Welcome to the Catholic Church of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, 
Tobermory, Isle of Mull.
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. When no priest is available, the Catholic Community conduct a service of Liturgy of the Word and Holy Communion, using the reserved Blessed Sacrament.

Our bishop is the Rt. Rev. Joseph Anthony Toal of the diocese of Argyll and the Isles.ordained Bishop on 8th December 2008.
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.

Level access to the Church
