Dear Father,
I would like to share the latest information we have from Haiti. Because
of the many donations we have received, we were able to pledge an initial
£100,000 to the church's response, which is being co-ordinated in Haiti
through Caritas Internationalis, the international network of Catholic aid
agencies, of which SCIAF is a member. Caritas Haiti responded immediately
the earthquake struck, and they have now been joined by Caritas USA and 11
international Caritas staff with specialist skills. They will co-ordinate
the work of helping those who have survived the tragedy, which has killed
so many and destroyed so much. By the end of this week there will be a
team of around 24 Caritas staff in Port au Prince.
Their initial target is to help 50,000 survivors with water, sanitation,
shelter and food. Parishes are helping provide basic services in camps
for survivors. Food packages are being distributed and water storage
containers, water purification tablets, hygiene kits, cooking utensils and
plastic sheeting are being prepared in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Bishop Pierre Dumas, President of Caritas Haiti, sent this message
yesterday (19th January):
"I believe that our charity and the way in which we live this crisis will
help increase our humanity. It will help us be more generous, open and
available to each other, because the symbolic ways of living together have
been destroyed. All of the symbols which join us together: the cathedral,
the president's palace, ministries, the schools, religious communities and
many more places are in ruins."
Michelle Hough from Caritas International said: "Every night around
11.30pm, people who are sleeping in the street start to sing and pray.
It's one of the few signs of hope amid the shock and devastation. The
With many thanks for all your support and generous donations, which are
arriving every day.
Peter McMillan, SCIAF Parish Officer
The second collection last week raised a massive £809 for Haiti, Well done for your generosity.
Monday 1 February, Harry Burns, the Chief Medical Officer for Scotland will
be giving a talk in St Paul's Hall, Shettleston at 7pm on health in the
East End. This is organised by the deanery and is open to everyone.
2nd collection on 14 February as part of Catholic Education week.
"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).
