Bishops’ Conference of Scotland Communications

The Bishops' Conference of Scotland enables the Roman Catholic Bishops in Scotland to work together, undertaking 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.

The Bishops’ Conference held their November meeting at Schoenstatt retreat centre from 4 to 6 November. All eight of Scotland’s bishops attended. The meeting was chaired by Bishop Hugh Gilbert, President of the Conference. The bishops received reports from a number of agency Directors and National Commission members and discussed a range of issues of interest to the church.
