The Immaculate Conception
My dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
On this fourth Sunday of Lent, I write to you, on behalf of all the Bishops of Scotland, to thank you for your continued support of the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund, our Church’s own relief and development agency.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Scotland stands at a moment of profound moral consequence. In the coming weeks, the Scottish Parliament will cast its final vote on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill; legislation that would, for the first time in our nation’s history, permit physician‑assisted suicide. As your shepherds, entrusted with the care of souls and the protection of human dignity, we write to you with deep concern.
Following the success of our 2023 series, our parish will launch an all-new Youth Alpha Series on Friday, February 13, 2026, at 7 pm in the Church Hall. The series will continue on select Fridays thereafter.
Unpredictable events, such as challenging weather or difficult road conditions, can arise unexpectedly. I recommend subscribing to the parish WhatsApp channel if you use the app. It is a one-way communication tool designed for short-notice, last-minute announcements, and your identity will remain anonymous.
There was a series of four talks on Christian individual prayer last Lent. They were recorded and are now available on YouTube. You can access the playlist here or watch it below:
