Scottish Archbishop Leo Cushley had offered to have refugees in his home.
“This is the greatest migration of people into Europe since the Second World War,” he said, referring to the influx of refugees from Syria.
“We are now facing something unprecedented since that time,” he said.
“As a visible example of our willingness to help, I too would be happy to give a home to somebody fleeing war or oppression.
“Hopefully, we can find each family their own home. Scotland is a big country, populated by big people with big hearts.”
A letter sent to Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon by Archbishop Philip Tartaglia on behalf of Scotland’s 452 parishes offered to place parish resources at the service of those who are in the greatest need.
