Scotus College, working together with PRIESTS FOR SCOTLAND, offers a variety of opportunities for the ongoing formation of priests. The college welcomes Priest Support Groups, and has overnight accomodation available for such groups. In addition, any priest wishing to spend time on retreat, or simply in quiet reflection away from the parish, will find the atmosphere of the college welcoming and prayerful. Priest guests are welcome at all liturgies in the college, including daily Eucharist, and Morning and Evening Prayer. Spiritual direction from a member of staff is also avilable, should it be desired. The cottage in the college grounds gives the priest on retreat the choice of self-catering for his meals, or of eating together with the college community.

Recognising the importance of ongoing theological formation for priests, Fr William McFadden will lead two workshops looking at the current theological understanding of priesthood, on the following days:

Tuesday 28th October 2008 - The Works of Donald Cozzens
Tuesday 10th February 2009 - The Works of Cardinal Walter Kasper

Clergy wishing to participate in these workshops, or to use Scotus for ongoing formation in any way, should simply contact the Administrator.
