“Come and see.” John 1:39 Could God be calling you to the priesthood? Priests for Scotland will hold a “Come and See” weekend on 5–6 December 2026 for men who are discerning a possible vocation to the priesthood. The weekend offers an opportunity to step away from the usual routine, spend time in prayer and begin exploring that call more deeply. If this is a question you have been carrying, contact your diocesan Vocations Director for more information.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Don’t let tomorrow be Suicide Assistance Day. MPs must vote to reject Lauren Edwards’ Bill.
📆 Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. This powerful video from Norwich City highlights just how many people suffer in silence when they don’t have to. It's time to change the narrative on suicide. If you’re struggling, call Samaritans on: 116 123.

Of all the gifts I received last night, this was by far the best! A framed print that immortalises the joke that went viral and still haunts me 😳 😂

Thanks to the clergy and people of St Mirin’s Cathedral parish for inviting me back to celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving last night, for almost 6 very happy years there as Curate. May God bless you all!
