Roman Catholic congregations represent one enduring branch of the Christian faith in these islands. 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 belongs to the broad community of churches across Scotland, where the Kirk has long stood at the centre of village and city life. Wishaw lies within North Lanarkshire, whose county town is Motherwell. First-time visitors and regular worshippers alike will find an open door.
