About
Our patron saints
Two saints of the sixth century who carried the Gospel through these islands, a thousand years before the Reformation.
Our church is dedicated to St Columba of Iona and St Kentigern of Glasgow. Orthodox Christians honour them as our own: saints of the one undivided Church — from the centuries before Christians of East and West were separated — whose faith we share and whose prayers we ask. For Orthodox Christians, asking a saint's prayers is like asking a trusted friend to pray for you.
St Columba of Iona
Columba (521–597) was an Irish monk and abbot who founded the island monastery of Iona, off Scotland's west coast — and from Iona the Gospel spread through Scotland and the north of England. We keep his feast on 9 June.
St Kentigern of Glasgow
Kentigern (died c. 614), known affectionately as Mungo — “dear one” — was the first bishop of Glasgow, and its patron saint to this day. We keep his feast on 13 January.
