• Welcome to St. Columbkille's Catholic Church Rutherglen

    • Welcome to our parish website which we hope you will find to be informative about our church and the life of our parish community.

    • HISTORY

    • The present church building was opened in 1940 to replace the first St Columbkille's Church which was founded on the same site in 1851.

    • Our Parish Vision

    • We aspire to be a welcoming and faithful Eucharistic community, serving the Lord, spreading the truth of his Gospel, and helping all to respond to God's Universal call to holiness, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Parish Group Focus: Passkeepers

 
 

An important part of our service to the Lord is to contribute to the celebration of Mass through serving as a Passkeeper. We are a small group of volunteers who assist the clergy and our parish community by welcoming, directing and assisting parishioners and visitors at each Mass, ensuring that services run smoothly. We also provide practical support by ensuring that Offertory collections are undertaken with little disruption to the service and that proceeds are securely retained.

Passkeepers ensure that any necessary materials e.g. weekly bulletins, hymn books and leaflets are distributed to, and collected from, congregations. They are also mindful of the security of our Church and the wellbeing of parishioners and guests during and after services.

Our Passkeepers are few in number and it would be helpful to have a greater number available to help either daily, weekly or on special occasions throughout the year. Anyone, male or female, of any age can be a Passkeeper. If you are interested, or if you would like some further information, speak to one of the Priests.
