For the Good of Souls

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.

St. Luke was a physician, missionary, and companion of St. Paul, and he wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, two New Testament books. Although he was not one of the Twelve Apostles, he became an important member of the early Christian community.St. Paul refers to Luke as โ€œthe beloved physicianโ€ in his Letter to the Colossians. Luke later accompanied Paul on several missionary journeys. The โ€œweโ€ passages in Acts suggest that he traveled with Paul during portions of his ministry, including the journey to Rome. Near the end of Paulโ€™s life, Paul wrote that Luke alone remained with him during his final imprisonment.Lukeโ€™s Gospel has a distinctive emphasis on Godโ€™s mercy and Christโ€™s salvific mission. He frequently draws attention to the poor, sinners, the suffering, and the marginalized. His Gospel also gives particular attention to women. He includes several well-known accounts found nowhere else, including the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son, and the disciples on the road to Emmaus.His writings also have special accounts about Mary. His opening chapters provide the most extensive Gospel account of Maryโ€™s role in the events surrounding Jesusโ€™ birth, including her Magnificat. He is also traditionally associated with painting the first Christian icons of the Virgin Mary.Continuing the story of salvation in the Acts of the Apostles, Luke describes the growth of the Church from Jerusalem to Rome. The Holy Spirit is central throughout his narrative, guiding the Apostles and strengthening them to proclaim Christ.Tradition holds that St. Luke died in Boeotia, Greece. He is honored as the patron of physicians and artists.ewtnmission.com/dailysaint/st-luke-the-evangelist/ …
