Sacrament Dates, Meetings & Classes

All parents/Guardians of those children preparing for and due to celebrate the Sacraments of Confirmation, Reconciliation, and First Eucharist, should have received letters from both parish and St Francis Primary School along with dates of parish preparations and celebrations for each appropriate Sacrament.

If for any reason a parent/Guardian of a child due for such a Sacrament has not received such information (especially if not at St Francis Primary  school or attending a non-Catholic school), please contact Fr. Dónal or Fr. Caoimhín by phone or email info@blessedjohndunsscotusparish.org.

The Parish Preparation Sessions can be viewed here and are obligatory and to be attended by child and parent/guardian prior to reception and celebration of each Sacrament.

Tommy Traynor RIP

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Tommy Traynor. A tireless, committed man of faith who found his spiritual home with the Franciscans in the Gorbals. He will be greatly missed by us all.

Tommy died peacefully at 5pm on Wednesday 14th May. His funeral will be on Wednesday 28th May with burial at the Linn Cemetery thereafter.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends whilst also giving thanks for his enormous contributions to our parish and in particular his devotion to St Antony's Novena as well as his services at masses and funerals over many years.

May he rest in peace.
