Welcome to the Chapel of St Mahew, Cardross

The chapel of St Mahew, built in 1467 and restored in 1955, stands on one of the earliest Christian missionary sites in Scotland (6th Century).  The chapel is one of only four mediaeval churches which have been restored to their former use.  The others are: Greyfriars at Elgin, the Chapel Royal at Falkland and the Priory at Pluscarden.

The Parish of St Mahew's, Cardross, was formed in 1978 with a priest resident in the village. Today, it is served from the neighbouring parish of St Michael's, Dumbarton. 

The Archdiocese of Glasgow is set to begin the formal consultation process to merge St Mahew’s with St Michael’s to form a single parish – with St Mahew’s reverting to its historic designation as a ‘chapel of ease’. For the moment, Mass provision is suspended. 

Sunday Mass at St Michael's

Saturday vigil: 5.30pm; 8am & 11am
