On the feast of St. Mungo, our city’s patron Saint, we are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Archbishop Tartaglia. We pray for the repose of his soul and for his family, friends and wider community at this difficult time. 🖤 Requiescat in pace 🖤
We had a great time at the Archdiocesan Secondary School Mass this evening at the Cathedral. In his homily the Archbishop reminded us that Gospel values are not abstract ideas but are rooted in our personal encounter with Christ.

Some days are easier than others...and some days we miss our “normal.” This morning (for me and will be for many others) seems that little bit trickier but faith, hope and love will see us through. Make your prayers strong today. 🙏🏻💛
We talk about the Rosary often but sometimes it can be tricky to remember what comes next. Have a look at this infograph to help out.

A beautiful mass for our S6 leavers this evening. 🙏🏻 We take into our hearts Fr David’s message of allowing the Risen Christ to walk beside us throughout our journey of life. ✝️👣
It is with deep regret that I inform you that 2 pupils from our school community have sadly passed away. Please keep both pupils & their families in your thoughts & prayers. If any pupil requires support at this very difficult time please contact your PC Teacher. Mr McGuigan
Some of our S6 Caritas pupils spent a beautiful morning at St. Mary’s, for Caritas

This month we celebrate Black History Month. We are focussing on St Josephine Bakhita&the theme of “Saluting our Sisters.”Some pupils interviewed family members asking them about how their faith has made an impact on their identity,&how do they put their beliefs into action❤️💛💚
S2 finished off this morning’s lesson by completing a 10 minute challenge to make a Rosary.💙 Pupils reflected on the personal value of prayer and how we dedicate the month of May to Our Lady…super impressed with their leadership, time management & teamwork skills! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Today we kicked off our S1 Tour of the city 🗺️ Pupils spent the morning on an open top bus, learning all about Glasgow with a focus on the history of the Catholic Church. ✝️ Next group are up tomorrow, let’s hope it stays dry! 🤞🏼☀️

A special mention for the two young men on the left. Since S1, they have faithfully attended Mass&made a significant contribution to the faith life of the school, now in S6&undertaking the Caritas Award, they are Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. We are so proud of them.
And just like that it’s the end of another incredibly busy term…Thank you to all of our pupils, staff, parents and partners for all that you do to support Lourdes. Thank you Fr David for your amazing support as always! We wish everyone a holy and blessed Easter. ✝️
Standing room only at Mass this morning...wonderful to see young people feeding their faith and so many intentions for our November lists. 😇
