VOCATIONS MORNING
Join us this coming Saturday (18 October) at St Patrick's in Kilbirnie (1 Childers Terrace in Kilbirnie) for a special morning for vocations.

The morning begins at 9:30am, and is a wonderful time to learn about and pray for vocations to the priesthood.

If you're thinking about the priesthood, we hope you can come along to join us!
