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.

Letter to Ms Don-Innes MSP

Within the diocese, a number of MSPs voted for the Assisted Dying Bill at first reading. The Paisley Group of the Coalition Against Assisted Dying has identified two MSPs who they hope could be persuaded to change their vote.

One of these is Natalie Don-Innes who represents Renfrewshire North and West. Her constituency covers Bishopton, Gallowhill, Renfrew, Erskine, Houston, Bridge of Weir and Kilmacolm. They are encouraging constituents to download and sign this letter. Completed letters can be returned to Cathedral House.

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.
