New Season’s Marmalade
Seville Oranges (by far the best for Marmalade making) are now in the shops for a week or two. As in previous years, we have made a supply of home-made Marmalade for sale, with all proceeds going to St Peter’s Parish SCIAF Project.
The cost is £3 per jar, and there are also jars of plum jam and of quince jelly at the same price. If you would like to buy some, just contact Annie Royan (hospitality@stpetersrcchurchedinburgh.org.uk) for details of how to do so.
SVDP
The SVDP is still working away in the background helping those in need during
these very difficult times. It may be a call for food or essential items, or for a few pounds to those who come to the church door. If you would like to make a donation here is how to do it –
St Peter’s: likewise an envelope through the presbytery letterbox. Thank you once again for your generosity.
Sacramental Preparation for those children who attend non-denominational schools will begin in January 2021. If you would like your child prepared for the sacraments please contact Sister Karin:
sister@stcolumbasrcedinburgh.org.uk
First Confession (P3), First Holy Communion (P4)
