With just over a month to go before the Pope arrives Cardinal Keith O’Brien of St Andrews and Edinburgh and Archbishop Mario Conti of Glasgow admitted the run up to the Papal visit had not been without problems. Both men said they were confident the Pope’s time here would be a resounding success however. Benefits and boosts Cardinal O’Brien said that the Church had not had long to prepare for the Pope’s arrival but the benefits would be extraordinary. “The Bishops of Scotland believe that the reli- gious meaning and social value of a personal visit to our country from the Successor of Peter far out- weigh the practical and financial problems which we continue to face and try to solve,” he said. Archbishop Conti said that the presence of the Pope would give the Church in Scotland a vital boost after a difficult period. “At times we may all feel the Church has in recent months been under hostile scrutiny and that clergy particularly have been sifted like wheat,” he said. “We need the presence of Simon Peter to bolster our Faith and give us new courage to face the difficulties and ease the pain which the Church and each one of us must necessarily encounter in an imperfect and ever changing world.” Feast of hope and praise The cardinal also said the Pope would have a tremendous impact on Scotland saying that on the Feast of the Assumption, ‘a feast so full of hope and praise, we thank God that our country will welcome the Pope.’ parishioners to welcome the Holy Father in per- Pope Benedict XVI.’ “Such visits are a rare Cardinal Keith O’Brien (above left top) and Archbishop “By a providential coincidence, the Pope’s visit son and to have their Faith strengthened by this occurrence, and only the second of a reigning Mario Conti (above left bottom) have sent out pastoral to Scotland will take place on the Feast of St special moment of encounter with the Successor Pope in the long history of our country,” he said. letters asking parishioners to support the visit of Pope Ninian who is honoured as the first missionary to of Peter.” “It will be an historic occasion.

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.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO CARDINAL WINNING ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARRIVAL OF ST NINIAN IN SCOTLAND To my Venerable Brother Cardinal Thomas Winning Archbishop of Glasgow As the Church in Scotland returns in memory to its origins and celebrates the 1600th anniversary of the arrival of St Ninian in Galloway in 397 A.D., I send you cordial greetings in the Lord and ask you to convey to your brother Bishops and to the clergy, religious and lay faithful the assurance of my prayerful participation in this joyous commemoration. The life and apostolate of St Ninian are traditionally considered as marking the introduction of Christianity into your country. This then is a time for all Scottish Christians to give thanks to our heavenly Father who, through his chosen instruments, especially Ninian, Mungo and Columba, caused to shine in your hearts "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (cf. 2 Cor 4:6). A Briton by birth, Ninian’s education was essentially Roman and after his ordination as a Bishop, probably in Rome, he returned to Scotland as its first missionary. His foundation of Candida Casa in Galloway in south-west Scotland, later to be known as Whithorn, was the beginning of a vital centre of monastic spiritual life and evangelizing activity which, under Ninian’s inspiration, spread the Gospel message northwards and eastwards over much of the country, as witnessed to in so many place-names and local traditions which refer to him. Ninian’s mission to Scotland should be seen as a part of the wider picture of the great missionary enterprises which brought Christianity to every corner of Europe during the first millennium.

  • Catrine's Other Churches
    OTHER CHURCHES IN CATRINE THE UNITED SECESSION CHURCH (Later: The United Presbyterian Church) he 1891 Census states that in its early days the population of Catrine “…contained a goodly sprinkling of Dissenters…some of whom travelled to Cumnock to the TWhig Kirk at Rigg, near Auchinleck; but a much larger number went to the Secession Church at Mauchline. The saintly Mr Walker, minister there, becoming frail and not able to attend to all his flock, this (ie.1835) was thought to be a suitable time to take steps to have a church in Catrine”. An application for a site near the centre of the village was made to the Catrine Cotton Works Company, but this was refused by the then resident proprietor who said that: “He could not favour dissent.” A meeting of subscribers was held on 16th June 1835 when it was decided to approach Mr Claud Alexander of Ballochmyle with a request for ground. Mr Alexander duly granted them a site at the nominal sum of sixpence per fall. (A fall was equal to one square perch – about 30.25 square yards.) Another meeting of subscribers on 12th April 1836 authorised obtaining a loan of up to £350 to cover the cost of erecting a building on the site at the foot of Cowan Brae (i.e. at the corner where the present day Mauchline Road joins Ballochmyle Street). James Ingram of St.Germain Street, father of the eminent architect Robert Samson Ingram of Kilmarnock, was appointed to draw out plans. A proposal was approved to place a bottle containing the County newspaper in the foundation.

  • Cardinal Winning Lecture 2019
    Cardinal Winning Lecture Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem Glasgow, 16 November 2019 Dear Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Dr Roisín Coll, and distinguished Academics of the University, Your Grace Archbishop Philip Tartaglia and brother bishops of Scotland, Ladies and Gentlemen. When I say that I am delighted to join you this morning, I am not being diplomatic; I mean it. I am most grateful for the joint invitation from the University and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Scotland to give the Cardinal Winning Lecture this Year. Real bishops, like the gentlemen here present, have dioceses, the names of which are well known to you. Bishops like your servant have a titular see, normally the name of a suppressed diocese, often in North Africa. In my case I am more fortunate- it pays to have friends at court - I am no less than the Titular Archbishop of Hodelm or Haddam, which is just outside Lockerbie. It was a monastic foundation established by St Mungo and is to be found in the modern Diocese of Galloway, so I renew my promise to Bishop William Nolan not to cause him any trouble. So, I have a cherished connection with Scotland. Cardinal Thomas Winning was Archbishop of Glasgow when I was ordained priest in Liverpool 42 years ago. My own Archbishop was Derek Warlock. The two men were chalk and cheese. Warlock was made to be a mandarin in Whitehall, whereas he once remarked that Thomas Winning was "a bit of a street-fighter". Everyone recognised in Cardinal Winning a man of depth Catholic faith, a committed pastor of 1 God's people and a man of conviction and principle.

  • News from the Catholic Church in Scotland Press Release
    NEWS FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN SCOTLAND PRESS RELEASE: Scottish Catholic Archives at Columba House to close as of Monday 8 April: Columba House, an early 19th-century townhouse in Edinburgh, which has been home to the Scottish Catholic Archives for over 50 years, is to close to researchers and members of the public from Monday 8 April 2013 until further notice. The archive collections are the responsibility of the Trustees of the Scottish Catholic Heritage Collections Museum (commonly called the Blairs Museum), who have taken the decision after receiving reports from specialists in archive conservation and historic buildings. The immediate cause of the closure has been the discovery of mould on items in the collection, which require urgent conservation treatment. This is the result of dampness in Columba House¹s main storage area in the sub-basement. Reports spanning a period of more than thirty years indicate that this has been a recurrent problem. Fortunately, an Agreement is already in place between the Trustees and the University of Aberdeen in terms of which the University agreed to house the archives on long-term loan. They will be accommodated in the University¹s 21st-century Special Collections Centre in the iconic Sir Duncan Rice Library. It is clear that the transfer from Edinburgh to Aberdeen is now not only desirable but also essential, to protect and preserve the historic archives for posterity, and to make them again available for research as soon as possible. Archbishop Mario Conti, Chairman of the Trustees, said: “We have emphasised for some time that Columba House was not fit for purpose.
