Today, Bishop Joseph Toal of the Diocese of Motherwell visited the Dysart Carmel Sisters, accompanied by four recently ordained priests and Deacon Kieran, who will be ordained to the priesthood later this year.

Together they celebrated Holy Mass in their chapel before spending time with the sisters in the community room.

The sisters spoke of the great joy it was to meet young priests so cheerfully dedicated to their ministry, and they continue to pray for them, asking God to bless Scotland with many faithful and generous priests.
