Welcome to our mission in

Whithorn and The Machars

The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham arrived in Galloway in the south west of Scotland with the arrival of Fr Simon Beveridge who lives with his wife, Sarah, near Whithorn where he has established an Ordinariate presence in The Machars area of Galloway.

Whithorn was the location of the first recorded Christian Church in Scotland, Candida Casa, the White House, built by Saint Ninian around 397. St Ninian is considered to be the man who first brought the Christian faith to Scotland and his missionary activities took him to the far north.

Fr Simon assists in the Machars parish, celebrating the Vigil Mass for the parish of Whithorn each Saturday.  Each Wednesday he celebrates an Ordinariate Use Mass at 10.30am in St Martin and St Ninian's, Whithorn. See below for further details

Fr Simon will be delighted to meet with anyone who wishes to find out more about the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.
