The past two Sundays I visited the Scots College celebrating Mass and enjoying their hospitality over lunch




The past two Sundays I visited the Scots College celebrating Mass and enjoying their hospitality over lunch. It was good to spend time with our seminarians and staff. I thank the Community for their generosity in discerning the Lord’s call for them. Please remember them in your prayers.
Yesterday I travelled to the College with Sr Catherine Skelton, a Daughter of St Paul, who is now based in Rome. We both grew up in Joseph’s Parish, Greenock - in fact on the same street, Grieve Road. I asked Sr Catherine why she joined her particular Congregation. As a teenager on holiday in Rothesay she attended Mass in St Andrew’s and picked up a book about St Paul’s founder and from that became aware of her vocation! Tourists are constantly visiting parishes across our diocese. We have a privileged ministry and we should never underestimate the positive influence the Lord can have through us.
