Welcome to the Diocese of Argyll & the Isles

Welcome Message from Bishop Brian McGee

Welcome Message from Bishop Brian McGee

Welcome to the website of the Diocese of Argyll & the Isles, and thank you for visiting. I hope you will enjoy exploring the contents of the site, learning about our Cathedral and parishes, our Led by the Spirit discernment process, our Celtic spiritual heritage and much more.

It is a large diocese, taking in much of the western part of the Scottish Highlands & Islands. It covers over 31 thousand square kilometres and has the most beautiful scenery in Scotland! We welcome many thousands of visitors here each year and we really do WELCOME them! Visitors to the diocese enrich our lives and our liturgies.

For those resident in the diocese I hope you will find this renewed website of interest. In these pages, alongside our Facebook page, I hope  you will find the information and news you require to make you an ever more active participant in the life of prayer and service that we endeavour to foster together.

To all site visitors, either local to the diocese of from further afield, I would like to ask your help in giving financial support should you be in a position to do so. You'll find a link to our donation page here and if you happen to be a tax payer in the USA then we have a dedicated donation page where you can take advantage of tax deductions when giving to the diocese.

I travel the diocese a great deal and one of the most enjoyable parts of that is meeting and greeting people! Now I am delighted to do so virtually as well, through this welcome message.

Thank you for visiting and during this Holy Year in particular may you experience the joy and hope that both Pope Francis and myself wish for you.

+Brian

Congratulations to Chrissie O’Neill who was presented with the Benemerenti Medal in her parish of St Mary’s, Fort William. For decades Chrissie has faithfully served as sacristan while her personal witness encouraged people to either join the Church or begin practicing again. Friday was a beautiful parish occasion when a large crowd participated in the Mass and the festivities afterwards. Well done Chrissie, Fr David and all at St Mary’s.
