Northern Marches Day of Recollection - 28/11/2010

The Day of Recollection for the Northern Marches has had to be cancelled as Fr Cobbold cannot get out of Ampleforth due to the snow.

Petrasancta Companions Dinner - January 4th 2011

The dinner will be once again in VIVA (corner of Bothwell and West Campbell Streets) . I suggest starting at 5 for an early end as the Praefectus will want to go to sleep and the rest of you will doubtless have a multitude of spiritual events to attend later ...

If any of your parents would like to come, and indeed join the Companions, they would be most welcome too.

Please sign up either on Facebook or by email or text so that I can give Marco some idea of how many to expect.

Ceilidh for Kibera

Many thanks to all who supported the Ceilidh for Kibera last night. Copious sums were raised for our host groups in Kibera (Laini Saba, St Secilia's, St Aloysius and the Order of Malta Clinics).

The ceilidh band, of Tony Coogan and Donnie MacAskill did a great job yet again in keeping the whole crowd on its feet for the entire evening!

Colonel Beverly Bergman

The Petrasancta Society will be entertaining Colonel Bergman to lunch on Tuesday 7th December at 12. Beverly is a consultant physician, the Scottish Government's liaison officer with the Armed Forces and will give us a talk first on the medical arrangements for the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. All Companions are welcome but please tell me if you are coming.

We know have five definitely going on the late-June Nairobi safari, approximate cost £1000. More information after the February jaunt.
