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.

Catholic Bishops of Scotland Offer Congratulations to the New Prime Minister

The Catholic Bishops of Scotland have written to the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, offering their congratulations on his appointment and assuring him of their prayers and good wishes as he begins this important public service.

As a Catholic, the Prime Minister will be familiar with the Church’s enduring commitment to the dignity of every human person and to the promotion of the common good – principles which lie at the heart of Catholic social teaching. We hope these values will underpin his leadership, particularly in serving the poor, the vulnerable and those on the margins of society, and in advancing the cause of peace, justice and reconciliation both at home and abroad.

We assure the Prime Minister of our prayers for wisdom, courage and integrity as he undertakes the responsibilities of this high office. We look forward to working constructively with him and his Government on the many issues that affect the lives and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities, and we pray that the United Kingdom will continue to use its influence in the service of peace, justice and human dignity throughout the world.

Bishop John Keenan

President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Scotland

In a world shadowed by unrest, violence, and disregard for the sanctity of life—whether in the womb, in illness, or in times of war—we stand united as beacons of light and hope. In this Jubilee Year of Hope, we come together to proclaim a powerful truth: life is sacred, and love will prevail.

With hearts full of faith, we echo the beautiful words of Scripture: "Think of the love the Father has lavished on us by letting us be called His children—and that is what we are!" As beloved children of God, we turn to Mary, the Blessed Virgin—Mother of our Saviour and Mother of the Church—asking for her tender intercession.

Join us at Maidens Beach, Girvan, Ayrshire at 1pm on Saturday, 2nd August 2025 as we pray the Holy Rosary together. We gather to uplift the dignity of every human life and to pray for lasting peace in our world.

Let this be a moment of grace, unity, and joy. Come with hope. Come with love. Let us be a radiant witness to the truth that every life matters and that God’s love conquers all.

All are welcome—please come and be part of this powerful prayer for life and peace.
