Pray for Ukraine

Pope Francis has asked us to make it a day of prayer and fasting for peace in Ukraine and other places of conflict (such as Yemen, Syria and Ethiopia).

At 6pm, Archbishop Leo leads a service for peace at Our Lady of Pochaev and St Andrews Ukrainian Catholic Church. All welcome.

Archbishop leads Ash Wednesday service at Holyrood

Archbishop Leo led an Ash Wednesday service for MSPs and staff at the Scottish Parliament today.

He said: "We prayed for the grace to examine ourselves with honesty and humility and also to ask for God’s help in following Him more closely in the 40 Days of Lent.

"Thanks to all who attended and to Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone for taking the time to meet me for a chat afterwards and also to John Kennedy from Meghan Gallacher MSPs office for helping facilitate this event."
