Saint Mungo's Parish
ST.Mungo
Founded in 1850, the present parish is bounded by the Rottenrow (south), Petershill Road and Keppochill Road (north), North Hanover Street and Pinkston Road (west), and Wishart Street, Royston Square and Auchinloch Street (east). Since 1865 the parish has been in the care of the priests and brothers of the Congregation of the Passion (the Passionists).
In 1999 St Stephen's Parish, Sighthill, was united with Saint Mungo's.
Of the people who attend Saint Mungo's every Sunday, about half live in Townhead and Sighthill. Others come from as far as Dumbarton and Cumbernauld. On weekdays, Mass is celebrated 10am and 12.15pm.
There are three schools in the parish, Saint Mungo's, St Stephen's and St Kevin's.
For more than 40 years the parish provided the home for a day centre for retired adults where meals, classes, and other opportunities are available. On any weekday, around 50 people use this facility, which is open to all older adults in the neighbourhood.
As a city church, Saint Mungo's draws its congregation from a wide area. Its mission extends beyond geographic confines in part because of its proximity to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, to the busy Merchant City, Glasgow Caledonian University, and Strathclyde University. Because the church has been entrusted to the care of a religious order, the Passionists, the order's spirituality or charism also attracts many people who do not live nearby.
In our diversity of age and interests, we unite in prayer for the needs of the world around us and in reaching out to our community.
