"For you my soul is thirsting,

Message from Archbishop Tartaglia – My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, the Independence Referendum is just a short time away. Along with the Bishops of Scotland, who are deeply aware of the importance of this referendum, I encourage and urge all those eligible to vote to do so with complete freedom of choice and in accordance with their prayerful judgement of what is best for the future. May God guide us and bless us in whatever choice we make in good conscience.
