THE PILGRIM STATUE OF ST. MICHAEL AT PLUSCARDEN
Pluscarden Abbey is the 54th station in the journey of the Pilgrim Statue of St. Michael around Scotland. Our statue is a replica of the famous marble original, carved in 1507 by Andrea Sansovino, for the Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel at Gargano, in South East Italy. The plaster replica was commissioned specially for this Scottish project, which commenced in May 2022. It is scheduled to be at Pluscarden for about two weeks from 2 August 2023.

Ordination of Fr. Joseph Carron
The sun shone as Bishop Hugh ordained our Dom Joseph Carron to the Sacred Priesthood on Monday 12 June. No member of Fr. Joseph's family was able to come, but plenty of friends and admirers were there. A most pleasant buffet meal was served in the cloister garden after the Mass, much appreciated by all present.
