Raffle: Our parishioners are asked to take  books of raffle tickets from the back of the church.  
Each ticket costs £1, and there are five to a book. We hope everyone will make  a special effort to try to sell as many as they can. Remember, the sale of only one book of tickets can feed a child for almost a year!  There are some excellent prizes: Dinner for two at Glen Spean Hotel, Hampers and many other gifts.
Wheel of Fortune: The committee will be very grateful for any prizes donated to the Wheel of Fortune—bottles of spirits, boxes of chocolates, tins of biscuits etc. This in itself will help to raise a considerable amount of money.
We rely on everyone to do their best.

Dear Monsignor Tom
I write to share something of the joy of you and your parishioners on the announcement that a son of the parish, Father Joe, being named as the next Bishop of Argyll and the Isles. I can understand something of your own personal pride and indeed that of your people that such a wonderful priest, a son of your parish, being appointed as your next Bishop. I am sure that everyone, especially the Bishop-Elect’s mother, will be humbly proud at the honoured bestowed on her son.

My thoughts and my prayers are with you all and I very much look forward to meeting with many parishioners from Roy Bridge and Spean Bridge, as well as Invergarry, when I am with you at the Episcopal Ordination in the not-too-distant future.
Yours sincerely in Christ
+ Keith Patrick Cardinal O'Brien, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh
