Jack Coia, a Glasgow Catholic of Italian background had a totally new concept of what a church should be like when he steered the team of architects towards producing this outstanding church.

The church was designed in 1964 and completed in 1966 in the garden of what is now the Presbytery at 6 Broompark Circus in Dennistoun. The plan of the church fills most of the site to create an irregular space for around 500 people - and generally the church is full!

The massive copper roof, rising almost from street level, reaches it's maximum height above the altar, where the soaring gable end fulfils the role of a church tower.

Entry to the church is through a doorway which leads to a broad and gently rising staircase which carries the visitor into the higher plane of sacred space - only gradually is the interior revealed.

The materials used are mainly, concrete, brick and wood and create a muted but stunning effect with a warmth of colour around the altar. On the west side an astonishing abstract of coloured panels enlivens the tall vertical wall that supports the ridge of the roof. A truly outstanding modern church which has been listed by Historic Scotland as a Grade A building, one of the youngest in Scotland.

The church is open to the public each day between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
