Pope Francis is Calling us to be part of a Sustainable Future. In his encyclical, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis calls us all, our families and our community, to make our encounter with Jesus evident in our relationship with the world. He calls us toward sustainability . . . to care for each other, our Creator, and all creation and to build a better future together (Laudato Si’ 13). You are being invited to be part of that future within our parish community. Find out more at the Laudato Si action platform: laudatosiactionplatform.org. An initial meeting will be held to discuss how our Parish might answer this call.
Date: Wednesday 15th June Time: 7.30pm Venue: St Margaret’s Church Hall
Special Collection: Survive-Miva 12th June (Missionary Vehicle Association)

Survive-Miva is a Catholic lay Association providing funding for essential transport in the developing world for health outreach work in isolated rural areas, and for the Church’s pastoral care in places of difficult access.
Retreats at Kinnoull Hill Monastery
There a number of planned events scheduled. See the Church Notice Boards for details or enquire via the Parish Office.
Visiting Clergy A message from Fr Allan Chambers: Given the freedom to travel which is now available to us, now is a good time to be reminded that priests who visit the Archdiocese to minister to the people, in any capacity and for any length of time, must provide a current Celebret and Testimonial Letter to the Chancery Office before their arrival. Even if they are repeat visitors and are well known, this documentation is needed to ensure that the Archdiocese has carried out the necessary checks to ensure our visitors remain in good standing with their respective Ordinaries. If safeguarding training or PVG clearance is required, the documentation will be passed from Chancery to Safeguarding but our first obligation is to ensure visiting Priests have provided evidence of their current suitability. Visiting Clergy who will be in the Archdiocese for less than two weeks will always need to provide their Celebret and Testimonial Letter, but will only need safeguarding documents if they are repeat visitors.
Please email items to be included in the Newsletter to [email protected] latest by 12 noon on Wednesday.

Queen’s Jubilee Celebration
Archbishop Leo will celebrate a special Mass of Thanksgiving at midday on Sunday 5th June at St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen. This will be a lovely and joyful celebration and will finish with a champagne reception after the Mass. All are welcome.
Vocations Mass
The monthly Mass for Vocations takes place at 6:30pm on Monday 6th June at Sacred Heart Church, 56 John Street, Penicuik, EH26 8NE. Please come along and pray that more young people in our Archdiocese respond to God’s call to the priesthood or religious life.
Corpus Christi Procession As part of the Eucharistic renewal in the Archdiocese this liturgical year, you are invited to take part in a Corpus Christi procession, led by Archbishop Cushley, at St Francis Xavier’s in Falkirk on Sunday 19th June at 3pm. Gather at the Bandstand in High Street (FK1 1YD) before processing to St Francis Xavier’s Parish (around 20 min walk). This is a major event for the Archdiocese and should be a beautiful and prayerful experience (as well as a chance to be a witness to the Eucharistic Christ in public).
