The Bishops of Scotland warmly welcome Magnifica Humanitas (Magnificent Humanity), the first encyclical of Pope Leo XIV, as a timely and insightful contribution to one of the defining questions of our age. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes human life, this important document calls us to place the dignity of the human person at the heart of every technological advance.

We encourage the faithful, our schools and parish communities to read, study and pray with this landmark text.

To support this, the Office of Communications and Evangelisation will soon publish a parish study guide and other resources for small groups and parish use, helping communities to reflect more deeply on the opportunities and challenges of new technologies and their impact on human life.

Bishop John Keenan
President of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland

Over the next three weeks a few of the Office team will be on hand after masses (see reverse of reading sheet for dates/locations) to help anyone not on the Parish Register to get signed up.

There will be no morning mass at St Margaret's next Saturday, 30th May, as we are welcoming the children to take their First Holy Communion at 11am. Please remember the children and their families in your prayers at this special time.

In January, we had the honour of being visited by Hungary’s President, Dr Tamás Sulyok during an official visit to the UK. Dr Sulyok, his wife and a delegation, paid their respects to St Margaret, visiting the relic in the Lady’s Chapel. They were received by Archbishop Leo Cushley.

President Sulyok presented our Parish with a special commemorative gift - a Herend porcelain Cross. The Herend Cross is a unique, handmaid porcelain that represents Hungarian applied art and heritage.

In recognition of how treasured this is, we have displayed this in the Lady’s Chapel.
Please take time when you are next at Mass to view the Cross and read more about it.



If you are inspired to further your devotion to St Margaret, take time in the Lady’s Chapel to pray in the presence of the relic of St Margaret. Also, you may wish to express your devotion by saying the Novena of St Margaret. We do so at St Margaret’s after morning Mass from 10th-18 every month.

👀 Please be vigilant for any suspicious emails which claim to be from Fr, priests or fellow parishioners asking for money. Unfortunately, there have been some scam emails reported.

✝ In this week's Spotlight, we are celebrating a very special gift from the Hungarian President from his visit earlier this year. It has been carefully displayed in the Lady's Chapel at St Margarets. We are all invited to view it and take a moment to pray with the relic of St Margaret, Pearl of Scotland.
