The Bishops' Conference of Scotland

The Roman Catholic Bishops in Scotland work together to undertake nationwide initiatives through their Commissions and Agencies.

The members of the Bishops' Conference are the Bishops of the eight Scottish Dioceses. Where appropriate the Bishops Emeriti (retired) provide a much welcomed contribution to the work of the conference. The Bishops' Conference of Scotland is a permanently constituted assembly which meets regularly throughout the year to address relevant business matters.

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. 

To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

The Pilot Annual Report on Safeguarding by the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors just launched. The Report was made at the request of Pope Francis in 2022: “I would like you, on an annual basis, to prepare for me a report on the Church’s initiatives for the protection of minors and vulnerable adults... This report will be a factor of transparency and accountability and — I hope — will provide a clear audit of our progress in this effort.” The Annual Report offers an analysis of several Church entities and includes:
- A detailed profile;
- A Safeguarding overview;
- The Commission’s critical observations of the Safeguarding challenges faced;
- The Commission’s ensuing recommendations

The Report details the progress as well as the existing gaps in Safeguarding procedures and protocols. Read the complete Annual Report through the link https://www.tutelaminorum.org/annual-report/
