The Redemptorist Fathers of St Mary’s Monastery at Kinnoull, Perth in Scotland have issued an urgent appeal for support for their plans to develop land owned by the monastery to prevent its closure.
Fr Ronald McAinsh, the order’s provincial superior, made the appeal, saying that it was vital that Perth and Kinross Council approved the redevelopment plan if the monastery is to survive. Britian’s most senior Catholic clergyman Cardinal Keith O’Brien made a personal plea for the future of the 141-year-old monastery to be secured upon realising it faced closure if plans for the construction of houses on adjacent land are not given the green light.
Messages of support can be left by e-mailing the council directly via the monastery’s website at (kinnoullmonastery.co.uk). Click ‘planning application,’ which will lead you to a link for the planning authority.
