Around the Parishes

Parish News

Tuesday 28th July 2026.  Please read on for a selection of items from this week’s parish newsletters in the Diocese of Dunkeld, offering a snapshot of life around our diocese.

St. Mungo, Alloa

Parish History: as part of this year’s Clackmannanshire Doors Open Weekend events on 27th/28th September we’d like to welcome people into St Mungo’s and share with them some of our Parish history. Do you have fond memories, anecdotes, recollections of days past, any photographs you’d like to share? We’ll take good care of anything submitted & return them to you after the event. If you have anything in a digital format you can send them to StMungosSocialEvents@outlook.com.  If you have any suggestions for the above please get in touch & let us know.

St. Fillan, Crieff

Repository Items: there are a lot of new items in the repository at St Fillan’s. Please take time to browse through the pious articles. If anyone wishes a particular item which is not available, please let Fr. Tobias know and it may be possible to order it. The Readers and Church cleaning rotas are now posted on the wall above the shelves. Thank you.

St. John the Baptist, Perth

Children’s Catechism: we know that some of our children are not attending Catholic schools. This has presented some challenge with them making their Sacraments. We are planning to provide Catechism classes for those in this category. Details will be communicated in the coming weeks.

St. Fergus, Forfar and St. Anthony, Kirriemuir

Parish Pastoral Council: this will be held on 11th August in St Fergus Church, Forfar at 7.00pm.

St. Bride, Monifieth and St. Anne, Carnoustie

Ultimate Quiz: set aside Saturday 22nd August for a great quiz night at 6.30pm (after the Saturday Vigil Mass).  See the masterful Quiz Master John Hackett at his masterful best!!  Tickets at £5 are available from Eleanor or Dawn. Please bring your own tipple and nibbles will be provided.  There is always a raffle so bring along your pennies, and if you could donate some prizes for the raffle that would be tremendous.

SS. Leonard & Fergus, Dundee and St. Columba, Kirkton

Mary’s Meals: grateful appreciation for recent donations which allowed £220 to be forwarded to Mary’s Meals this week for the feeding programme. Thanks also for donations of foreign & out-of-date coins & notes. The package was collected this week & we’ll be informed of the current value in due course. Many, many thanks for your continuing support.
