Today marks the 18th anniversary of the passing of Bishop Stephen McGill, the second Bishop of Paisley. 

---

In an obituary in The Herald, it was noted that the Right Reverend Stephen McGill "bridged the gap between the pre-Vatican II era of Catholicism and the post-conciliar Church".

In 1960, he was named by Pope John XXIII as Bishop of Argyll and the Isles. On the death of Bishop James Black in 1968, Bishop McGill was translated by Pope Paul VI to the see of Paisley as his successor. There he remained until his retirement in March 1988.

He died on 9th November 2005.

Requiescat in pace.
