The history of St. Patrick's, 1950 - 2010.
There are several copies of the original and excellent history of St. Patrick's Parish in circulation, but this work was written to mark the occasion of the centenary of the parish in 1950. Until now, nothing had been written about the subsequent 60 years, during which the parish, and Anderston, underwent dramatic change. Now, thanks to the sterling efforts of Mr Vince McGlennan, a second volume  of the history of the parish in in the final stages of publication.  Copies canbe obtained from the church (preferably at Mass times) price £8.00. Alternatively, orders can be placed in the church  itself, or by e-mail - send name and no. of copies required to
