“WHETHER you’re in Bolivia or Scotland, seeing a child in pain is one of the worst things you can witness. We, as adults, generally know how to cope with life’s challenges, no matter how bad or hurtful, but when we see a sick child or one going through pain, that should provoke mercy in us.”

“WHAT a lot of people might not know is that I’ve climbed 180 out of 283 Munros,” Fr Dominic Quinn said. “It’s a wee badge of pride, because I love the mountains and the outdoors. I’m no Chris Bonington, but I’ve done my best!”

THE year 2024-25 has not only seen a number of primary schools become Five Star Missio Scotland Schools, but many of them have continued on their engagement journey with us by achieving their Bronze School Award Flag too.

WITH Storm Ashley putting paid to the chances of the 2024 edition of the Pope’s Charity Cup taking place in its usual October date, an exciting final eventually took place just before the schools broke up for the summer.

AT MISSIO Scotland we take great joy in many aspects of our work. Supporting projects is an obvious one. Making lifelong connections is another. Spreading the Good News, however, is at the core of every single member of the Pontifical Mission Societies throughout the world and is not something that merely gives joy to those in mission countries and territories throughout the world, but also allows us to receive joy in return too.
