Saint Helen's, Langside

In our Advent Appeal we want to try to help the most vulnerable in our local area. Unfortunately we cannot go about it his year in the same way as we did very succesfully last yeare. However, we would like to encourage you to support a local organisation working with Refugees and Asylum Seekers: Positive Action in Housing is a small refugee and migrant homelessness and human rights charity. (Click their logo above to find out more)

In the run up to Christmas, the charity’s team will be safely distributing essential crisis support, PPE, food and bus vouchers, winter-wear and hygiene kits to 200 asylum seeking families and individuals in Glasgow (which has the highest asylum population in the UK). Its package of support will help people get through the winter period and these essential resources will help them to keep mentally and physically healthy. The support will focus on those at risk of exploitation: unaccompanied children, families, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with health problems or disabilities. Any donation you can give, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated, with every penny spent on providing direct emergency relief.

Each weekday evening at 6.00 pm we will live stream the Angelus and our prayers for our Faithful departed.

We are so grateful to the many parishioners who have made donations to Saint Helen's during these days when our regular income is much reduced due to the closure of our church. We now have a quick, easy and secure way to make one-off or regular offerings to the parish on-line by clicking the "donate" button above. (If you would prefer to complete a standing order form and hand it to your bank, please click HERE). We also appeal to any parishioners who have made recent donations and who are tax payers to consider completing a Gift Aid Declaration which will enable the parish to reclaim 25% of your offering.
