It is with great sadness that we heard the news of the sudden death of Archbishop Philip Tartaglia, Archbishop of Glasgow and member of the board of Missio Scotland.
Our prayers and sympathy go to the Archbishop's family and to the people of the Archdiocese.
We remember him with great fondness and give thanks to God for all his help over these past years.

Missionaries #WeAreStillHere
Covid-19 Pandemic
All of us have seen how the whole world has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Often, though, we do not hear so much about how it is impacting people in Africa, South America, the Caribbean, south-east Asia and the Pacific Islands. In many of these places, missionaries and local Catholic priests, religious sisters and parish communities are the only source of hope and help.
The video above sends out a clear message: they are still there for the people.
Please keep them in your prayers.
One country that is being very badly affected is Peru and during the Mission Month of October, Missio Scotland will focus on our brothers and sisters there.
