A beautiful and fitting send off for the ‘Boss Man’ this morning. Always grateful for the opportunities he gave me and feeling devastated for his family today. Rest in Peace, Andrew.

John the Baptist lived his life proclaiming Christ's coming and preparing the way for him. We're invited to do the same this Advent, to prepare a way for the Lord, to seek to grow closer to him in our own lives, and to help those most in need of God to see him in their lives.

Our fabulous S6 Barista Team have raised £140 for SCIAF Real Gifts through sales at Parents’ Evenings over the last few months. Pupils have selected to buy a cow and a mobile medical centre as gifts

Thanks to the St John's, Stevenston Synod group for inviting our #caritas pupils to share their thoughts and understanding of the church today. "Synodality is an expression of the Church’s nature, her form, style, and mission." Pope Francis

Well done to the second group to head out to the Wayside Club in Glasgow. Thanks to Miss Hendry as well!

[St Matthew's RE Dept @StMattsRE]

Matthew was called to be with Jesus, even though he didn't fit in, he antagonised his own people, and was despised by so many. Jesus chose the right person.

Information for those going on the Diocesan youth pilgrimage tomorrow.

[St Matthew's RE Dept @StMattsRE]

A belated well done to this tremendous trio! A brilliant way to start your #Caritas year

During the summer myself, anna and maxine decided to raise money for SCIAF by doing a sponsered cycle. We have raised £219 and cycled 12 miles.
Thank you to everyone who supported us and donated to us, it is massively appreciated!!
