The Bishops' Conference of Scotland



The School for Synodality hosts 'Pathways for Implementation: next steps on our synod journey'

Saturday, 18th October 2025
11:00am - 1:30pm (Zoom)

BOOK TICKETS


The Final Document of the Synod Assembly was wide ranging and inspirational, and now it's time to progress to the next steps at grass-roots level as we seek to embed synodality in our everyday Catholic life and culture. Includes prayer, small group sharing, testimony, and keynote speaker Bishop Brendan Leahy of the Limerick Diocese in Ireland. Come and explore the next steps of the synodal journey together!

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

🤍TOGETHER FOR SANCTUARY

Recent events across the UK have left many of our brothers and sisters from various faith and cultural backgrounds feeling targeted and vulnerable.

We're resharing these photos from our "Together For Sanctuary" service, hosted earlier this year alongside Scottish Faiths Action for Refugees at The Immaculate Conception in Maryhill, as a reminder of the strength we find in community.

"Together For Sanctuary" brought together Glaswegians and fellow Scots from all walks of life in a promise to stand in solidarity, to celebrate our diverse cultures, and to listen to one another's stories. It was a beautiful evening of shared prayer, food, and friendship.

Inspired by the spirit of this gathering, may we commit to rejecting division and hostility wherever we see it and instead respond daily to Jesus' call to love our neighbour.
