About

St. Patrick, an exquisite example of Neoclassical architecture designed by Reginald Fairlie, stands with grace just off Edinburgh's famed Royal Mile. Opened in 1774, this cherished building invites visitors into a serene atmosphere perfect for prayer and contemplation. Its high ratings reflect the welcoming nature of the community and the peaceful environment that envelops those who enter.

Visitors and locals alike are drawn to its historical and spiritual significance, not least because it houses the tomb of the venerable Margaret Sinclair, making it a place of pilgrimage for many. Regular offerings of Eucharistic Adoration and Holy Mass during the weekdays provide opportunities for worship and reflection, enriching the spiritual lives of all who attend.

Great church and initiative. The Latin mass at 11am is well-organised and consistent, the priests are putting a lot of effort and have a good understanding of their community and they balance things well between the Latin traditions and the more modern customs. The community is also interesting and there are a lot of young people which is always good to see.

Bardzo przyjazne miejsce, cisza i spokój. Można oddać się chwili zastanowienia. Liturgia w języku angielskim. Polecam poczuć klimat tego niezwykłego miejsca.

It’s just sad that very few people go to this church even on a Christmas day..
