Summer 2017

Posted on24/11/201713/04/2018AuthorRev Thomas Kilbride

After our propaedeutic course ended, the College took up its “other life” as a home-from-home for visiting groups from Scotland and elsewhere (i.e. we even had a few from Ireland this summer!). First up was a group from Holy Cross parish in Glasgow, led by their Parish Priest, Mgr Hugh Bradley, along with their former Read More …

Friday January 20th 2017 – a dark winter night, with the typically Scottish “post-Christmas”, January blues… In St Aidan’s parish Hall in Wishaw, however, the winter chills were scattered by memories of summer sunshine, as the group who had come to Salamanca in July of the pervious year held a reunion. Memories and stories were Read More …

Salamanca in the snow

Posted on28/02/201029/11/2016AuthorSalamaLeave a comment

People in Scotland often think of Spain as a place of constant sunshine and high temperatures. However, away from the “costas”, it can have quite a continental climate – hot in summer, cold in winter.  Since Salamanca sits on a high plateau, it also can have quite a cold climate in winter – as these Read More …

We thank the Rector, staff, sisters and seminarians of the Pontifical Scots College in Rome for the warmth of their welcome, their hospitality and companionship as our two Colleges shared the Holy Week retreat and Easter Triduum together. It has been a wonderful experience of fellowship, prayer and not a little laughter along the way too. New friendships made; old ones renewed. Happy Easter/Buona Pasqua/Feliz Pascua to everyone! ...

Fr John Haran – The Royal Scots College Salamanca

A little addition to the part of the website which tells about people from the College's history over the years: Fr John Haran, ordained in 1936, one of the last priests ordained in Valladolid before the Spanish Civil War forced the College's closure together with an image of him from1996, shortly after his Diamond Jubilee and not long before he died, visiting Salamanca for the solemn blessing and opening of the newly-refurbished College building. RIP. The second image is courtesy of Fr Michael Briody.

Our College is 390 years old today - and still looking good!
With this in mind, we paused today to celebrate with thanksgiving all those who have gone before us over those centuries, our benefactors, former students and staff, employees and friends. In particular, we gave thanks for the faith, vision and no little persistence of our founders, Colonel William Semple (of the Lochwinnoch Semples) and his wife, Doña María de Ledesma. They gave over their Madrid home to be a place of formation for Scots priests to return to their homeland to serve the (at that time underground) Catholic communities there.
Elsewhere in this page there are pictures of the two Founders. Attached here is their coat of arms and a little extract from one of the Royal Charters of the College which describes their zeal and hopes: "with pious zeal and thankful for the many mercies and benefits which they had received from the mighty hand of God, desiring to do some good work directed to his greater service... were determined to found... and endow a Seminary for Scots secular students" (ie students for 'diocesan' priesthood).
Their College has prepared so many priests, bishops, dedicated Catholic laymen and others who have served (and are still serving) the Church in Scotland and beyond for almost 400 years... One wonders if they ever imagined their legacy would be this long-lasting!
