OPERATIONAL NOTE: PAPAL VISIT PRESS ACCREDITATION PROCESS NOW OPEN.

The accreditation for the Papal Visit to the UK, 16-19 September, is now
open.

Anybody who wishes to be accredited should do so through the website of
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The process closes on Wednesday, August 18.

NB. The media accreditation for the Papal Mass at Bellahouston may be
restricted due to capacity constraints. Scottish media representatives will be
given preference. If you wish to be at Bellahouston
then tick the appropriate box on page one of the FCO accreditation form
AND also send an email confirming you've registered that interest in the
Bellahouston Mass to the Scottish Catholic Media Office at mail@scmo.org.
