When the bishops of Scotland went to see Pope Benedict this month he said this:
“It is a happy coincidence that the Year for Priests, which the whole Church is currently celebrating, marks the four hundredth anniversary of the priestly ordination of the great Scottish martyr Saint John Ogilvie. Rightly venerated as a faithful servant of the Gospel, he was truly outstanding in his dedication to a difficult and dangerous pastoral ministry, to the point of laying down his life. Hold him up as an example for your priests today.”
In exploring the life of St John Ogilvie through tracing his travels, we hope to explore the Lord’s accompaniment of each of us in our journey of faith. During this year of priests, with the examples of St Jude and St John Ogilvie, please pray that our parish will have the grace of an ordination to the priesthood.
Candles, specially made for our novena are available at £1, which can placed on the Sacred Heart altar, where the statue of St John Ogilvie will reside for the duration of the novena. There will also be a petitions box for anyone who wishes to place their needs and prayers for novena.
Celebration ends with a Céilidh (CD music) on Saturday, 13th March in The Calvay Centre, 7.30pm to 11pm. Adults £3, Child (under 16) £2, Family Ticket £10. Ticket includes Pie ‘n’ Peas or Beans. BYOB. Tickets on sale now.
God our Father, fountain of all blessing, we thank you for the countless graces that come to us in answer to the prayers of your saints. With great confidence we ask you in the name of your Son and through the prayers of St John Ogilvie to help us in all our needs. Lord Jesus, you chose your servant St John Ogilvie to be your faithful witness to the spiritual authority of the chief shepherd of your flock. Keep your people always one in mind and heart, in communion with Benedict our Pope, and all the bishops of your Church. Holy Spirit, you gave St John Ogilvie light to know your truth, wisdom to defend it, and courage to die for it. Through his prayers and example bring our country into the unity and peace
of Christ’s kingdom. Amen.

Novena in Honour of Saint John Ogilvie
On the battlefields of Scotland, in the hour of victory, there was heard the cry of heroes, “Ogilvie, an Ogilvie.” Gallant son of gallant fathers, it was thine as theirs to fight, but with gates of hell contending thou didst die for truth and right. Blessed martyr, thy example will our strength in weakness be. Hear our cry in times of peril: ”Ogilvie, an Ogilvie”
By the scaffold all undaunted, strong in grace we see thee still, Looking up, serene and smiling, with a firm, unconquered will. It is thy bright hour of triumph, like our Lord on Calvary’s cross, Victory is thine in dying, endless gain in seeming loss.
Blessed Martyr, hear thy children, be our guide and show the way, Make us strong and keep us steadfast in the warfare of today, Looking down from heights of glory, see in us thy kith and kin, Teach us thy strong trust in Jesus, that we too may victory win.
God we thank you for all your gifts to us. Especially for the precious gift of our Catholic faith. Grant that our country may be united once again in the unity of the Catholic Church. May the prayers of St John Ogilvie obtain for us the blessings that we ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Novena Prayer:
God our Father, fountain of all blessing, We thank you for the countless graces that come to us in answer to the prayers of your saints. With great confidence we ask you in the name of your Son and through the prayers of St John Ogilvie to help us in all our needs.
Lord Jesus, you chose your servant St John Ogilvie to be your faithful witness to the spiritual authority of the chief shepherd of your flock. Keep your people always one in mind and heart, In communion with Benedict our Pope, and all the bishops of your Church.
Holy Spirit, you gave St John Ogilvie light to know your truth, wisdom to defend it, and courage to die for it. Through his prayers and example bring our country into the unity and peace of Christ’s kingdom. Amen.
Let Scotland’s hills and straths and glens acclaim their son whose praise we sing; who died a martyr true as steel, a faithful knight of Christ his King.
John Ogilvie, you prayed for light, And travelled far your pilgrim way To find in Scotland’s ancient faith The dawn of everlasting day.
You came at last to Scotland’s shore, A priest pursued by cruel law; In chains you preached the Church’s faith And died upholding Peter’s cause.
You loved God’s mother whose great name Made holier still your dying breath. You used her beads to win God’s grace, Your parting gift in face of death.
In heaven’s glory pray that soon our country may at last be one, to preach one Gospel, break one bread, and be One Body in God’s Son.
St John, to make all one in Christ, His flag of freedom you unfurled. With you we pray that all may be One Lord, One Faith, One Hope, One World.
"We the worshipping community of St Jude’s and St John Ogilvie’s, Barlanark, accept the challenge of the Gospel to know, love and serve God and each other by upholding the traditions of our Faith and by building up the body of Christ universal"

History of
St. Jude and
St John Ogilvie Parish
The parish of St Jude in Barlanark was founded in 1954 with Fr Martin Doherty as Parish Priest. The church was opened in 1956. Fr Doherty retired in 1982 and was replaced as Parish Priest by Fr Gus Hurley.
“Wee” Fr Hurley was replaced as Parish Priest by “Big” Fr Tom Hurley in 1989. Fr Allan Cameron, the current parish priest, was appointed in 2000.
The parish of Blessed John Ogilvie in Wellhouse was founded in 1957, with Fr Jeremiah Healy as Parish Priest. Fr Healy died before the final completion of the church in 1960. He was succeeded in 1960 by Rev Thomas Reilly, who remained until 1978.
Fr Reilly was heavily involved in the cause for the canonisation of John Ogilvie which took place in 1976. The miraculous cure of a parishioner, John Fagan, was the final miracle that led from Blessed John Ogilvie to Saint John Ogilvie, as the parish was then renamed.
Fr Reilly was replaced as parish priest by Fr Patrick Tobin, from 1978 until 1989. Fr Eamon Friel, served only two years (1989-1991) before Fr Peter Sweeney was appointed. Fr Sweeney served the parish for 10 years (1991-2001) before his untimely death.
Fr Joseph McNulty took over the parish after Fr Sweeney’s death and served as parish priest until the parish was amalgamated with St Jude’s to become the Parish of St Jude and St John Ogilvie (2 March 2008).
