• Welcome to St. Columbkille's Catholic Church Rutherglen

    • Welcome to our parish website which we hope you will find to be informative about our church and the life of our parish community.

    • HISTORY

    • The present church building was opened in 1940 to replace the first St Columbkille's Church which was founded on the same site in 1851.

    • Our Parish Vision

    • We aspire to be a welcoming and faithful Eucharistic community, serving the Lord, spreading the truth of his Gospel, and helping all to respond to God's Universal call to holiness, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

    • St Columbkille's from on high

Message from Fr Ghislain as he leaves St Columbkille’s

 
 

Bishop Toal asked Fr Ghislain to move from St Columbkille’s on Friday 17th November to St John Bosco Parish in Easterhouse where Fr Owen Ness is recovering from ill health. At this point, it is not known if Fr Ghis will return to St Columbkille’s. We thank Fr Ghis for his dedicated service and prayerful ministry in our parish community. Please keep him in your prayers. Photographs below were taken at Fr Ghislain’s final Mass in St Columbkille’s.

MESSAGE FROM FATHER GHISLAIN

I want to express my thanks to you all for the welcome I received when I came to St Columbkille’s. I made many new friends and felt part of the family. I will continue as Chaplin to Trinity High School meantime. I will not be far away and please be assured of a warm welcome if you come to visit. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

With every Blessing, Fr G.
