Background
History
The church was first built in 1841. The architect was George Goldie. He built the church in the Italian Gothic architectural style. Nine years later, the church became the centre of a parish. In 1865, the Passionists arrived in Scotland. They came from Ireland and began to minister to the parish. From St Mungo's Church, the Passionists went out and ministered to Catholics in other parts of Scotland, such as St Joseph's Church in Helensburgh in 1867. In 1877, the church was altered, again to the designs of George Goldie.
