The Bishops' Conference of Scotland

Young people from Sacred Heart & Saint Lucy's Cumbernauld, have been preparing for Pentecost in a beautiful way, with the Confirmandi visiting each classroom to lead the novena prayer between Ascension and Pentecost.

A wonderful witness of faith, prayer and leadership from the young people of the parish as they continue their journey towards Confirmation. 🙏

The Office for the Care of Creation was established by the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland in 2021. Inspired by Pope Francis’ documents Laudato si' and Laudate Deum, the office provides advice, support, and guidance to dioceses and parishes as they assess their carbon footprint and discern practical ways to work towards carbon neutrality.

The office also works closely with organisations including Eco-Congregation Scotland, SCIAF, and Justice & Peace Scotland on issues affecting both local communities and the wider global family. Through collaboration, education, advocacy, and practical initiatives, the office seeks to help Catholics across Scotland respond to the call to care for our common home with faith, responsibility, and hope.

Gospel
John 17:20-26
‘May they become perfectly one.’

At that time: Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and praying said, ‘[Holy Father,] I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.’
