A white double decker bus created by the ‘Friends of Divine Mercy Scotland’, will be bringing the Catholic faith to the towns in Scotland. It brings Mass and Confession, and information for those who want to know more about the Catholic faith, or just to even have a chat.
Organiser Helen Border said: “Inspired by the call from Pope Francis to “Go out to the people and take the Church to them” we’ve decided to do just that, with a church on wheels, which between Monday July 31 to Saturday August 5 will be in a different town each day.
“There will be priests hearing confessions on the top deck of the ‘Mercy Bus’ and literature, tea and coffee available downstairs. Everyone is welcome, we hope passers-by will come on board, where they can say a prayer or just chat. Today, so many people are angry and upset, often because they’ve made the wrong choices and want to change. Stepping on board the bus, could be the first step in changing their lives for the better. We hope they’ll come aboard!”
Commenting on the initiative, Bishop Keenan said: “This is a fantastic initiative and a wonderful example of evangelisation, which takes the church out into the world. I wish the venture every success and hope it will be the first of many similar initiatives which offer people a route back to a relationship with God.”
The bus together with a driver, has been donated, for a week, by Sir Brian Souter.
