St Mirin's Cathedral, Paisley

Find out about the celebration of the Sacred Easter Triduum at St Mirin’s Cathedral.

We hope to be allowed to open our doors for communal worship on Friday 26th March, allowing us to celebrate Holy Week and the Sacred Easter Triduum, which begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday night, in the cathedral.

When there is an expectation of high demand, we will stream Masses and Services into the hall, thus doubling our capacity from 50 to 100.
