Three seminarians from the third year were ordained to the Sacred Order of Diaconate on Wednesday, 12 June 2024 in Saint Paul's Basilica by Right Rev. Hugh Gilbert, Bishop of Aberdeen. We wish wish Br. Philip McMahon (OFM), Br. Louis Kwadwo-Osei (OSB) and Philip Thornley (Diocese of Leeds) all the best for this new Ministry.
Eight new Readers were instituted on Wednesday. The photographs tell their own story. It was a joy to have one of the members of the Scots College amongst the group.
This is a new Inter-Seminary football competition. It was organised by the Beda/Scots this year and hosted by the Parish of San Leonardo Murialdo in their excellent parish sporting facilities. The parish Priest, Don Carmelo, is a keen advocate of an active link between the College and the Parish, and he presented the trophy to the winning team (you’ll be able to spot him). The Irish College prevailed over the French College in the Final. The Beda/Scots Team can be identified by their complete claret/purple strip and the goalkeeper’s distinctive yellow top. There are some good photos of them in formal team pose. It is so pleasing to have this developing pastoral/prayer – as well as sporting - link with the parish.
Students given a tour of the facilities by Mgr. Samuel Sangalli (undersecretary of the Dicastery of Evangelisation) and meet with Prefect Cardinal Tagle.
