As the Church goes into the 21st Century it faces a number of challenges. The Clergy and 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 Paul has a number of plans to continue the good work of Father Ferrari, Father Pat and their predecessors in improving the facilities and environment of the church.
In recent years 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 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.
