MS. RENA VALERIO, RIP: I regret to announce the death of Ms. Rena Valerio at the age of 69. On behalf of the whole parish, I extend our deepest sympathies to her brother Robert and to the whole family, and assure them of our prayers for her eternal rest. Funeral details to be announced. – Fr. Peter

PARISH BULLETIN – UPDATE: At the request of some parishioners, the printed version of the bulletin will once again be available at the back of both parish churches. To keep costs down, I would ask those who are able and satisfied with the online bulletin to refrain from picking up the printed version. I will only print out the new booklet format since it is much easier to handle. Since numerous copies were left over last weekend (9-10 October), this week there will be only 50 copies for each of the Largs Masses and 50 copies for the Millport Mass. Let’s see how that goes and then we can adapt if necessary, either up or down. – Fr. Peter

AGNES PATRICIA McLURE-McGONIGAL, RIP: I regret to announce the death of Ms. McLure-McGonigal of Fort Street, Largs, who passed away at the age of 93 years on 3rd October last. I express condolences to her family and friends on behalf of the whole parish. The Requiem Mass will be on Friday, 22nd October at 10am, and thereafter to the Clyde Crematorium. – Fr. Peter
