Belonging
St Patrick's is the home of a vibrant worshipping community which offers a warm welcome to regular worshippers and visitors alike. Because of our location, just off the Royal Mile, we attract visitors from many different countries. Our aim is to make everyone feel they belong.
St Patrick's is a popular centre for devotion. The National Shrine of the Venerable Margaret Sinclair is located within the church and draws pilgrims from all over Scotland and beyond. The shrine to Our Lady of Perpetual Help also provides a special focus for prayer and devotion.
At the heart of our worship is the Eucharist – our daily and weekly celebration of Mass. We make every effort to offer worship to God that is reverent and reflective.

Restoration
The oldest part of St Patrick's church dates back to 1774. Inevitably over time the building has suffered serious wear and tear. In February 2008 we launched a Restoration Appeal for external and internal repairs and renovations. Phase 1 of the project, which included repairs to the roof and masonry and the repair of the central heating system, was completed in February 2009. If we are to move on to Phase 2 of the renovations, which includes the restoration of murals by the 18th century Scottish artist Alexander Runciman, we urgently need to raise more funds.
