Dear Prime Minister
On behalf of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland and the Scottish Catholic community, may I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. I was pleased to note your intent to create a government of service to all and wish you well in this noble endeavour.
The Bishops of Scotland are acutely aware of the challenges our country, and the wider world, currently face, not least the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Holy Land, and the continuing difficulties faced by the poorest and most vulnerable in our society.
May I assure you, your family, and the government you lead, of my prayers as you confront these many challenges.
Yours sincerely,
Bishop Hugh Gilbert
Bishop of Aberdeen
President of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland
