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.

EVENTS

Season Of Creation 2024


Christian communities all over the world will come together to celebrate the Season of Creation and to care for our common home next month.

The Bishops’ Conference of Scotland’s Care of Creation Office is hosting two events across the season, which runs from 1st September to 4th October which are open to all.

News from the Commissions and Agencies

September 2024
Every diocese in Scotland was represented today at the first Season of Creation Conference hosted by the Bishops' Conference of Scotland Care of Creation Office - a great success! 💚🌎

Alongside SCIAF, Scottish Catholic Education Service and Eco-Congregation Scotland we facilitated discussions and shared ideas on how parishes and the whole church in Scotland can come together in friendship and community to share in the joy of God's creation - many inspirational seeds were planted and we look forward to seeing how they grow! 🌱

We had a great visit to Trinity High School yesterday to launch a project for their Caritas students. The young people will work alongside the Justice & Peace Group of St Anthony's and St Mark's Rutherglen to Learn, Pray and Advocate around a justice and peace topic in their parish community to fulfill their "parish hours" and achieve their Caritas Award. ⭐

Look out for updates over the coming months, wish them luck and above all pray for them as they embark on their Caritas journey. 🙏
