OUR NATIONAL DIRECTOR
Fr Vincent Lockhart was appointed Missio Scotland's National Director in 2018 after serving as caretaker for two years. He spent 16 years in the remote areas of Cameroon.
On his appointment, Fr Vincent commented, "Missio is the Pope's personal mission charity and is an expression of the fact that the Church is a family. The work of Missio Scotland is to deepen that family bond between the Church here in Scotland and the Church in those countries where it is in need of our spiritual and material support."

FOUR MISSION SOCIETIES
Founded in 1822 by Pauline Jaricot, a lay woman with a heart for mission, the Pontifical Mission Societies began with humble origins. Today, Missio Scotland serves as the Pope’s own mission organisation here in Scotland.
Across the globe, the Pontifical Mission Societies partner with the Church and local community leaders to help people experience life in all its fullness.
Mission work is for everyone. Through Missio Scotland, vital projects are funded and supported in four key areas.
Continuing the mission of Jesus in the world through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith
Supporting the formation of priests and religious through the Society of St Peter the Apostle
Supporting the Catholic Church’s official missionary charity for children, Missionary Children
Providing mission formation opportunities through the Pontifical Mission Union
