After Mass yesterday morning, we checked whether Fr Austin was ok for shopping. But another parishioner had already seen to that for him. It would appear though, that the Diocese is not directly funding him. No sure of the details.
We went down to Dumbarton to get some hanging baskets, then on the way past the Chrch, we popped in to see if he wanted to go for a coffee. He was quite pleased. We took him over to the Erskine Hospital tea room. Then, we did a "Church Crawl"of all the churches in Clydebank. We got into St Mary's, and St. Margaret's in Whitecrook. The others were closed and there was a wedding about to begin at OHR. Still, he enjoyed seeing the area.
We hope to be able to take him, if he is still around, to the David Livingstone Centre in Blantyre. Father knows of Livingstone and is keen to see that, and Loch Lomond.
We are very fortunate that to have a priest available to us at this time.
Tomorrow, Fr McGinty's body will be received into St Patrick's at 5.30pm.
