Thanks to St Columbkille's Catholic Church

The motion

That the Parliament thanks everyone involved with St Columbkille's Catholic Church, in Rutherglen, for everything that they have done for the local community in 2023; pays tribute to its year-round fundraising efforts for charitable and local causes; understands that, in December 2023, St Columbkille's Catholic Church parishioners raised over £3,700 for the charity, Mary’s Meals, which, it understands, will feed an estimated 196 school children for a full year; notes that the church’s facilities are also used by many local community groups and organisations, including for welfare clinics, sessions to help those experiencing bereavements, and dementia-friendly football memories groups; considers that places of worship, like St Columbkille's Catholic Church, are at the heart of communities, and wishes the whole church community the very best in 2024.
