Welcome to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Cumbernauld
All Saints’ Day celebrates the countless men and women who have followed God faithfully and now share in His heavenly glory. Their example reminds us that holiness is not only for a few special people; it is a calling for all of us, expressed through the way we love God and care for others.
The first reading from the Book of Revelation reminds us that God's family includes people from all backgrounds and nations. It encourages us to remain faithful to God and remember that we are called to share in His eternal kingdom.
The second reading from St John's First Letter teaches us that holiness begins with recognising how deeply God loves us and allowing that love to shape our lives.
The Gospel from Matthew presents Jesus' teaching known as the Beatitudes. Through the Beatitudes, Jesus teaches us that true holiness is found in living with love, humility, mercy and a desire for what is right.
This Sunday reminds us that we are all called to holiness. We can follow the example of the saints by being patient, forgiving others, helping those in need, standing up for what is right and keeping God at the centre of our lives. As we celebrate All Saints' Day, let us ask God to help us grow in faith and become more like Jesus every day.

We, the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Cumbernauld, following the example of our Patron and Protector, believe that each member is called to ownership, discipleship, and evangelisation to our parish and local community.
The parish is a community of God’s people centered on the word of God and the Eucharist:
where all seek to be loving and caring, welcoming, forgiving, serving and healing;
where the poor can go for help, the lonely for company and the sorrowing for comfort;
where, with obedience to our own faith and respect for other faiths, we seek unity with all;
where, in a spirit of mission, we aim to promote God’s glory throughout the world;
where there is a passion for justice and peace;
where, as stewards of creation, we care and protect the environment locally and globally; and,
where Christ is the way and the truth and the life.
We do all of this as members of the Catholic community within the
Archdiocese of Glasgow and the universal Church.
