Thank you to Knights of St Columba

The Knights of St Columba in Barrhead held a fundraising quiz night last Friday and kindly donated £210 to support our pro-life work. May God bless them in all that they do.

Thanks for Prayers

Sr Andrea would like to thank everyone for their prayers. Last weeks Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat was beautiful, and participants responded very well. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they continue their journey of healing.

Thanks to Scots College!

Big thanks to the Seminarians at the Scot’s College in Rome, who raised over €2000 for the Cardinal Winning Pro-Life Initiative, at their annual quiz night! We are so grateful for their support and several of them have also volunteered with us before going to Seminary. May God bless them.

Thank You for Donation

Thank you to the Knights of St Columba Council 396 who presented us with a cheque for £250 at last week’s Pro-Life Mass.

Ladies’ Lunch – thank you ladies!

Thank you to all the pro-life women who came to our ladies’ lunch on Saturday, in honour of St Margaret of Scotland. We know how much work you have done for the pro-life cause over the years. It was great to have such a big gathering (436 women) and was a very encouraging and enjoyable afternoon. We will be in touch with you all soon. Here’s a video to remember the occasion:

 

Thank you for a beautiful donation

We recently received a lovely layette from the Our Lady, Mother and Queen Rosary Group.

As you can see from the pictures it was all beautifully wrapped up and I promise when I finished taking the pictures I reassembled it back to its former glory. I just wanted to share the beautiful contents and all the love and care which had gone into producing such a beautiful gift.

Thank you to all involved.

Sr Roseann

How your donations and support have helped

Thanks so much for all your support. Over the months of May and June, your donations have been used to support 73 vulnerable families. We have had phone calls from many women in crisis pregnancies needing support. We also had a successful Rachel’s Vineyard retreat, for those suffering after abortion, with 12 participants. We hope to start up a new team in the Dundee area to run Rachel’s Vineyard retreats there too.

We have been blessed to have many individuals coming to the door to donate baby equipment they are no longer in need of. The Amazon wish list, in June, was a big success and we had all of the items we wanted donated! We have had a great response to our appeal for toys this month- thanks to your generosity we have enough toys for the moment and will once again be able to respond to toy requests.

The Knights of St Columba have been brilliant in providing practical support to us- a group from the University came to check, clean and pack cots to be given out. Brian Henry brought a group of Knights to paint the doors of the Cardinal Winning Pro-Life Initiative building.

And of course we are ever grateful to our regular volunteers who come to sort through all the donations and make up packs of clothes and toiletries to give out to those in need.

In terms of what we need now, we are well stocked with donations of items and clothing to be sorted through.

If anyone is going to IKEA, please buy some of those big blue bags for us- we use these to package clothing that we give out.

Flowers Received

We were delighted to receive a beautiful bunch of flowers, with chocolates and a card, from a Mum we helped some years ago. Thank you!

Knights of St Columba Help

Thanks to 3 volunteers from the University cell of the Knights of St Columba who came over last week to help us check, clean and assemble cots to be given to families we help. The Knights of St Columba are always supportive of us and we enjoy seeing them at our monthly Pro-Life Masses.
