Annual Celtic Festival: Saturday, January 28, 5:30-8:30
Please join us for our annual Celtic dinner featuring game stew and other foods, including a traditional Scottish haggis. A haggis is a combination of meat and oatmeal enclosed in a casing. The dish will be served after a reading by our friend and local actress, Gillian Swanson, a native Scot.
Live Celtic music will be provided by Bozeman’s Finnegan Ridge, wine and beer will also be served (donations welcome).
Tickets for the dinner are: $15 for adults in advance, or $20 at the door. Children under ten are admitted free. All are welcome.
This annual tradition honors St. Andrew, the Patron Saint of Scotland. St. Andrew’s Day is the national day of Scotland and is celebrated by Scots around the world on November 30th.
To make reservations for the Celtic dinner, or for more information, please call St. Andrew’s church office at (406) 222-0222. Tickets will be available at the church office at 310 West Lewis Street between 9 AM and 12 Noon, Monday through Thursday, or at Conley’s Books & Music during store hours beginning on Saturday, January 14.
October 2, 2011, The Feast of Saint Francis
The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
As is customary on St. Francis Day, our rector blesses and gives thanks for the animals who enrich our daily lives.
