The Roman Catholic tradition holds a distinctive place within British church life. The Roman Catholic Church in England, Wales and Scotland serves a Catholic population of several million, in full communion with the Pope. Parish life centres on the Mass and the sacraments, and many congregations have been renewed in recent decades by worshippers arriving from Poland, India, Nigeria and elsewhere. Weekly Mass attendance across Britain runs into the high hundreds of thousands. The tradition traces its modern form to the 1st century; hierarchy restored in England and Wales in 1850. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts roughly 4 million Catholics across the UK.
It is one of many congregations found across Scotland, where the Kirk has long stood at the centre of village and city life. Inverness is the county town of Highland and a focal point for church life in the area. Visitors are welcome, whether you live in Inverness or are simply passing through.
