Consultation Meeting on Scottish Diocesan Structures:

An open meeting, to which you are most welcome to attend, to participate in the Consultation on the Structures of Catholic Dioceses in Scotland will take place on Monday 25th May in St Bride’s Centre, Motherwell, at 7pm.

The format of this meeting will be a Conversation in the Spirit in which those present will be invited to share their thinking on the following questions:

• Where do we see good examples of mission in our parishes, deanery, diocese and country?
• Where does mission need to develop or even begin? What are the barriers to better mission and what can encourage it?
• Does the present structure of eight dioceses in Scotland support mission? Does our Diocese already have all that it needs? Would it help if we shared resources with another diocese or dioceses? Would it help if our Diocese merged with another diocese?

It is intended that all opinions, including minority positions, will be recorded and the report of the meeting sent to Bishop Toal by 31st May. The Bishop will feed the report into the diocesan submission for the national discussion with the other bishops. It is intended that the national report will be submitted to the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome to make them aware of how Scottish Catholics understand the Church’s Mission in our country today and the diocesan structures which will best serve this Mission.

Once again St Barbara’s will be running a Bottle Stall at our local Gala Day on Saturday 13th June. Thanks to your support last year we managed to raise £650 and we would appreciate your help once again by donating bottles. From next weekend there will be a box at the back of the church for any donations. Thank you.
