Parishioners have bid a fond farewell to an East Kilbride parish priest who coordinated a massive humanitarian aid effort for war-torn Ukraine.
After seven years at the helm of St Bride's Church, Father Rafal Sobieszuk is taking a sabbatical with plans to return home to Poland to spend time with his family.
Fr. Rafal succeeded in sending five articulated lorries filled with 45 tonnes of humanitarian aid worth at least £1m to help devastated Ukranian war refugees get back on their feet.
