During the last hour or so I have been viewing your lovely web site.  I emailed the parish for information on my grandparents and mother and thought I would include a tid bit as told to me by mother.

I was looking through the web sites to download a novena to the Sacred Heart for a friend, when my eagle-eyed mum ( 86 yrs.)  spotted your site.  Mum was a parishioner of St. Mary's Abercrombie St., and attended Sacred Heart school. She was thrilled to look at the photographs  old & new on the web pages and needless to say it will be a talking point for the next few family visits. As a point of interest Fr. my mum's grandfather a Joseph Peak from St. Helen's in Lancashire who was a convert to the church composed a mass in honour of Mary Magdelene. According to mum, he was the first person to be buried from Sacred Heart and parts of his mass were sung at his requiem.

Thank you, on behalf of my mum. It has filled up her day, and a promise that we will pay a visit to Sacred Heart & St. Mary's the next time we are down in Glasgow.

Yours sincerely

Peter Murphy

	March 20, 2002     I emigrated to Canada in 1969. Although I was not a parishioner of  Sacred Heart (Went to St. Agnes, Lambhill) I have just visited your website and have spent the past hour going over the various pages. Your website is excellent and has loads of good pictures, information and must bring back a lot of good memories for your parishioners and former parishioners. This is certainly a good site also for anybody who is researching their family tree. Good to see the various positive comments. Keep up the good work... God Bless  John Connor Alberta, Canada sept 13th 2009        My name is Theresa (Richardson) Weir. I now live in California. Born and raised  in Norman St, til I was 12 - 1963 then we moved to Muslin St, I have wonderful memories of Bridgeton the greatest place on earth. I went to Sacred Heart school and then to Pirn St school. My brother Robert went to St Mungos I was baptized and had my 1st holy communion there. I remember a lovely Irish priest father Austin Ruan I used to copy his Irish accent.  I love your website and have been trying for years to get photos of Norman St, anything will do and I would love to email and contact anyone from there especially those who remember me. As for Daniel Brogan he probably remembers my mother and family they were named Reilly. Owen, Robert, Theresa, Christina and Agnes. Robert and Agnes were twins. I was home several years ago and went to Bridgeton I with my friend Carol Cairns also from Norman St. Took photos of  the chapel, and my old street which is no more except for Gelfers tie factory where we played balls. Would love to here from anyone. My email address is <theresaweir92@comcast.net> Bless you for this website.  14th Oct 2009
