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 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. He encouraged the young people to rejoice and reflect that joy in caring for others and looking after the world. Glasgow Lord Provost Sadie Docherty joined in the celebrations.

  • 1 Catholic Schools in Scotland
    Catholic schools in Scotland: Mapping the contemporary debate and their continued existence in the 21 st century. by Stephen John McKinney A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Glasgow Faculty of Education University of Glasgow September 2007 1 SUMMARY The faith school debate in Scotland focuses almost exclusively on Catholic schools because they are the predominant form of faith schooling. Historically, the Catholic schools have had strong links with the Catholic Church and the wider Catholic community – a post-Reformation Catholic community that has a variety of national– cultural expressions but, ultimately, has strongest roots in the critical mass of immigrants who were part of the Irish Famine Diaspora. This Scottish-Irish Catholic Church and community, in some periods of history, have been subjected to structural and attitudinal sectarianism and appear to continue to be viewed with some ambivalence, and some suspicion, in contemporary Scottish society. This ambivalence often extends to Catholic schools, despite recent (widely publicised) educational success and perceived ‘social and moral’ success. This thesis seeks to understand this unique situation from an academic perspective. The history of Catholic schools and the Catholic community are examined using a variety of conceptual tools (primarily ‘postmodern critique of historiography’, ‘insider stories’ and ‘immigrant typology’). The postmodern critique of historiography is used to construct smaller narratives which also help to clarify the strengths and limitations of previous research and scholarship. The identification of the insider status and insider stories of the academics engaged in this debate enables insight into the emergence of a variety of histories and stories of a historically marginalised group.

Cardinal O’Brien traveled to Nigeria to be the principal concelebrating bishop at the Episcopal Ordination last Thursday, to represent both the Holy Father and St Andrews and Edinburgh Archdiocese, which ‘adopted’ Bauchi in the 1950s and sent priests to work there. “It gives me great joy being at this wonderful ordination of the first African bishop of Bauchi to realise I am in a long line of wonderful people forging and strengthening those links which have been of so much benefit both to Africa and to Scotland,” the cardinal said. New bishop Bishop Goltok is the second eldest of a family of ten and his father John was the mission cook in St John’s, Bauchi for more than 20 years, until hi death last year. The newly appointed bishop was parish priest of St Finbarr’s and treasurer of Jos Archdiocese from 2004 before Pope Benedict XVI appointed him as the first Nigerian bishop of Bauchi this February. During the Episcopal ordination, held at the grounds of the Immaculate Conception Secondary School on the outskirts of town, Cardinal O’Brien read the appointment letter from the Vatican and installed the new bishop with a charge for him to lead the Church well and to ensure that justice is done for all.

    T HE P ARISH OF S AINT A UGUSTINE C OATBRIDGE ! S COTLAND Twenty First Sunday of Ordinary Time 26 August 2 0 1 8 The World Meeting of Families? Pope Francis has released a video message ahead of his visit to Ireland for the World Meeting of Families, saying he hopes the festival will bring "renewed encouragement to families everywhere". The Pope will be in Ireland this weekend for a short visit when he will visit Knock Shrine, as well as lead liturgies in Croke Park and Phoenix Park before an estimated crowd of 500,000. The full text of his message can be found below: “Dear Friends, As I prepare to visit Ireland […] for the World Meeting of Families, I send a warm word of greeting to all the Irish people. I am excited at the thought of returning to Ireland. As you know, the World Meeting is a celebration of the beauty of God's plan for the family. It is also an occasion for families from all over the world to meet and support one another in living out their special vocation. Families today face many challenges in their efforts to embody faithful love, to bring up children with sound values and to be a leaven of goodness, love and mutual concern in the larger community. You know all this. I hope that this festival will be a source of renewed encouragement to families everywhere, especially those families that will be present in Dublin. May it remind us all of the essential place of the family in the life of society and in the building of a better future for today's young people.

St Columba’s Cathedral in Oban was filled to capacity on the evening of February 18 for the consecration of Bishop Brian McGee by Archbishop Leo Cushley, Bishop Joseph Toal and Bishop John Keenan. “Fr Brian is being sent to you, my dear brothers and sisters, precisely to preach the Good News to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken, anointed as he will shortly be, by the Gift of the Spirit and commissioned by God’s Church to serve you,” Archbishop Cushley said in the presence of Bishop Toal, whom Bishop McGee follows as diocesan bishop, and Bishop Keenan, ‘up until now my boss,’ according to the new bishop who was vicar general in Paisley. The Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh and the bishops of Motherwell and Paisley were joined at the celebration by the Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Antonio Mennini; Cardinal Sean Brady of Ireland; their brother bishops in Scotland, including Bishops’ Conference President Archbishop Philip Tartaglia; the clergy and parishioners of the geographically large Argyll and the Isles Diocese; and the families of the diocese’s bishops, past and present.
