Flourish-July-2021.Pdf News • Spirituality • Culture • Education • Life OfficialFLOURISH Journal of the Archdiocese of Glasgow July 2021 I am with you always – this is the promise the Lord made to his disciples... They are the words that I, as Bishop of Rome, and an elderly person like yourselves, would like to address to you on this first World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly… – POPE FRANCIS by ronnie convery ope Francis has sent a mov- Ping and powerful letter to the elderly as the Church prepares to celebrate the first ever World Day of Grandparents and Elderly People. The celebration which will be marked this year on July 25 is intended to place the focus of the Church on the often hid- den but heroic work done by older peo- ple and is intended to thank them and encourage them. The letter, written in a deeply personal way by the Holy Father is sure to touch the hearts of senior citizens and all who care for them. Flourish has therefore de- cided to carry an abridged version of the letter and dedicates this special issue to our older readers. In the words of the Holy Father … “The whole Church is close to you – to us – and cares about you, loves you and does not want to leave you alone!” Continued on page 4 cardinal great hunger parliament Remembering Famine Dumbarton’s Cardinal Tom memorial to John is new 20 years on be unveiled Speaker full report page 9-11 full report page 2 full report page 5 2 news FLOURISH July 2021 Irish famine memorial will grace St Mary’s cotland’s first memo- by brian the church re- other million fled starva- rial dedicated solely swanson garded as the tion in the Great Hunger Sto the dead and displaced spiritual home years from 1845 to 1852 with Irish victims of the Great of the impover- 100,000 eventually finding Hunger will be unveiled in ished Catholic families who a new life in Glasgow. the grounds of St Mary’s in were forced to seek a new Celtic Football Club was the Calton later this month life in Glasgow during one founded at St Mary’s, ini- after a lengthy campaign of the darkest periods in tially as a way of raising by the descendants of those Irish history more than 170 money to alleviate poverty it commemorates. years ago, when the country among the Irish families The stainless steel sculp- was devastated by the po- whose descendants now ac- ture, created by Donegal- tato famine. count for around a third of based artist John McCarron, It is estimated that a mil- Glasgow’s population. will stand in the grounds of lion people died and an- The same generos- ity which distinguished the community who supported Brother Walfrid in his work St Nicholas Care Fund in the 1880s, was evident in A charity of the Archdiocese of Glasgow the fundraising campaign to build the memorial which St. Nicholas Care Fund continues to offer grant support will be soon be numbered to any group that is supporting disadvantaged people. among more than a hun- Schools, churches and community groups can submit dred such spaces in towns applications to us at any time. and cities all over the world.

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. 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.

  • Supporting the Stem Transition Between School and University
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 4 & 5 SEPTEMBER 2014, UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE, THE NETHERLANDS SUPPORTING THE STEM TRANSITION BETWEEN SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY Avril THOMSON, Phillip SAYER, Andrew McLAREN and Derek LITTLE Faculty of Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland ABSTRACT This paper sets out to review the relationship between Schools and Universities in the West of Scotland with the strategic aim of widening access to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) based subjects. With the changing nature of education in Scottish schools because of the Curriculum for Excellence and the requirement for increasing, the number of students who participate in STEM subjects at university. An eight-person research team was assembled at the University of Strathclyde to investigate, support and raise awareness of the key factors affecting successful STEM transition from secondary school to university. The group made up from students and academics was a novel approach and aimed at developing their knowledge of the current Scottish education system whilst developing partnerships with secondary schools in the local Glasgow area. Several peer discussion groups were conducted as part of the methodology and it was through these that ideas, such as a student elective scheme allowing university students to enter schools and run project based learning workshops, could benefit the transition strategy for young people to enter the STEM based disciplines at university. The outlined proposals, when implemented, have the possibility of negating the previous inconsistency of previous attempts to address the problem of successful STEM transition. Four key project deliverables were identified that had the potential to develop the strategy necessary to encourage and develop school pupils into the STEM subject areas and with the help of staff and pupils, the researchers were able to identify potential ideas and solutions to facilitate this.

  • The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow
    Servants to St. Mungo: The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow by Daniel MacLeod A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Daniel MacLeod, May, 2013 ABSTRACT SERVANTS TO ST MUNGO: THE CHURCH IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY GLASGOW Daniel MacLeod Advisors: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. Elizabeth Ewan Dr. Peter Goddard This thesis investigates religious life in Glasgow, Scotland in the sixteenth century. As the first full length study of the town’s Christian community in this period, this thesis makes use of the extant Church documents to examine how Glaswegians experienced Christianity during the century in which religious change was experienced by many communities in Western Europe. This project includes research from both before and after 1560, the year of the Reformation Parliament in Scotland, and therefore eschews traditional divisions used in studies of this kind that tend to view 1560 as a major rupture for Scotland’s religious community. Instead, this study reveals the complex relationships between continuity and change in Glasgow, showing a vibrant Christian community in the early part of the century and a changed but similarly vibrant community at the century’s end. This project attempts to understand Glasgow’s religious community holistically. It investigates the institutional structures of the Church through its priests and bishops as well as the popular devotions of its parishioners. It includes examinations of the sacraments, Church discipline, excommunication and religious ritual, among other Christian phenomena. The dissertation follows many of these elements from their medieval Catholic roots through to their Reformed Protestant derivations in the latter part of the century, showing considerable links between the traditions.
