“Among the many satisfactions of my office as Bishop in Aberdeen (1977-2002), one
of the greatest must be the provision and care of so many beautiful churches; and
the fruitful friendship of those engaged in their design, adornment, preservation and
recording." Archbishop Emeritus, Mario Joseph Conti
