Excerpts from Bishop Joseph's letter to the clergy (Ad Clerum) December 2011.

Thank you all very much for your prayers and good wishes in recent times. My eye feels much better now, and hopefully my sight will continue to improve. There are plenty of things now for me to catch up with and I will try to include some of them in this letter......

We had a lovely celebration on Friday 22nd July, the Feast of St Mary Magdalene, of the 60th Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood of Canon Angus John MacQueen, parish priest of Northbay, Barra. The Mass was concelebrated at the Lourdes Grotto next to St. Barr’s Church at Northbay by Canon Angus, ten priests and myself, assisted by Deacon Martin Matheson.

Bishop Joseph shares news about the recent diaconate ordination in Rome and the new translation of the Mass.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I wish you all joy and peace in this Blessed Season of Easter – may the Risen Lord enliven and renew us in faith, hope, and love.......
