Great work from S6 Caritas pupils @St_Rochs who created a green screen video explaining the meaning of Lent. ✝️ A reminder that Lent is a time for prayer 🙏🏼 , fasting 🐟 and almsgiving 💰, helping us grow closer to God as we prepare our hearts for Easter. @rercag@TeachersofRME
@PaulHCostello1@StRochRE@ArchdiocGlasgow@St_Rochs He was the greatest priest I've had the honour of having, I was very lucky to once or twice alter serve for him, although quite the challenge to stay serious as he was hilarious each time 🤣 but the humour aside deep down was a loving devoted man and I know he's with the Lord now
@PaulHCostello1@StRochRE@ArchdiocGlasgow@St_Rochs Can't believe I'm hearing this, I was fortunate to have him as a parish priest for almost all my life till this point, to hear that he has passed is really saddening. RIP 🙏. Prayers to you Paul, I know this won't come easy to you, wishing you the best 🙏
Today we celebrate the First Sunday of #Advent, a season of hope and new beginnings. Advent Morning Prayer will be held in the oratory tomorrow at 8:30am, to help us reflect & prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming. 🙏🕯️✝️💜 @St_Rochs
Thank you to all staff & pupils @St_Rochs who joined us for today’s Mass of Remembrance - some pictured below with Fr Gareth. A special thanks to our readers and to everyone who took time to complete November Lists, remembering and praying for their deceased loved ones. 🕯️🙏 @rercag
I was deeply saddened to learn of the kidnapping of priests, faithful, and students in Nigeria and Cameroon. I feel great pain, above all for the many young men and women who have been abducted and for their distressed families. I make a heartfelt appeal for the immediate release of the hostages and urge the competent authorities to take appropriate and timely decisions to ensure their release. Let us #PrayTogether for these brothers and sisters of ours, and that churches and schools may always and everywhere remain places of safety and hope.
Happy 100th birthday to Mother Mary of the Resurrection, who is based at Dysart Carmel in Fife. She received an apostolic blessing from Pope Leo and Archbishop Leo travelled to Dysart to celebrate Mass. Her fellow sisters said: “We thank God for her spirit of prayer, her fidelity to her vocation, and her unfailing cheerfulness.”
Today, in the oratory, we held a special Latin rosary. Today was the Glorious Mysteries. Myself, John, and Vice-Captain Callum all took part in setting up and delivering the service. Thanks to those who came (even though you may not have understood Latin). @StRochRE . God bless.
A few more pictures from the service (all with consent and permission). @Pontifex urges us to pray the rosary so that there may be peace in the world. God will provide, and we will be comforted, Matthew 5:4. Death will be no more, and agony will be taken away, Revelations 21:4.
