Our members put in requests for a variety of delicious breakfast foods – so far we have had toast, fruit, fruit juice, bagels, thins, and, rolls and bacon. The next few weeks we will be having french toast and scrambled eggs.
We have also purchased a copy of “Elf” to play before Christmas – exciting times.
Theme: 5 Reasons to Pray for the Souls in Purgatory
“Purgatory shows God’s great mercy and washes away the defects of those who long to become one with Him.” – St. Josemaria Escriva
Reflections taken from an article, “The Forgotten Church: 5 Reasons to Pray for the Souls in Purgatory” written by Sam Guzman and published on the website The Catholic Gentleman on 3rd November 2014.
When is the last time you prayed for the Holy Souls?
It is the teaching of the Church that purgatory is real and that there are countless souls there in need of our prayers.
We are urged to pray for the Church and for the relief of our brothers and sisters in purgatory.
This week in RE pupils will be encouraged to fill in their own ‘November List’ for the school book of remembrance, remembering deceased members of their family and friends.

Good Luck.
On Friday, four S1 pupils took part in the final of the Scottish Food and Drinks Federation’s “One Pot Dish” competition. The final was held in Coatbridge College with teams from all over Scotland competing. Cardinal Newman was represented by Abigail Small (who originally came up with the idea), Liam Robertson, Patrick Hewitt and Antonia Battersby. The team presented their “Strawberry Frost” product to the judges who really liked their idea. Congratulations to Clyde Valley whose product came first. Mr Sloan and the pupils had a wonderful day and left with doggy bags full of freebies as a reward for getting to the final. All four pupils did themselves and the school proud, they were confident, articulate and truly effective contributors throughout the day. Well done.
