Dunkeld News – September ’25

It is a joy for me to welcome you back to the Dunkeld News, our journal in Dunkeld that helps bind the people and parishes of our diocese together: sharing news, events and taking strength from each other’s energy and faith. I would like to see the Dunkeld News go from strength to strength.

It is the diversity of our voices and our experiences in the Church that nurture each other and deepen our faith. Please contact the editorial team if you would like to write for the Dunkeld News, share news or events, pictures, prayers for adults or children. This is your magazine and our opportunity to share faith across the diocese.

I am very grateful to the new editor, Jamie Stewart Jones, who has put this edition together and has committed to produce the Dunkeld News regularly. I would also like to publicly acknowledge and thank Andrew Mitchell who guided this publication for many years and continues to edit our website. His service to the diocese is hugely appreciated. Many thanks Andrew.

I hope you enjoy the reports from our annual pilgrimage to Lourdes, the update on restoration work at St Mary’s, Lochee, and updates from youth and Rome as much as I have. I will be travelling to Rome in September for a short conference. I ask for your prayers and look forward to reporting here on what I learn in Rome for our future together.

Yours in Christ.

Bishop Andrew.
