A Vicar General is the highest official of a diocese after the bishop. He is a cleric legitimately deputed to exercise generally the episcopal jurisdiction in the name of the bishop, so that his acts are reputed the acts of the bishop himself. He should be an experienced priest of excellent moral character. The Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh currently has two Vicars General: Monsignor Jeremy Milne VG and Monsignor Allan Canon Chambers VG.
Monsignor Jeremy Milne is parish priest at St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh. He studied for the priesthood at the Pontifical Beda College in Rome and was ordained to the priesthood in 2012.
He has served in parishes in Edinburgh and the Borders and has a PhD in Ecological Science from Edinburgh University.
Monsignor Allan Chambers is the parish priest of St Francis Xavier’s in Falkirk. Educated at St Andrew’s College, Drygrange, Roxburghshire, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1980.
He has since served in parishes in Edinburgh, Midlothian, and West Lothian and was a prison chaplain for 16 years.
