Founded in 1976, the award winning Flourish newspaper is the official journal of the Archdiocese of Glasgow. It is
distributed via every Catholic church within the Archdiocese, which is divided
into nine deaneries covering 99 parishes in the West of Scotland. The City of
Glasgow is the main population centre along with the ancient town of Dumbarton
in the west and the New Town of Cumbernauld in the east. The Archdiocese
extends to Bearsden and Milngavie in the north and all the way to Balloch and
Garelochhead in the west.
The paper's title is derived from the motto of the city of Glasgow – Lord, Let Glasgow Flourish by the preaching of Thy Word and the praising of Thy
Name – attributed to St Mungo, the patron of the Archdiocese of Glasgow.
Flourish is published 11 times a year - appearing on the first Sunday of the month,
except January. Each edition is circulated to all 99 parishes in the
Archdiocese of Glasgow and a number of parishes in the dioceses of Motherwell
and Paisley. The paper has a readership across Scotland and subscribers in
Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia.The total circulation is over 10,000 with
a readership of 50,000.
Flourish provides entertaining, vibrant and thought provoking coverage of current
national and international events, as well as local news and regular features
on weddings, schools, home services, holidays and travel, solicitors, the arts,
vocations and funeral services.
