The Diocese of Motherwell has recommended that we have a booking system (Eventbrite)for places at the liturgy; this is for safety reasons and also to ensure that people are not disappointed if they arrive at church and discover they cannot gain access. For each service the parish must retain the details of all those attending so that contact tracing can be carried out if necessary.
Please consult the parish website, stmarysandstpaulshamilton.org to book a place through Eventbrite or phone the church house.
St. Andrew’s Hospice, Airdrie:Mr. David Cluckie is walking 350 miles to John O’Groats this summer to raise funds for the hospice. If you would like to sponsor David then you can do so by going to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/David-cluckie.

All who are sick in the parish and all who have asked us to pray for them.
