This building belongs to a family of parishioners who had just fulfilled their dream by moving in a few weeks ago. They lost everything in a truly devastating house fire this week. Luckily, no-one was hurt but the house has been burnt to the ground. The family is a big part of our Parish Community here at St Ninian's Church in Inverness. They are now looking for temporary accommodation but meanwhile they will need help with food, clothes, toiletries etc. A parishioner has kindly created GoFundMe. Please open the link and support them. There will be a second collection next Sunday for those who do not have access to internet. https://www.gofundme.com/f/agnieszka-peter-natalie-jessica-devastating-house-fire-n9bmr

To accompany his constant calls for peace in the world, Pope Leo XIV will lead the prayer of the Holy Rosary on May 30 at 7:00 PM Rome time from the Vatican Gardens.

He will lead the faithful in Shrines around the world in praying the Joyful Mysteries, with each decade being dedicated specifically for those affected by war and violence and entrusting them to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.

The first mystery prays for the victims of war, especially the most vulnerable, while the second is for those who bring words of hope and the comfort of faith to populations affected by war. The third recalls the medical and paramedical personnel and volunteers who bring humanitarian aid every day.

The fourth mystery prays for those who suffer the violence of war, for prisoners and for all who endure humiliations that violate human dignity. The fifth and final Joyful Mystery is dedicated to praying for an end to war and the establishment of lasting peace in the world.

☀️ What a beautiful day of fellowship! 📖🧺
Our St Ninian’s church families had a wonderful time exploring the Elgin Biblical Garden. It was the perfect setting for a picnic and a great way for the kids (and adults!) to see the Bible come to life through the plants and sculptures.
If you haven't been yet, we highly recommend a visit—it’s such a gem for families and anyone looking for a bit of inspiration!
Thank you to everyone who joined us!

🙏A Prayer for our Priests 🙏

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord Jesus,
Good Shepherd and companion on the journey,
today we place in your hands all priests,
especially those going through moments of crisis,
when loneliness weighs heavily,
when doubt clouds their hearts,
and when exhaustion seems stronger than hope.

You who know their struggles and wounds,
renew in them the certainty of your unconditional love.
Let them feel they are not mere functionaries or lonely heroes,
but beloved sons, humble and cherished disciples,
and pastors sustained by the prayer of their people.

Good Father,
teach us as a community to care for our priests:
to listen without judging,
to give thanks without demanding perfection,
to share with them the baptismal mission
of proclaiming the Kingdom in word and deed,
and to accompany them with closeness and sincere prayer.
May we support those who so often support us.

Holy Spirit,
rekindle in our priests the joy of the Gospel.
Grant them healthy friendships, networks of fraternal support,
a sense of humour when things don’t go as expected,
and the grace to always rediscover the beauty of their vocation.
May they never lose trust in You,
nor the joy of serving your Church with a humble and generous heart.
Amen.
