It is with deep regret that I have to advise you of the death of Monsignor Henry Docherty, who passed away this morning in Summerlee Care Home in Coatbridge.
Our Lady, Queen of Priests, pray for him.
Requiescat in pace.

The World Day of #PrayerForVocations invites us to reflect on the precious gift of the call that the Lord extends to each of us. May we participate in His loving plan and incarnate the beauty of the Gospel in all states of life.
