Third Sunday of Advent - Year A

Concerts in the Cathedral – 6 and 7 March 2020

We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting two fantastic fundraising evening concerts to be held uniquely in the Cathedral on Friday 6 March and Saturday 7 March 2020.

We are extremely fortunate to have secured the musical talents of some very special singers and musicians. On the Friday evening, we have Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham, two of Scotland’s acclaimed traditional musicians who have been delighting audiences across Scotland with their masterful, versatile and amusing performances. ‘Aly & Phil' are recipients of The Sunday Mail Great Scots’ “Lifetime Achievement” Award.

The Saturday evening will see our very own parishioner and Scotland’s bestselling female album artist Barbara Dickson OBE perform along with Nick Holland and supported by Anthony Toner. Barbara has earned 6 platinum, 11 gold and 7 silver albums for her recordings and it will be a privilege to have her perform.

Tickets are keenly priced at £25 per person and can be bought through Eventbrite: Aly & Phil and Barbara Dickson.

We anticipate tickets will sell fast, so we have ensured our parishioners have advance notice of their release. They would make excellent Christmas presents for your family and friends.

Sick Visitation on Friday 20 December

The clergy will visit the sick and housebound in both parishes this coming Friday (those who are on our Sick List). If you know any of the housebound, perhaps you could let them know that we will be visiting. If you know of anyone who is sick and is not receiving regular visits from the clergy and from Eucharistic Ministers, please let us know by contacting the Parish Office.

Special Candlelit Rorate Masses

Ravelston, Monday at 7pm
The Cathedral, Thursday at 7pm

This week, we will have the last two of our beautiful candlelit Advent Rorate Masses. If you have not yet had the opportunity to come along, we look forward to seeing you on Monday night at 7pm in Ravelston or on Thursday night at 7pm in the Cathedral. And if you already have been, we look forward to seeing you again for this very special opportunity to prepare your family spiritually for Christmas.
