Latest News About Diocese Of Dunkeld

Here’s the latest I can confirm about the Diocese of Dunkeld based on recent public sources:

• In early 2024, Fr. Martin Chambers was announced as the new Bishop of Dunkeld by Pope Francis, succeeding Bishop Stephen Robson who retired due to health reasons. The Holy See’s announcement noted Chambers’ background in Ecuador and various priestly roles; his episcopal ordination date had not yet been set at that time. This was reported by Catholic Church of Scotland channels and related diocesan communications.[1]
• The diocese is part of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church in southern Scotland, with its see in the city of Dundee and membership extending across Perth, Angus, Clackmannan, Kinross, and parts of Fife; this context is described in standard reference pages about the Diocese of Dunkeld.[2][5]
• The Diocese’s own site and historical pages show ongoing activity including press releases and news updates, with regular communications about clergy changes and diocesan events; the most recent public postings appear on the Dunkeld Diocese site in 2026, indicating continued governance and pastoral work.[6]

Notes and caveats:

• The most authoritative contemporary confirmation of the bishop’s ordination date and current status would be the Diocese of Dunkeld’s own communications and the Vatican announcements. If you’d like, I can compile the exact dates and extract quotes from the latest official statements.
• If you want a quick, up-to-the-minute news digest, I can perform a targeted search of reputable news outlets and the diocesan site to pull any developments after May 2024.
