What a wonderful job the painters have done on all three of our Churches; St Mary’s and St Dominic’s were painted a few months ago. The outside of the Church and the house has been painted at St David’s, and the inside of the church was finished on Friday.

Thank you to Daniel and Thomas.

🌑 A chance to be part of something extraordinary

Tomorrow, Wednesday 12 August, there will be a major partial solar eclipse visible across the UK. In Scotland and parts of the UK, around 90% or more of the Sun will be covered by the Moon, creating an unusual period of darkness and an incredible, almost other-worldly atmosphere. It’s a rare event, and one that many of us will remember for years to come.

As a parish we’d love to create a very short film capturing this moment through the eyes of you, our parishioners and from our friends further afield.

Film the eclipse from wherever you happen to be tomorrow evening — whether that’s from your garden, a local park, out on a walk, on holiday, from a window, or somewhere else that feels meaningful to you.

The idea is to gather as many different perspectives as possible: different countries, towns and cities, communities and landscapes across Scotland, and further afield across the UK and beyond. Some of our friends are in England, some of our parishioners are on holiday, so we’re hoping we can capture the eclipse from as many different locations as possible and bring all of those individual moments together.

The footage will form part of a short film accompanied by a poem, creating a shared story of one extraordinary moment experienced by lots of different people in lots of different places.

It doesn’t need to be professionally filmed or complicated. A short clip on a phone is absolutely fine. What matters is simply capturing your perspective and being able to say: I was there, and this is what I saw.

If you would like to be part of this and do it, send your footage on WhatsApp to 07813557772 or simply on messenger.

It would be fantastic to see just how many different perspectives we can bring together.

☀️ Important safety information

Looking directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse can cause permanent eye damage, even when most of the Sun is covered. You should never look directly at the Sun through your eyes, ordinary sunglasses, a phone camera, binoculars, a telescope or other optical equipment unless the equipment is specifically designed and properly fitted for safe solar viewing.

If you want to observe the eclipse, you should use properly certified solar/eclipse viewing glasses or an appropriate solar viewer, following the manufacturer’s instructions. An alternative is to film the surroundings and the changing light rather than attempting to film the Sun itself.

🎒 A new school year begins

Over the coming days, schools across Scotland will begin to return for a new academic year.

As pupils, teachers and staff prepare to return to the classroom, we keep all of our school communities in our prayers.

We pray especially for those beginning school for the very first time, those moving on to secondary school, and all those starting a new chapter in their education.

May the Lord bless our pupils, teachers, staff and families, and may the year ahead be filled with opportunities to learn, grow in faith and flourish.

🙏 St Thomas Aquinas, Patron Saint of Students and Catholic Education, pray for us.
