The Presentation of the Lord
2026-02-02 | St Columbkille’s Church, Main Street, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73
Forty days after Christmas, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, an event that the evangelist Luke recounts in Chapter 2 of his Gospel. In the East, the celebration of this feast dates back to the 4th century. By the year 450, it was called The Feast of the Meeting of the Lord because Jesus enters the Temple and “meets” the priests, as well as Simeon and Anna, representatives of the people of God. Around the middle of the 5th century, we know the feast was also celebrated in Rome. At a certain point, the blessing of candles was added to this feast to recall that Jesus is the “light to the gentiles”. Thus, this feast is also sometimes referred to as Candlemas.

Sunday of the Word of God
2026-01-25 | St Columbkille’s Church, Main Street, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73
The Sunday of the Word of God in 2026 falls on Sunday, January 25th, coinciding with the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, with the theme: “The word of Christ dwells among you“(Colossians 3:16), an invitation to place the Bible at the heart of Christian life, study, and mission.
The Sunday of the Word of God is a pastoral initiative which highlights how important it is in the daily life of the Church and our communities to refer to the Word of God, a Word that is not confined to a book, but which remains ever alive and becomes a concrete and tangible sign.
