With grateful hearts we give thanks for today’s Solemn Pontifical Mass and the Abbatial Blessing of Abbot Julian CFMD, conferred by Bishop Paul. May the Lord who calls also sustain: in mercy, in humility, in fidelity to the Rule, for the life of the world. #CFMD #ECCUK

Christmas has reached our little corner of Scotland too. At St Aidan’s Mission in Kincardine we gathered around Word and Table, candlelight and prayer—rejoicing that God chooses to dwell with us. Peace to all, and a blessed Nativity. ✨🕯️ #Christmas #ECCUK
St. Cecilia
Today we honour St Cecilia, who freely gave her virginity to Christ. In our Church celibacy is never imposed – but when someone chooses this path in love, like Cecilia, it is a beautiful, equal road to holiness alongside marriage and other vocations. #StCecilia #vocation #celibacy #CFMD #ECCUK
Wondering who we are, how our vows work, or what “Benedictine Old Catholic” even means?
You can always drop us a DM or ask in the comments. No pressure, no recruitment tricks, just honest conversation.

If you need prayer, send us a DM or just write “+” under this post.
We’ll carry your intentions to the altar and into our daily office, in the quiet of our little CFMD houses.

Quiet on our feed doesn’t mean quiet in our hearts.
We remain a small Benedictine-inspired community, praying in our scattered homes and carrying you before the Merciful Love of God.

Feast of St Luke the Evangelist—physician, artist, storyteller of God’s mercy. May his Gospel move us to meet Christ in the sick, the poor, and the overlooked. Pray with us and serve with joy today. #StLuke #Evangelist #Healthcare #Compassion #CFMD #ECCUK #Rosary
Let us offer you with a sneak peek at the preparations of our chapel for tonight's Mass!

Yes, I have a past — but in Christ, it no longer defines me. Mercy has the final word.
If you long to live this mercy more deeply, consider walking with us in the Congregation of the Merciful Love of God.
✝️ Dispersed, Benedictine, open-hearted.

Fr. Julian reminded us in today’s homily, the Holy Spirit has given us a “divine app” called Heart Explorer—not found in any app store, but lovingly downloaded into the core of every human soul.
Come, Holy Spirit! Ignite our hearts again.
