Timeline
Hugh Gilbert OSB (born 15 March 1952) is an English Catholic Benedictine monk who currently serves as the Bishop of Aberdeen.
He previously served as the Abbot of Pluscarden Abbey, of which he is a member, also in Scotland.
On 15 March 1952, he was born Edward Gilbert in Emsworth, Hampshire, to an Anglican family.
He was educated at the private St Paul's School in London.
At the age of 18, he was received into the Roman Catholic Church on Christmas Eve of 1970.
He studied history at King's College London and graduated in 1974 with a first class honours degree in History.
Gilbert was received into the novitiate of Pluscarden Abbey in Moray, Scotland, in March 1975, at which time he was given the religious name Hugh.
He made his temporary profession of monastic vows on 10 March of the following year and was then sent to the former Fort Augustus Abbey, located on the shores of Loch Ness, for studies and preparation for the priesthood.
He made his solemn profession of vows on 10 March 1979 and was ordained a priest in 1982 on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul (29 June) by Mario Conti, then the Bishop of Aberdeen.
Dom Alfred Spencer OSB, the first abbot in the history of the monastery, subsequently appointed Gilbert to various duties in the community: sub-prior in 1984, novice master in 1985, and prior in 1990.
Gilbert was elected by the monastic community to succeed Spencer as abbot on 29 October 1992.
He received the abbatial blessing from Conti on 8 December, at which time he formally took office.
He was a member of the Council of the Union of Monastic Superiors from 1993 to 1997 and of the Abbot Visitor's Council since 1995.
During his time as abbot, the community grew to 27 monks.
Gilbert was appointed the Bishop of Aberdeen by Pope Benedict XVI on 4 June 2011.
He was consecrated for this office at the Cathedral Church of St Mary of the Assumption in Aberdeen by Keith Cardinal O'Brien, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, on the Feast of the Assumption (15 August) 2011.
He chose as his episcopal motto Omnia in Ipso constant (All things hold together in Him), which is a verse from the Letter to the Colossians (1:17).
In August 2012, Bishop Gilbert argued in the Scottish same-sex marriage debate that if the Scottish Government truly believed in equality, it would also make incest and polygamy legal.
Gilbert has written a number of journal articles and books on spirituality.
