A THANK YOU FROM SCIAF

Thank you for your generosity and kindness!

This year schools across Scotland helped raise more than £180,000 for our WEE BOX Big Change appeal – thank you so much! These donations will help change the lives of people living in poverty and those devastated by conflict and natural disasters.Our appeal was boosted by UK Aid Match funding from the UK Government, which meant that every pound was doubled.

Lord Bates of the Department for International Development (DFID) visited Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral Primary School in Motherwell for the big reveal of the final total.

Schools, parishes and people throughout Scotland raised a fantastic £1,663,918, and with Aid Match that was doubled to £3,198,056.

Thank you one and all for supporting the WEE BOX in 2018.

 

Thanks for your continued support,

Elaine McGinlay and Mark Booker – Schools and Education Officers

Catholic Education Week Celebration Mass – Sunday 25 November at 12pm

Mass to celebrate Catholic Education Week will be held in St. John’s Parish Church at 12 noon on Sunday 25th November.  Everyone is welcome to attend.

We would hope to see as many St. Mark’s Primary pupils as possible at this event.  If your child is going to be celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion or Confirmation in the upcoming months, this is a special time in your child’s faith journey and will be a great opportunity for you and your child to reflect on your relationship with God.

We look forward to seeing you there.  Full school uniform should be worn.

Yours sincerely,

Natalie Fitzsimmons
Head Teacher

Polish Independence Day 11.11.2018

A hundred years ago Poland regained independence. In 1918, World War I was over and our country was free at last after 123 years of geo-political oblivion. In 2018, we are proud to join the Polish Government and Polish people around the world in commemorating the 100th anniversary of Poland becoming an independent European country (11.11.2018).
