments in the Hall.

If you would like to help organise the Children’s Mass, please contact Canon Tom.

The commitment is a meeting once a month to prepare, and then being there at the mass itself.

Welcomers and Cleaners

We all owe a great debt of gratitude to those who have welcomed others and cleaned the churches over the last year.

We now need more cleaners and welcomers, especially in St Fillan’s, to minister in

the months ahead.

All who are affected directly by the Coronavirus outbreak, our healthcare and care workers, emergency services, and civil officials.

And for the repose of the souls of Andrew Gilfillan and all the faithful departed.

Attending mass in person
