Our parish was founded in 1850 to serve the growing Catholic population of Shettleston, Tollcross, Carmyle, Lightburn, Baillieston, Stepps and Cardowan. The first church was a converted railway hut near the present Gartocher Road. The second church and presbytery was built on Shettleston Road in 1857. In 1959 the present church was built to a design of Jack Coia on the property known as Crownhaugh Farm. At present the parish covers parts of the areas of Shettleston, Springboig, Larchgrove, Hawthornlea, Sandyhills and Mount Vernon. Our population is around 2800. Around 1200 are regular Sunday Mass attendees. We enjoy devotional services, spiritual input, social gatherings and events that help build communion and community amoung ourselves and with God
