Yes, even the Swiss Guards need a coffee break!




Yes, even the Swiss Guards need a coffee break! Over the past four years an incredible amount of organising has gone into this Synod by the General Secretariat. More locally I thank the priests, facilitators and parishioners who participated in the diocesan phases as well as our diocesan and national collators. I remember all who participated in Prague for the European Assembly. That seemed an enormous task but these two October Assemblies in Rome have been extremely well organised with secretarial, computing, technical and translation support. The liturgies have been beautiful and uplifting, all of which takes preparation. The input by the speakers and assistance from the experts is greatly appreciated also. The Hall is always clean and the coffee breaks most welcome. And, of course, we are kept safe! Finally, but by no means least, I thank you across Scotland for your prayers. The Synod is primarily a spiritual experience - everything else is important and does help - but prayer is the most important.
