Charity registration No SCO 02876
Welcome to the
Catholic Church of Our Lady, Star
of the Sea,
Tobermory, Isle of
Mull.
The church
is served from St
Columba's Cathedral, Oban
and our parish priest is
Mgr James MacNeil, who is
also the Cathedral
Administrator.
PLEASE
NOTE THAT FROM ADVENT
2011 MASS IS SAID AT
CRAIGNURE EVERY
SUNDAY
UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE. FOR UP
TO DATE INFORMATION,
CLICK ON
THE NOTICE
BOARD PAGE OF THIS
WEBSITE.
Our
bishop, the Rt Rev Brian
McGee, was consecrated
Bishop of Argyll and the
Isles at St Columba's
Catherdrel, Oban,on 18th
February 2016 by
Archbishop Leo Cushney.
The
Catholic population
fluctuates, but there
are about forty
households in total,
with one or more Mass
attenders.This involves
long journeys for some,
but the presence of the
Catholic House of Prayer
on Iona in 1997 , with
priests often staying
there, means that
Catholics in the Ross of
Mull can go to Mass more
conveniently.
The
church can now be
accessed via a paved
pathway from Victoria
Street, just to the left
of the Stone Cottage.
Turn right at the end of
the level pathway and
our church is just a few
yards on the right.
There are two steps into
the church so if you
need help, please ask.
