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.

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. 

To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

As our seminarians—Kieran Burt, Christopher Igwe, Aidan Kelly, and Matthew O'Neill—return to seminary, let’s come together in prayer that they may have a fruitful year ahead.

We pray especially for Kieran Burt, from our own parish of St Joseph, Blantyre and for Christopher Igwe, from Our Lady of Lourdes RC Church, East Kilbride, who are both preparing for their diaconate ordinations this coming year.

Please also continue to pray for more vocations to the priesthood in the Motherwell Diocese

Missionary Children’s Mass – first Friday of October 📆

Last year the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland decided that the first Friday of October should be Missionary Children’s Day.

A Missionary Children/Holy Childhood Day is celebrated in most countries where the Church is established. The Bishops suggested that it could be incorporated into a first Friday Mass in those parishes where schools celebrate the first Friday.


Through the efforts of school children across Scotland, Missio has funded projects to help children across the world. By praying, fundraising and working together, we have helped Catholic children become missionaries themselves and ambassadors for Children Helping Children.
