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.
