Last week our brothers in Edinburgh received planning permission for the Chapel plans and for the works upon the building and gardens. This is a big leap forward in the Keeping the Door Open campaign but there is still a long way to go!The Priory of St Albert the Great, located in the heart of Edinburgh, is one of the most vibrant and active houses in our province. Whilst on placement there last summer, I could not help but be impressed and inspired by the work and dedication of the community, especially in its mission as a non-territorial parish for the staff and students of the University of Edinburgh and other third level institutions in the city. The need for this project testifies to the success of the community. The student mass on Sunday evening is heaving, standing room only if you are running late.
A lively Christian community has grown up around the Dominicans in Edinburgh. For this to grow and flourish these works need to be done, and everyone can help in this endeavour. Please pray for the work of our friars in Edinburgh and the success of their Keeping the Doors Open campaign. Please visit the website and if you can, please donate. Every penny given will contribute to the preaching and living of the Gospel in Edinburgh.
