JOSEPH As you will know Pope Francis declared in December 2020 that the year 8th December 2020 to 8th December 2021 would be declared the Year of St. Joseph. This coincides with the 150th Anniversary of Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. As a result of this Bishop Toal has invited all parishes and diocesan groups to take part in a Diocese wide Novena to St Joseph through the last nine days in April, leading to the Feast of St Joseph the Worker on Saturday May 1st. The intention of the Novena is to seek St Joseph’s protection in our present need, particularly for our families and young people. Various prayers are available - a set below been commended to the Bishop by one of the priests, along with Pope Francis’ prayer at the end of his letter promulgating the Year of St Joseph. https://yearofstjoseph.org/devotions/prayers/ Further details will be provided nearer the time.

John Gillen; Scottish Parliament Election 2021 - Putting Human Life and Dignity at the Centre A letter from the Catholic Bishops of Scotland Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This election presents us with an opportunity to play our part in putting human life and the inviolable dig- nity of the human person at the centre of Scotland’s political discourse. We often see politics through a party prism, which can create a divisive, and occasionally fractious, politi- cal environment. Whilst party politics can be an important consideration, particularly in the Scottish Par- liament list system, it is individuals who will make up the parliament and form a government; and some of the most important issues, including abortion and assisted suicide, are commonly decided by a con- science, or free, vote. Therefore, it is critical to ascertain candidates’ personal values and opinions and not concentrate solely on party policies. As Catholics we have a duty: to share the Gospel and to help form the public conscience on key moral is- sues. It is a duty of both faith and citizenship. This election is an opportunity to be the effective witness our Baptism calls us to be. The new parliament and government will be tasked with leading the recovery from the damage wrought by the current health crisis and to tackle the significant impact it has had on many aspects of life including health care, mental health and wellbeing, religious freedom, and care for the poor. It must also build on the positives arising from the Pandemic, including caring for the most vulnerable, and a renewed sense of respect for human life, human dignity, and the value of community. These are some of the issues you may want to consider in the forthcoming election: Beginning and end of life It is the duty of parliamentarians to uphold the most basic and fundamental human right to life. Elected representatives ought to recognise the existence of human life from the moment of conception and be committed to the protection of human life at every stage. Caring for the unborn and their mothers is a fundamental measure of a caring and compassionate society; a society which puts human dignity at the centre. We ought to be mindful of a further attempt to legalise assisted suicide in Scotland, likely to happen in this parliament. Legalising assisted suicide or euthanasia suggests that some lives are not worth living, contrary to the Christian belief that every life has equal dignity and value. It is incumbent upon our parlia- mentarians to show compassion for the sick and dying. This is not achieved by assisted suicide or eutha- nasia but by ensuring support is provided through caring and attentive politics, including investment in palliative care. Family and Work Society relies on the building block of the family to exist and flourish. The love of man and woman in mar- riage and openness to new life is the basic, fundamental cell upon which every society is built. The wellbe- ing of Scotland and its future depends on the flourishing of family life and government should respond to this reality with policies creating economic and fiscal advantages for families with children. The pandemic has placed immeasurable pressure on businesses and many people have lost their liveli- hood. The state has a duty to sustain business activities by creating conditions which will ensure job opportunities, especially in times of crisis. This must be accompanied by a just wage to provide a dig- nified livelihood for the worker and their family. Poverty, Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Sadly, poverty remains a scourge for too many people. The marginalised, the homeless, and the lonely and isolated have been cast further adrift because of the pandemic. And poverty now affects 24% of chil- dren in Scotland. We need elected representatives who respect a preferential option for the poor, who are willing to prioritise their need and respect their human dignity. Our government must also work with the international community to adopt an even more effective strat- egy against human trafficking and modern slavery, so that in every part of the world, men and women may no longer be used as a means to an end, and that their inviolable dignity will always be respected. Environment The next group of MSPs will be tasked with protecting our neighbours at home and abroad from the pov- erty and climate crises which continue to rage on. In November Glasgow will play host to the COP26 in- ternational climate change summit. We should listen to Pope Francis’ call to ‘hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor’ by lifting up the voices of the global south and coming together to rebuild our Common Home in a way that leaves no-one behind.

A SPIRIT of joy filled St Andrew’s Cathedral as children and young people with additional support needs joined Archbishop Philip Tartaglia for Mass. The theme ‘Rejoice’ reflected the Gospel passage of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth – whose child in her womb leapt for joy. The Archbishop spoke of the gifts of life and love and the great joy which the births of John the Baptist and Jesus brought to the world.

Schools had to close for 5 months. During that time, teaching and learning was carried out remotely and supervised in person by parents and carers rather than by teachers. For more senior pupils and their teachers, there was the worry of the SQA examinations. I do hope your pupils were awarded the grades they deserved. Coming back to school, too, has been a significant epidemiological, educational and socio- political issue. Should schools re-open or not? Should they re-open partially or fully? How vulnerable are children and young people to the virus? How much could they spread it without knowing? How vulnerable are teachers and other school staff? What measures needed to be put in place in our schools to make them safe or at least to minimise risk? What will teaching and learning be like in these circumstances? These, and more, are questions that have been aired and debated ad infinitum over the summer weeks. I appreciate very much how these issues have impacted on the personal and professional well-being of teachers. I applaud the commitment of all teachers to their profession and to the children and young people that they educate so carefully and well.

  • Rt Rev. Joseph Toal STB KC*HS Coursington Road Motherwell Bishop of Motherwell
    Diocesan Centre Rt Rev. Joseph Toal STB KC*HS Coursington Road Motherwell Bishop of Motherwell ML1 1PP Tribute to Archbishop Philip Tartaglia RIP On behalf of everyone in the Diocese of Motherwell, I express our shock and sadness on the sudden death of Archbishop Philip Tartaglia. We offer the support of our prayers to his family and the community of the Archdiocese of Glasgow, and join with them in commending his soul to the tender mercy of our Loving Father through the saving power of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the years I have shared with him in the episcopal ministry, I have heard him repeatedly express his steadfast belief in Christ and the need for Him to be at the heart of all we say and do in the Church, his Body. His faith was straight-forward and re-assuring, and from that came the wise counsel which he offered in the deliberations about, and the decisions taken, in so many areas of the Church’s Mission in Glasgow Archdiocese and in the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland. As his brother bishops, we will miss him greatly, and that sense of loss is shared with so many others. It is good to remember with gratitude his priestly minister before he became a Bishop, in the parishes he served in and in the seminaries he taught and was the rector in. Those who attended his classes remember him as a gifted lecturer, and in later years he looked back with some nostalgia to these times of theological investigation and teaching as a time of much fulfilment and contentment.
