DIOCESE OF MOTHERWELL
Registered Scottish Charity
SC011045
PARISH PRIEST
Fr Vincent Lockhart
Corpus Christi
is a parish in the
Diocese of Motherwell
The parish was founded
in 1948.
The church was opened
in 1952.
One message I received this morning said:
“What an inspiring celebration last evening’s Mass for the New Evangelization was, and how thought-provoking his Grace’s words.”
I think all present would concur with these words and we were most appreciative of Archbishop Fisichella presence with us in Motherwell yesterday, both for the Clergy Conference and as main Celebrant at the Mass.
I wish to thank everybody involved in preparing for both and all who attended and assisted in any way. A special word of thanks to Fr Lamb and the Care for the Clergy Group who took the lead in organising this special day.
I would like it to be reported that Archbishop Fisichella brought good wishes to all in Motherwell Diocese from Our Holy Father, Pope Leo, whom he had met a few days before coming to Scotland. It was good for us to hear this message and to feel the communion between us in the Catholic Church with The Holy Father, and through the presence and inspiring words of the His Grace Archbishop Fisichella, the Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization.
Our own thoughts and prayers today therefore are very much with Pope Leo as he begins his Apostolic Visit to France.
I am sure many will follow it very closely, especially his visit to Lourdes.
If anyone is interested in being baptised or converting to the Catholic faith or even just to know more about our faith, then please contact Fr Vincent. The course would run from October to Easter.

2026 has been proclaimed by Pope Leo as the “Year of St Francis of Assisi” and to mark the 800th Anniversary of St Francis’ death. The Bishop hopes that we can mark this special anniversary in the Diocese in the coming months.
We began the Franciscan Jubilee in the Diocese at St John Ogilvie’s Church, Blantyre, on Monday 2nd February, the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord. It was the World Day of Prayer for Religious, and seemed appropriate to mark the Feast and to begin the Franciscan Jubilee with the Poor Clare Sisters, who recently moved to St John Ogilvie’s.
Bishop Toal has designated St John Ogilvie’s as a place of Pilgrimage throughout the Jubilee of St Francis.
