SVDP Dates for your diary There will be a Mass for the sick on Sunday 16th October at 2pm. Tea & cakes etc will be served in the hall afterwards. Volunteers as usual will be needed on the day. There are volunteer sheets at the back of the Church Pease state what you can help with. SOUL SISTERS We feel it is now as safe covid wise as it will ever be so are having a meeting on Thursday 27th October at 7pm in the hall. All ladies are welcome we look forward to seeing you all again. Oppose Assisted Suicide Care Not Killing (CNK), supported by the Catholic Parliamentary Office, has launched a petition which aims to stop plans to legalise assisted suicide. This bill risks undermining the provision of palliative care and efforts to prevent suicide. It may make the most vulnerable people, including the elderly and disabled, feel like a burden. The current law is the safeguard - it prohibits assisting someone’s suicide and/or killing them by euthanasia, but the new law will eliminate this safeguard. The state ought to support the provision of care, not deliberate killing. Please sign the petition at church today. Alternatively, sign online at www.carenotkilling.scot Talk with Archbishop Cushley The Edinburgh Jesuit Centre at Sacred Heart Parish in Lauriston, Edinburgh, is hosting a series of conversations with people who work at the interface of faith and politics. On Wednesday 12 October at 7pm, Fr Adrian Porter SJ will be in conversation with Archbishop Leo Cushley about the work and influence of the diplomatic service of the Holy See. More at edinburghjesuit.org.uk/ejc All Souls’ Day Archbishop Cushley will offer Holy Mass for the repose of all the faithful departed who have died in the Archdiocese in the last year, especially those buried at Mount Vernon Cemetery. This will take place at 10am on Wednesday 2 November (All Souls' Day) in the Mount Vernon Cemetery Chapel.
