Pluscarden Abbey
On Tuesday
5th March the monks of Pluscarden Abbey at Dallas, near Elgin, in the Highlands of
Scotland, 35 miles east of Inverness, are celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the reception of their parent
community into the Catholic Church.
On this day in 1913 the Anglican Benedictines of Caldey, who
later moved to Prinknash Abbey (where the community was
founded in 1948), were received into the Catholic Church
by Bishop Mostyn of Menevia.
To mark this Celebration Bishop Hugh Gilbert, Bishop
of Aberdeen, who served as Abbot of Pluscarden
Abbey from 1992 until we was appointed Bishop of
Aberdeen in 2011, will celebrate the Celebration Mass
in the Abbey with Abbot Anselm Atkinson and the
Monks.
At the invitation of Abbot Anslem the Personal
Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham will be
represented by Fr Len Black and Fr Stanley Bennie,
from the Ordinariate group in Scotland.
We wish them God’s richest blessings as the celebrate
this anniversary.
