Cardinal Winning Lecture 2018

In the spirit of the late Cardinal’s renowned commitment to the role of the Catholic Community in the promotion of the common good for Scotland, it was a particular privilege for the St Andrew’s Foundation to invite and welcome the Right Honorable Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, to give the 2018 Cardinal Winning Lecture. Over the course of almost 20 years this lecture series has sought to project the work, faith and witness of Catholic Education in building a society in Scotland fit for all its members. Hence lectures delivered by a distinguished lineage of Catholic Educators have also been enriched by the voices of leading politicians and public figures responsible for sustaining the vision of Scottish education nationally and globally. The gathering on June 2nd in the University’s historic Bute Hall was another opportunity to take forward this work. The full text of her lecture is available on this page.
