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.
Celebrating Success
This 
is a picture of our senior volunteers receiving their Saltire Awards for volunteering at Summer School as Youth Leaders.
The senior pupils gave up their own time to come and act as youth leaders to our new S1 pupils who attended the week long summer school. The Seniors helped run activities such as team games, sports, arts and crafts, cooking and attended Fordell Firs out door centre where they encouraged the younger pupils to try new activities such as climbing, archery, 3g King swing and an adventure course. The volunteers developed skills in youth work and leadership throughout the week.
A great time was had by all and the week would not have been possible without the senior volunteers.

Computing
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.
