As you will have heard we are allowed to open our Churches again. There will be a Vigil in Bannockburn at 6.30pm and 10.00am Sunday in Bannockburn and 11.30am in Cowie for Palm Sunday. (27th & 28th March) In order for everyone to get a chance to come to the Church during Holy week you will have to book a place on only one of the following. Holy Thursday 7.00pm Good Friday 3.00pm Easter Vigil 8.30 pm Easter Sunday 10.00am. Sacred Heart Cowie has a separate system and is for the Parishioners of Cowie to enable them to attend Good Friday & Easter Sunday as well. You can book a place by phoning or by E-mail to the Church house. Obviously we are saddened by the fact we can’t attend all of the Easter Tridium but through this system at least everyone will get the chance to be at one service. If you need to get in touch with Fr Kevin just phone as per usual. If anyone is experiencing difficulties with lockdown during this time, please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will do our best to try and resolve your issues. All of our up to date information is on our website and Facebook Page including Mass with Fr Kevin.
