The Bishops' Conference of Scotland

The Roman Catholic Bishops in Scotland work together to undertake nationwide initiatives through their Commissions and Agencies.

The members of the Bishops' Conference are the Bishops of the eight Scottish Dioceses. Where appropriate the Bishops Emeriti (retired) provide a much welcomed contribution to the work of the conference. The Bishops' Conference of Scotland is a permanently constituted assembly which meets regularly throughout the year to address relevant business matters.

First Encyclical of Pope Leo XIV: Magnifica Humanitas

The Bishops of Scotland warmly welcome Magnifica Humanitas (Magnificent Humanity), the first encyclical of Pope Leo XIV, as a timely and insightful contribution to one of the defining questions of our age. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes human life, this important document calls us to place the dignity of the human person at the heart of every technological advance.

We encourage the faithful, our schools and parish communities to read, study and pray with this landmark text.

To support this, the Office of Communications and Evangelisation will soon publish a parish study guide and other resources for small groups and parish use, helping communities to reflect more deeply on the opportunities and challenges of new technologies and their impact on human life.

Bishop John Keenan
President of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland

The wise men from the East were truth seekers. When they heard that the king of kings was coming into the world, they set out to find him.

Their reward was to meet the Child Jesus and experience his beautiful presence.

Their natural response was to bow down before Jesus with reverence and awe.

During these joyful days of Christmas and as we prepare to celebrate the Epiphany, may we be moved to search for Jesus. In the quiet of our hearts we can meet him in prayer.

In his beautiful presence, we can lay before him the gift of our love. This gift is even more precious to Jesus than the precious gifts the wise men presented to him.

Greg writes the Word of the Week as an encouragement and focus for you this week.
