ABOUT OUR CHURCH
The present Church on Bridge of Weir and Greenfarm Road is the third in Linwood and was opened in 1967. The ‘Flypast’ below shows its interior and setting. Unusually, for a Catholic Church, it contains a War Memorial, there being no Civic Centre in Linwood when the Parish was established.

ABOUT OUR PARISH
Our Parish was founded in 1898 to Serve the Local Catholic Community of Linwood. The Original Church was the Church of St. Ethelburga (+675AD, the Founder of the First Monastic Order for Women in Britain) which served the mining Communities of Inkerman (close to the present day site of Glasgow Airport). When the mine was fully worked, Inkerman was abandoned and the Church transported whole to Linwood.
Parish Tour Video
Here is a tour video of the Parish that is rarely seen in this way by members of the Congregation. It was given to us as special privilege to allow us to appreciate the beauty of our Parish church.
It is of course the Angel's Eye View!
