As
the Church goes into the 21st Century it faces a number of challenges.
Father Pat and the Parishioners are considering options with the rest
of the diocese to reduce the burden on the ever reducing number of priests
available to parishes.
Locally Father
Pat has a number of plans to continue the good work of Father Ferrari
and his predecessors in improving the facilities and environment of the
church.
Recently the parishoners
agreed with a proposal to build a new church hall. The Queen Margaret
Hall, which was built during the long service of Father McGovern, is in
need of replacement. It has served the parish well considering the materials
that were available in the post war years. Plans are now underway to start
fund raising activities to raise the not inconsiderable sum needed to
provide this facility.
On the Spiritual
front, Father Pat has implemented a number of changes in the church services
to comply with modern day church thinking.
As we go forward
in these challenging times we pray that God will guide us on our in continued
building of the Catholic Church in Linlithgow.
