Considerations about the Mass at Bellahouston Park

All pilgrims will need to be in place in Bellahouston Park by 3pm.
The Mass will begin at 5.15pm and conclude by 7.30pm. However due to the large numbers expected, it will take some hours to empty the park. Please note that by 7.30pm it will be dark.
Arrival and departure times for coaches will be staggered to ensure they meet necessary deadlines and ensure a flow of traffic.
The park will be exposed and there will be no weather protection. Ask yourself if you are physically able to cope with this.
There will be no seating provided and remember that September in Glasgow can be cold.

PAPAL MASS  -  BELLAHOUSTON PARK : FAQs.

Can pilgrims bring folding chairs?

Yes, pilgrims are free to bring their own folding chairs with them.

Can pilgrims bring umbrellas?

No, please do not bring them.

Can young children and babies attend along with their parent or guardian?

Yes - but even if they are a baby, they should be included in the parish allocation to enable us to know how many persons are in the Park.

Will food be available for purchase at Bellahouston Park ?

Yes, food for purchase will be available but we would encourage pilgrims to bring their own food too.

Will there be toilet facilities in Bellahouston Park ?

Yes, there will be toilet facilities located at points around the area where the Mass will be held.

What arrangements are there for disabled pilgrims?

We will ask pilgrim leaders for information on disabled pilgrims in their parish group to enable us to meet their needs as much as we are able.

We pray for the sick and those who care for them: Joe McCafferty, Bridget Gordon, Catherine Wilson, Maga Maczek, Nilda D’Agostino, John Donoghue, Theresa Donoghue, Rita Jones, John McPartlin, Samantha Carey, Eleanor Docherty, Collette Duffy, Mrs. A.
