Pastoral letter from the Catholic Bishops of Scotland on the Scottish Parliament Election.
SCIAF Sunday
My dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
On this fourth Sunday of Lent, I write to you, on behalf of all the Bishops of Scotland, to thank you for your continued support of the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund, our Church’s own relief and development agency.
Pastoral Letter on Final Assisted Suicide Vote
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Scotland stands at a moment of profound moral consequence. In the coming weeks, the Scottish Parliament will cast its final vote on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill; legislation that would, for the first time in our nation’s history, permit physician‑assisted suicide. As your shepherds, entrusted with the care of souls and the protection of human dignity, we write to you with deep concern.
Lenten Lunches
There’s a long-standing tradition that Lenten Lunches take place every Friday during Lent at 12:30 pm, with proceeds going to a charity that will be announced later. This year, all events will take place at Holy Trinity Church, except on March 13, which will be held at Westhill Community Church.
