On-going Formation in the Faith
Various initiatives take place throughout the Archdiocese to support Catholics in their faith journey. For more information, refer to the Archdiocese's Religious Education department.

Men's First Friday Prayer Group
Some men meet together to have some time for prayer for themselves, their families and for the Church and also to understand their faith a bit more. The programme for each First Friday of the month is: 4.45pm Adoration; 5.15pm Mass; 6.00pm Scripture reading and discussion; 6.30pm Spiritual reading. 6.50pm Evening Prayer, concluding at 7.00pm.

Infant Baptism
Parents should contact the Cathedral clergy in good time so that proper preparation may be made to celebrate your child's initiation into the Church.

Catholic Schools
Catholic schools are fully funded by the Scottish Government. The nearest primary schools to the Cathedral are St Mungo's, St Patrick's and St Francis'. The local Catholic secondary school is St Mungo's Academy.

Sacrament of Marriage
Marriage Preparation courses are provided through the Archdiocese's Pastoral Office. Couples intending to be married should make themselves known to their Parish Priest.
