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

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 1^st September to 4^th October which are open to all.
