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.

Wanting to make things better for others shouldn't mean having to reveal your own experience of abuse.That's why weโ€™ve launched My Words Matter โ€” a new online platform giving victims and survivors of Technology-Assisted Child Sexual Abuse (TACSA) an anonymous way to influence change.My Words Matter does not ask victims and survivors to describe the abuse they experienced. Instead, we want to understand what happened when they told someone or their abuse was discovered… What helped? What made things harder? What do they wish had been done differently? The words of victims and survivors are important and deserve to be heard where decisions are made. Weโ€™re here to make that happen, so victims of TACSA get better support and better outcomes!If you would like to know more, visit www.mywordsmatter.org.uk …
