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

💚You are warmly invited to join us in celebration of Holy Mass to mark the 60th Anniversary of SCIAF.

This special occasion offers us the opportunity to give thanks for six decades of walking in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in need, promoting human dignity, justice, and peace across the world.

We would be honoured by your presence as we unite in faith to renew our commitment to build a just and compassionate world, inspired by the Gospel.

Ahead of the Mass, we also invite you to take part in a special pilgrimage walk. The route will take us through the peaceful paths of Glasgow Green and along the banks of the River Clyde — a chance to walk together in nature, prayer and reflection.
