We welcome Niall (Dublin) and Caoimhín (Cweveen) (Kerry) to Glasgow and our Community.
They, like Dónal, have other commitments for the Order and Franciscan Province which means they will occasionally be away from BJDS and Glasgow. Br. Caoimhín is due to be away for a month this year and about 4 months next year on work for the Franciscan Order. During this time, there will be only one active friar priest for ministry in the parish. While Br. Dónal is away mid to 25 September on Franciscan work, Br. Eddie is kindly staying until Dónal's return. It is then that Eddie will unfortunately depart to England
Easter Gift Tree
This year our Parish collected items that went directly to the poor and vulnerable in our city who are afflicted by homelessness.
Double Celebration for the Parish!
There was indeed much cause for celebration this year with two notable dates arrived at in February and March.
