St Bartholomew’s has been gifted three very special and precious items by the Passionist priests from St Mungo’s Church in Glasgow. The beautiful crucifix, tabernacle and sanctuary lamp which formerly adorned the Holy Cross and Passion Sister’s chapel in Pollock have been very generously donated for use in our oratory. We will need to seek written permission from the bishop before the Blessed Sacrament can be reserved in the tabernacle. Nevertheless, we are extremely grateful for the kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity of the Passionist community in Glasgow. Thank you from all of us.

Primary 1 are organising a very exciting event this coming Monday as part of their Commonwealth Games topic. All pupils in the school are invited to decorate their bike and cycle to school. A ‘bike parade’ will take place around the playground to give everyone a chance to see the decorated bicycles. Primary 1 have made two films about their special event and these will be shown at today’s whole school assembly.
