Statement from the Provost on the death of Queen Elizabeth

The Provost has issued the following statement on the death of Queen Elizabeth.

‘As we hear the news of the death of the Queen, my prayers are with the Royal Family and all who mourn. Queen Elizabeth lived an extraordinary life of public service. She was a woman of deep faith and Christian conviction.’

‘It is our custom to pray for the monarch each week at Evensong. I join with so many others in remembering her in prayer tonight. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.’ 

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth will be remembered at cathedral services on Sunday.

The following prayer is used by Scottish Episcopalians when someone dies:

Go forth upon your journey from this world, dear child of God, into the hands of the Father who made you, to find life in Christ who redeemed you, to rejoice in the Spirit who renews you. May the heavenly host sustain you and the company of the redeemed enfold you; may peace be yours this day, and the heavenly city your home. Amen.

Glasgow Doors Open Days

Mural - creation of the sea

St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow will be open for Doors Open Week.

Friday 16 September and Saturday 17 September the Cathedral is open from 10.00 – 16.00. On Sunday 18 September 2022, the Cathedral is open from 12.30 to 16.00. (Sunday services are at 9 am, 11 am and 5 pm and are also open to everyone).

The Cathedral of St Mary the Virgin is a familiar landmark on the busy thoroughfare of Great Western Road. The 200-foot tall bell tower and spire of this Gothic Revival building is a stunning example of architect Sir George Gilbert Scott’s work, finished in 1871.

Following a period of turbulence and uncertainty for Episcopalians dating back to the 17th century, 1825 saw the opening of St Mary’s Chapel in Renfield Street to accommodate a growing population. Later in the century, Sir George Gilbert Scott was commissioned to build a new church on Great Western Road for the congregation of St Mary’s, and the result is open of the city’s best Gothic Revival buildings, constructed by the finest craftsmen available and opened in 1871. The stain glass, part of an integrated sequence within the church, was designed by the studios of Hardman, Ward & Hughs and Clayton & Bell. St Mary’s was consecrated in 1884, with the spire being added nine years later to the original tower. In 1908, in recognition of the church’s growing influence and status, St Mary’s became the Cathedral Church of the Scottish Episcopal Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway. After the Great War, refitting of the chancel was undertaken by the distinguished architect Sir William Lorimer. By the 1980’s, St Mary’s was in need of major refurbishment. Essential roof repairs were carried out in 1985, with restoration, repair and internal improvements taking place between 1989 and 1996. Externally the roof has been re-slated and the tower and spire repaired. Internally, the organ has been rebuilt, the font moved from the west door to the south transept, and the east end and crossing decorated with murals painted by Gwyneth Leech. Interior restoration has included the introduction of an alter and choir stalls in the nave, and a new porch completed in 2002 at the west end.
