“St Andrew's Cathedral is a Neo-Gothic style building designed by James Gillespie Graham in 1814. St Andrew's Parish traces its origins to the appointment of a priest for Glasgow in 1792. In 1814, when the number of communicants recorded was 3,000, the decision was made to build a new church on Clyde Street. The cathedral was established to serve the Irish immigrants in Glasgow. The country's industrial revolution led to an increase in visitors and immigrants to the community. St Andrew's Cathedral's pleasant ambience attracts families and visitors who enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The pipe organ in St Andrew's Cathedral, built in 1903, is still used by the choir during masses and services. Entry to the cathedral is free, and guidebooks are available at the Cathedral shop for visitors.”

“St Mungo's Church was designed by George Goldie in the Italian Gothic architectural style. Nine years after its construction, it became the centre of a parish. In 1865, Passionists from Ireland arrived in Scotland and began ministering to the parish, extending their services to other parts of the country, including St Joseph's Church in Helensburgh in 1867. The church was modified in 1877, again under the direction of George Goldie. In 1899, St Stephen's Church in Sighthill joined St Mungo's parish, with the Passionists serving both congregations. The church holds four Sunday Masses: Saturday at 6:00 p.m., Sunday at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 7:00 p.m. Weekday Masses are at 10:00 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.”
