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

SCIAF has launched an urgent appeal to support communities devastated by the powerful earthquake that struck Myanmar on Friday last week.

Working through trusted local organisations on the ground, SCIAF’s network partners are providing life-saving assistance, including water, food, shelter and other essential items to those most in need. SCIAF supported long-term development projects in Myanmar until 2017.

Thanks to our trusted local partners through the Caritas Internationalis network, we are able to respond swiftly and effectively, providing essential supplies and services to those who have lost everything.

🙏Please remember the people affected by the earthquake in Myanmar and surrounding areas in your prayers and make a donation today, if you can: https://pulse.ly/qvyeeepqso

For the first time ever the entire Bishops’ Conference visited our Scottish MPs at Westminster, organised by Anthony Horan our Parliamentary Officer. We met with the Scottish Office, celebrated Mass in Westminster and had an open meeting with the MPs for dialogue and building relationships. I was delighted that all 4 of the MPs who represent the people of our diocese participated in the Mass: Brendan O’Hara (Argyll, Bute & South Lochaber), Angus MacDonald (Inverness, Skye & West Ross-shire), Torcuil Crichton (Na h-Eileanan an Iar) and Irene Campbell (not in photo but represents Arran). The MPs expressed their gratitude for our visit which they described as supportive. Issues raised included sectarianism, migration and racism, the cutting of Overseas Development Aid, welfare cuts, child poverty and (toxic) social media.
