For the Good of Souls

Welcome

Welcome to St Mirin’s Cathedral, the mother church of the Diocese of Paisley. Built in 1808, the original parish church was the first stone-built Roman Catholic church in post-Reformation Scotland. In 1948, the present building was raised to cathedral status, following the erection of the Diocese of Paisley in 1947.

These measures respond to some of the concerns raised in our pre-Budget statement. Short-term relief must, however, be matched by sustained action to tackle poverty and ensure that everyone can afford essential costs and a warm, secure home. This Budget risks tinkering at the edges rather than making the long-term, sustainable commitments needed to support those most in need.The ultimate test of this Budget will be whether support reaches those in greatest need, including households with higher unavoidable heating costs, and whether devolved governments have the resources required to sustain vital services. Adequate welfare support, practical routes into employment, care for those who need it and predictable funding for community organisations must remain priorities.We continue to urge the UK Government to reverse the planned reduction in international aid and work towards restoring the 0.7% commitment, provide adequately funded safe and legal routes for refugees, including resettlement and family reunion, and support the communities that welcome them. Predictable international climate finance is also essential, alongside protection for low-income households in the transition to cleaner energy. Human dignity and the common good must guide the Governmentโ€™s choices: the lasting measure of this Budget will be the difference it makes to the lives of those facing the greatest hardship, at home and overseas.๐—”๐—ป๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜† ๐—›๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป, ๐——๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟCatholic Parliamentary Office for Scotland …
