It was a privilege to bless the headstone of former Celts Dan Doyle and John Kelly yesterday, at a @CelticGraves Commemoration of these men who have played their part in the Clubs history. As always, it was great to catch up with Jim Craig, a real gentleman!

Diamond Anniversary Congratulations to my Granny and Granda, John and Betty, who today celebrate 60 years of marriage. It was a privilege to celebrate Holy Mass with and for them this evening in their home parish, and to present them with a Papal Blessing from Pope Leo.

I had the privilege of meeting His Holiness this week during the General Audience. I presented him with gifts from the young people of our diocese, assured him of their prayers, and asked him to pray for everyone in the diocese.

Can’t wait! Tomorrow evening will be an historic moment for everyone in the Diocese of Paisley.
In less than 24 hours, the relic of St Carlo will be received into St Mirin’s Cathedral! Our diocese will be the first in the world to host his relic after he was canonised on Sunday. The Reception of the Relic begins at 6.30pm on Tue 9 Sep, with opportunity to venerate it.

Five years ago today, I celebrated Mass in thanksgiving for my priestly ordination, in my home parish. I have lots of wonderful memories of that day; none more so than this one. @RCStFrancisPG

Very grateful to the team at @poferries for allowing me to celebrate Holy Mass on their Spirit of France service, as the @DiocesePaisley Youth to Lourdes group makes its way towards Lourdes. The crew were all incredibly respectful. Thank you.
