PARISH's UPDATES 

Newsletter - Sunday 17 January 2021

**Thank you to you all for your continued help and support, cooperation and
understanding with all that we’ve had to contend with! It is much

appreciated.**

Thank you too for the many cards and gifts that I received over Christmas
and for your generosity to me throughout my time in the parish.
Suspension of Public Worship. Due to the current lockdown, it is with
sadness that our public worship must be suspended once more. Mass from
St Margaret’s will be Live Streamed and can be accessed via this link:

Fr. Ronald leaving. My move to Portree, Skye and Fr. Henry’s arrival to St. Margaret’s are
on hold until travel is better. I will keep you informed of any developments.

Collection envelopes. Your financial support to the parish is remarkable, especially during
this difficult time. Since last March, many more of you have set up standing orders to
contribute financially to the parish, therefore I have ordered less collection envelopes for the
coming year as the bulk of parishioners now pay via standing order, which also makes
administration and accounting much easier.
If you would still like a box of envelopes for the new financial year, please let me know and
I will get them to you when they come in.

Parish Council. I will be in touch with Parish Council members soon to arrange a Zoom
meeting to discuss the suggestions received for Parish improvement works.

Thank you for all of the financial support that you have given the parish, particularly throughout  the pandemic.
If you would like to set up a Standing Order with the Parish or make a one-off donation the

Our Charities

Our Charities MOMA have been in touch to say there is still a lot of need at the moment in the local community. Items required are: dried and tinned foods (i.e. tinned meat, tuna, carrots, peas, pasta, rice, tea, coffee, etc.) and toiletries (soap, deodorant, toothbrushes/toothpaste, hand sanitiser, etc..) Anything you can donate would be most welcome and can be left in the MOMA box in St Margaret’s porch.

Apostleship of the Sea – No more contributions at this time. Euan McArthur sent the parish a letter thanking everyone wholeheartedly for your generous donations to the AoS appeal which came to £270 + online donations.

Simon Community – No more contributions at this time.

Thank you for your continuous and generous support of our charitiesOur Charities
