Events in the Parish
The Immaculate Conception is a vibrant parish, serving people in many different ways. Liturgy is central, but the Gospel is also concerned with people, with justice and with community. We aim to reflect the Gospel in all that we do, so our parish life is varied and vibrant, liturgical, social, ecumenical and focussed on justice and peace.
Find an event that suits you – and if you don't find one, perhaps you could organise for something that is lacking here to take place – please speak to Fr Jim with ideas and suggestions.

Solemnity of St Andrew, Patron of Scotland
Honoured among the Orthodox as Πρωτόκλητος – ‘the first called’ to follow Jesus, he led others to the Lord – including his brother Simon Peter. St Andrew has been celebrated in Scotland for over a thousand years. It wasn’t until the signing of The Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, that he became Scotland’s patron saint. The flag of Scotland, the St Andrew’s Cross, the naming of the ancient capital town of St Andrews all bear witness to his presence in our nation’s life and history.
