They took time out for photographs along with the Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Antonio Mennini. “It has been very encouraging to have among us the representative of the Successor of Peter in the person of His Excellency, the Apostolic Nuncio,” Archbishop Cushley added. “His visit allows us to pray together with him, to pray for the universal Church, for the Church in Scotland and to remember our Holy Father at Mass.” Also present for the photoshoot was the general secretary of the Bishops’ Conference, Mgr Hugh Bradley, and assistant general secretary, Fr Thomas Boyle.Among many other things, they are responsible for the smooth running of the Bishops’ Conference meetings, which deal with matters of common concern to the eight dioceses of 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.

    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.

    Norms for Priestly Formation BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE OF SCOTLAND Priests for Scotland NORMS FOR PRIESTLY FORMATION IN SCOTLAND June 2005 1 Norms for Priestly Formation FOREWORD The NORMS FOR PRIESTLY FORMATION IN SCOTLAND approved by the Congregation for Catholic Education in May 1992 have been revised and updated and again have been approved by the Congregation for Catholic Education in July 2004. The PRIESTS FOR SCOTLAND Commission, which succeeded the COMMISSION ON PRIESTLY FORMATION, is grateful to all who assisted in the re-writing of the Norms. The present document is the result of close collaboration with the Bishops’ Conference, Scottish seminary staffs, and many people engaged in the fields of human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral formation. The Bishops’ Conference of Scotland approved the publication of this document in November 2004.
