Celtic - The Irish Connection
A new DVD is now available telling the story of Glasgow Celtic, which was founded in this parish (See Brother Walfrid below), from an Irish perspective. It is presented by a famous Irish Sport Commentator, Jimmy Magee. As a recognition of the origins of the football club, a number of charities benefit from the sale of this DVD, including St. Mary's. You can order online at Woolworth's or Amazon and you can purchase at the Glasgow branches of Virgin, HMV and the Celtic Shop.
A cheque for royalties from this DVD will be presented to Mgr Smith at Celtic Park on Saturday 16th February 2008. The other charities receiving monies from this DVD will also be present to receive their cheques also.
A Canticle of love
The Story of the Franciscans of the Immaculate Conception is a story intimately linked with the story of Saint Mary's. The arrival of the Sisters to Scotland and their foundation of the new community which was to become Glasgow's only foundation of a religious institute involves the people of Saint Mary's and our history. Dr John Watts does a fine job in telling an important story in the life of Saint Mary's, the Church in Glasgow, the City of Glasgow, the Scottish people and the Catholic Church.
Try Amazon for online purchase or a good book seller if you are browsing around personally.
Saint Mary's School
Saint Mary's Primary School was a fundamental aspect of life in Saint Mary's for over a century. Sister Gina, who taught in the school, has prepared information for the web which came from a locally compiled history of the school.
