Rest for your Soul
Each year, as part of the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival,
St Patrick's community presents 'Rest for your Soul' From the
official Fringe Festival Programme:
"Rest for your Soul is an hour
of peaceful contemplation
and worship in quiet and beautiful surroundings;
incorporating music, chant, silence and guided meditation.
Come and be refreshed in body, mind and spirit. Open to all"
Rest for your Soul reaches beyond
church-going Catholics and other Christians to the person
in the street, offering a haven of reflective space in the
noisy chaos of Edinburgh at Festival time.
From Disciples to Apostles
An introduction to lay ministry, with the emphasis on transforming
disciples (passive listeners, followers) into Apostles (dynamic
messengers, sent out to proclaim).
Nine Days' Prayer
This is a traditional devotion with a modern slant. The Nine
Days' Prayer (or Solemn Novena) is celebrated throughout the
world, in honour of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. In St Patrick's,
the traditional devotion is brought up-to-date, with involvement
of parishioners and St Pat's distinctive old-yet-new style
of meditative worship.
Welcome Back
A project shared with other Edinburgh parishes, making it
easy for those who have left the Church, or drifted from the
Church, to come back; and equally importantly, to enable the
Church to listen to the stories of those who left, and be
challenged by these stories to be more open and welcoming.
Elements of Welcome Back, originally staged in Autumn/Winter
2002, have now been incorporated into regular parish life
in St Patrick's.
