The SPRED Centre is closed for the next week while the SPRED staff and our chaplain attend the SPRED international conference in Fatima.
Looking forward to a week of sharing, learning and community with branches of our SPRED family from around the world.
We promise to pray for you at the shrine.

So many people to thank for our fabulous ceilidh last night - the amazing Borland Ceilidh Band, everyone who came and danced and created such a great atmosphere, those who donated prizes and food to keep the energy levels up, those who sourced the prizes, who set up the hall, who staffed the tombola, who bought and sold raffle tickets, who spent hours folding them.
Congratulations to the lucky winners in our main raffle. The SPRED office is closed for a week as we travel to our international conference in Fatima but we’ll be in touch with the winners when we return. In the meantime we promise our prayers for all our SPRED family and generous supporters.

Lily the SPRED Centre dog is looking after the prizes for in house raffle at our annual ceilidh this evening.
Our grand raffle will be drawn tonight too and there is Glasgow’s best tombola at which it’s hard not to win a prize.
We are also excited to welcome the Borland Ceilidh Band for the first time.

We love having our school groups in the SPRED Centre. Judging by this happy picture painted by one of the school staff, they feel the same.

“building for the common good means accepting the limits and weakness of humanity without considering them an error to be corrected” (Pope Leo, Magnifica Humanitatis)

Our friends in SPRED remind us that limits and weakness are part of our humanity. We are all loveable, we all have gifts to share.

Some plants thrive in garden soil, some on moorland and some in water.
It’s the same with people. We all need the right environment to thrive.
For some of us, with and without disabilities, the environment in which we can thrive and grow in faith is SPRED. If you are curious about how SPRED can support you please do get in touch.

On the day of Pentecost ... they were bewildered because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.
We all need to hear the Good News in our own language, including those for whom words are not the best way to hear the Good News.
That is why SPRED exists - so that our fellow parishioners with learning disabilities can also hear the Good News.
Wishing you a joyful Pentecost.

The fruit of the Spirit is faithfulness.
Faithfulness to the group and to a particular friend in the group is a hallmark of SPRED. People with and without disabilities remain faithful even in difficult times.
How fortunate we are to enjoy such faithfulness.

The fruit of the Spirit is kindness.
We see so many simple acts of kindness in SPRED - the friend who always makes sure that her catechist receives the message from Jesus too; a hand held to comfort or reassure; the person who quietly picks up an extra task; those who bake cakes; those who donate so that our work can continue. We are grateful for them all and to God, who is the source of all kindness.
