Lourdes is not only a place that can strengthen and deepen the faith of the sick and elderly who go there, but impact the life of young Catholics in immeasurable ways. When I first signed up for Lourdes in 2008 I was 20 years old and just as nerv- ous as I was excited about making the pil- grimage there.

  • Chapter 1 William Semple and the Foundation of the College
    Chapter 1 William Semple and the Foundation of the College Among the decrees issued by the general council of the Catholic Church, held in the city of Trent at the time of the reformation, a considerable number dealt with measures thought necessary to correct abuses and failings among the clergy. In an attempt to improve the situation for the future, the council ordered, in particular, that the preparation of young men for the priesthood be conducted in special training centres, to be called seminaries, which were to be set up throughout the Catholic world. It is undeniable that the catastrophic state in which the Catholic Church found itself in Scotland after 1560 was due, in no small measure, to many of the clergy having been ill-prepared, spiritually and intellectually, for their work. If the Council of Trent’s instruction regarding the establishment of seminaries was worth heeding in any country, that country was Scotland. But in the decades that followed the Scottish reformation, the Catholics there were in no position to be able to comply with the council’s decree. It was this impossibility of having seminaries in Scotland that led to the establishment of various institutions on the continent, where young Scotsmen who believed themselves called to the priesthood might go to receive the appropriate training. Such Scottish seminaries were set up in Flanders, at Paris and at Rome. One other was also established. Its location was Spain, a not unexpected choice, since that country regarded itself as the bastion of the old faith, with a special mission to combat the heretics of England and Scotland.

Covid-19 Virus Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, In this time of trial we, the Bishops of Scotland, wish to send you a word of reassurance and encouragement. We are all facing much uncertainty, anxiety and an unpredictable future. This situation touches on every aspect of our lives, individually and collectively. Sacred Scripture calls us repeatedly not to fear and to look to the help that comes to us from above. We are called to support one another in every way we can, especially those who are most vulnerable, through age or underlying conditions. Even in the midst of any necessary “distancing” we must stand by each other. We ask you to pray for the sick, those caring for them, for those in positions of responsibility with difficult decisions to make, indeed for our whole country and the entire human family. Most of all, we are being asked to put our trust in the living God who has created everything to be and to flourish and whose providence guides the course of world events. We put our trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, and the true physician of our souls and bodies. During this Lent, especially, let us all take the opportunity to deepen our relationship with God. As your bishops and with our priests and deacons, we assure you of our continuing commitment to your spiritual, pastoral and sacramental needs.

The lockdown Bishops visiting East Jerusalem prevented me from going there in January with the Holy I Land Coordination pilgrimage. This is a pilgrimage like no other. When the dozen or more bishops of the Coordination have their annual trip to the Holy Land it is not your usual pilgrimage. We are not there to visit the sites or the sacred shrines, we are not there to trace the footsteps of Jesus, we are not there to see ancient churches, we are there to see people. It is the Christian people and not the holy places that we go to visit. And that means we go to places the normal pilgrim would never visit, such as Gaza. It takes a bit of determination to get What is uplifting though is that we meet so many good to Gaza. There are a lot people.
