Welcome: to all our visitors, feel free to look around our beautiful church, particularly the St John Ogilvie Chapel & Exhibition. 

Clergy: we are back to a full cohort this weekend, as Fr Peter returns from Nigeria until he resumes his studies in September.

Fr Peter 10th Anniversary: Saturday 22nd August at 11am Mass in St Margaret’s, Huntly, followed by a lunch reception in St Thomas Hall, Keith.  Hope you signed up!

Hospital visiting: please remember to contact Deacon Graeme if you or any of your family are in hospital. He is always happy to visit.

Weekday Mass attendance: We are all encouraged to be part of our Weekday Mass community. The Friday Mass is a special day for adoration, confessions and offering prayers for specific intentions of our community. If you live locally, or are retired, your attendance is a great way to support your local church.

St John Ogilvie: October 17th 2026 will see the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of St John Ogilvie, a huge milestone for our parish. A celebration to mark the occasion is currently being planned, so Save the Date!

Prayer Group: Monday evenings, 7pm in the hall.  Contact: Elizabeth Danby.  

Tea & coffee: in the hall after Sunday Mass.  All welcome.

Pope’s Prayer Intention: August: For evangelisation in the city: Let us pray that in large cities often marked by anonymity and loneliness we find new ways to proclaim the Gospel, discovering creative paths to build communities.
