Welcome

We are a Catholic parish in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town and home to the Edinburgh Oratory Project.

Shalom World Media

Shalom World Media

We’ve had a recent visit from the largest Catholic Media group in the world, filming an episode on Vocation (their Vocare series) and other episodes on “hope” (their Words of Wisdom series). These should come out in October. In the meantime we recommend to you their website which has so much to offer in the way of good Catholic films: Shalom World Experience a New Media Culture

We would like to support their good work, and encourage you to look at their previous work in visiting York Oratory with Father Daniel Seeward on the theme of Hope Does not Disappoint and their mini-film on St Margaret Clitherow, the “Pearl of York” Her Life was Her Sacrifice is my Choice or the documentary on St John Henry Newman who wanted their to be an Oratory of St Philip Neri in Edinburgh: The Quest for Truth

Sunday Vespers and Benediction 5.30pm

Sunday Vespers and Benediction 5.30pm

Every Sunday we are blessed to have the solemn singing of the official evening prayer of the Church (Vespers), and we encourage you to return to St Patrick’s after fulfilling your Mass obligation previously in the day, to give thanks for the Lord’s blessings on His Day.

Vespers and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament are sung in Latin, with translations provided on the sheets available. All are welcome.
