DIARY DATES
Sunday 23 November: Autumn Music Festival at Holy Name: Kilgraston School Choir will again entertain the audience with a varied programme of music to suit all taste and members of Our Lady of Lourdes music group will be playing a series of melodies.

We have invited all these musicians and singers, individuals in the Church who have given up their time to ensure its success. What we really need is for you to come along.

This is always a fantastic musical experience followed by wine, nibbles etc. Fr. Alex is bringing soup – that alone is worth coming for! Tickets are only £6 for adults, £3 for children and can be bought at the door. If you don’t want to queue on the 23rd tickets can be bought today at the back of the Church. So put next Sunday in your diary and bring along family, friends, relatives etc – let’s have a full house.

ST. COLUMBA’S ROMAN CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL – VENTURE STREET
Dear Parents
St. Columba’s RC HS has decided to take part in a project called “Venture Street” in Dunfermline. The empty shop units in Bruce Street will be given over to local enterprises, wishing to set themselves up as a business, from Friday 14 November until Wednesday 24 December.
Our “Citizenshop” moving into town will be a great opportunity to:
- Encourage our six year students to become entrepreneurs;
- Establish links with our local community;
- Raise funds for worthwhile causes.
50% of profits will go to a school based project, 25% will go to SSVP (Society of St. Vincent de Paul), and 25% to a project in Ebola affected countries. Our Enterprise groups and the XL Club will also be selling their items at the shop and profits will go directly to their projects.
As you can imagine running a shop every day for six weeks would be a difficult task for a school, so we may not be open every day, but there are other opportunities for you to support us and raise funds. We will have a staff at each of the parents’ evenings this term (Thursday 20 Nov & Tuesday 2 Dec.) the Christmas Fayre on Saturday 29 Nov and the Christmas Concert Tues 16 Dec.
