Catholic Church and Church of Scotland release “Declaration of Friendship”

Bishop John invites you to join him in the Easter Octave celebration of Mass in St. Conval's, our Diocesan Cemetery on Sunday 24th April at 2pm

Bishop John invites the priests and people of the Diocese to celebrate the Chrism Mass with him on Wednesday 13th April 2022 at 7pm in St. Mirin’s Cathedral. This celebration is a great opportunity for us to celebrate and express our faith together. Even more so this year as we have not been able to gather and celebrate this special mass since the beginning of the pandemic. During the Mass the priests of the Diocese will renew their priestly commitment and the oils will be blessed for use in the celebration of the Sacraments throughout the Diocese in the coming year. Refreshments in the Cathedral hall after mass. All welcome.

On Sunday 24 April 2022 we will celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday at St Mary's Church, 163 George Street, Paisley PA1 2UN beginning with a Holy Hour at 4 p.m. led by Deacon John Morrison and Holy Mass at 5 p.m. celebrated by Bishop John Keenan and Monsignor Joe Burke. Please come along and join us. Remember the promise of the Lord, Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day, the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. Our world needs God's mercy more now than ever before. Amen
