Welcome

Welcome to St Mirin’s Cathedral, the mother church of the Diocese of Paisley. Built in 1808, the original parish church was the first stone-built Roman Catholic church in post-Reformation Scotland. In 1948, the present building was raised to cathedral status, following the erection of the Diocese of Paisley in 1947.

Here, you can find out the times of Masses and services. The latest parish and diocesan news can be found on our Bulletin Notices page. You can find out more about our history and our serving clergy here.

Livestream at St Mirin’s Cathedral

Our cathedral webcam streams 24/7. You are welcome to tune in at any time, especially if it helps you to take a moment to pray. To access the livestream from the cathedral, click here.

Holy Family Icon

As we prepare for the Jubilee Year, we have purchased an icon of the Holy Family that will make its way around the parish.

Can you host the icon for one week and pray for the parish and other intentions? You might consider inviting friends, neighbours or fellow parishioners to join you at some point in the week.

Hosts can also have Fr Joe or Fr Ryan visit to pray the Rosary and bless your home. Sign up in the sacristy or email stmirinscathedral@rcdop.org.uk.

Private Prayer

The cathedral is open for private prayer daily from approximately 7.30am Mass until 4pm. You are most welcome to drop in during these hours for your own private prayers and devotions.
