My good friend Fr Gerard Byrne says a Latin (novus ordo) Mass every Sunday at 4pm in the beautiful late Victorian gothic Church of St Patrick's, Anderston in Glasgow. The Mass is a model of good practice for the ordinary form of the Roman rite - celebrated ad orientem, with the parts of the Mass all properly sung in Latin. A small schola sings the parts of the Mass. Once a month, they sing the full chants from the Graduale Romanum and on the other Sundays, they use the Graduale Simplex. New members for the schola would be warmly welcomed. This would be a good opportunity if you would like to learn to sing Gregorian chant. The practice each week is on Wednesday evening from 7.30-9.30pm. Contact email is: schola_glasguensis@hotmail.co.uk.

I've heard of this before.
I wish I still had the car. Though I'd never make it for practice, I'd still love to work out how to get there for Mass someday.
I work in the city and never knew about this either!
A wee sunday jaunt into Glasgow might be on the cards.
Oh man, why don't I live in Glasgow? The Schola which sings at the Latin Mass here is mens voices.
This is a Church with a very troubled past. How wonderful that a meaningful liturgy has been restored.
Mark, trains run from Edinburgh to Glasgiow Queen St on the half hour on a Sunday. The journey time is 45 minutes. St Pat's is a ten minute walk from Queen St Station or a 1 minute walk from Charing Cross (Charing Cross is two-minute train ride from Queen St)
What are you waiting for?
John - how right you are.
Thanks be to God.
The Schola/Mass now has a website

Good news. I shall have to come some time.
Hi! Just a wee comment, i am now regularly attending the Latin Mass, and even managed to coax my south african methodist boyfriend to come along a few times before he left.
I have felt that there is a certain peace about the Mass, and the Church, to me feels as though it is the holiest place i have ever been in.
So to anyone, in and around Glasgow, who is looking at re-awakening their faith, or even extending it, the Latin Mass is fantastic.
