Year of Faith

Solemnity of Corpus Christi - Sunday 2 June 2013

Marking the Year of Faith, Pope Francis will preside at an hour of Eucharistic Adoration in St Peter's Basilica at 5.00 pm Rome time on Sunday 2 June, the day on which we will be celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi.  The Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation invites us to join with the Holy Father in a synchronised period of Eucharistic Adoration, whose aim is to "intensify the celebration of the faith in the liturgy" (Benedict XVI, Porta Fidei 9). Archbishop Tartaglia invites you to participate in what is intended to be a universal gesture of spiritual sharing.

Glasgow to host Vatican Prefect

To mark the launch of the new St Andrew's Foundation for Catholic Education, Glasgow is to play host to one of the most senior figures in the Vatican, Archbishop Gerhard Muller, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

The Archbishop will give a keynote address in June at Glasgow University following a Mass the previous evening in St Andrew's Cathedral.

The University will host the annual Cardinal Winning Lecture which this year, in recognition of the importance of the new St. Andrew’s Foundation to the life of the University of Glasgow and the Catholic Church in Scotland, will be given by Archbishop Muller, who is perhaps the most distinguished visitor from the Holy See to visit the University of Glasgow.

The proceedings will include a formal launch of the Foundation, a performance by the University Choir and a panel discussion.

The St Andrew’s Foundation will serve as the hub of Catholic teacher education in Scotland and will promote the University’s School of Education as an international centre of excellence in the provision of all aspects of Catholic teacher education

Year of Faith

A new website has been created, with a calendar of events, talks, Masses, pilgrimages etc and useful materials such as the Documents of Vatican II, the Catechism etc. It also has a schema linking the Sunday readings to the relevant section of the catechism to aid study and prayer. The new website is: www.yearoffaithscotland.com

To complement the website, for the first time nationally, the Bishops have created social media streams to bring the message of the Year of Faith to the many users of Facebook and Twitter. 

The new Facebook page will offer daily updates from Scotland and Rome on the activities of the Year of Faith and can be accessed here

www.facebook.com/yearoffaithscotland  

The Twitter stream will bring short information bursts and thoughts for the day to keep users focused on the themes of the Year of Faith. It can be accessed at

Year of Faith Prayer

Lord Jesus, You entrusted your Church with the mission to proclaim the Good News to all the nations.  You sent the Holy Spirit to strengthen those who would bear the message of salvation.

In this year may the same Holy Spirit strengthen our faith and inspire us with words and deeds that, by our efforts, the men and women of our time will hear of You, will believe in You and will come to the beauty of knowing You.  Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever Amen.
