If anyone else is interested in learning more, they are invited to attend the next session in the Church Hall on Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm. The point of contact is Bill Millar or the parish priest. The next session will be on 1st July at 6.30pm. Moving forward, the catechism session will take place once a month.
Our Lady Star of the Sea, Tayport
A big ‘Thank you’ is due to the ‘Tayport Garden Angels’, who have been doing sterling work in the car park and borders at Our Lady, Star of the Sea. Their efforts have contributed massively to making the church and its grounds feel welcoming and loved.
St Fillan, Newport-on-Tay
All welcome to stay after Sunday Mass at St Fillan’s for coffee/tea and a chance to chat with fellow parishioners. Volunteers to join the rota are always welcome. If you would like to help occasionally, please talk to one of the team at the back of the church. Donations are always welcome and will keep this channel of communication open.
Listed Places of Worship Scheme
The UK-wide Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme has closed, and the replacement fund applies only in England. For many parishes and dioceses in Scotland, this means essential repairs and improvement projects for listed church buildings will become more expensive, placing further pressure on already stretched budgets. You are encouraged to write to your MSPs to ask for clarity on support in Scotland and to back a practical Scottish funding route.
