WELCOME TO ST. CHARLES BORROMEO PARISH
St Charles’ Parish was formed in 1897 in the Charleston area of Paisley. This was a thriving district situated in the south side of Paisley, which housed the Paisley Weavers in the early 1800s. In many ways it was a self-contained town within a town. The first St Charles’ Church was dedicated on 7th November, 1897 and was based originally in Union Street, Paisley. It moved to a new location in South Campbell Street in 1931 before returning to Union Street in 1986.WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO MASS
You are free to come to any Mass now! All our Masses are Public Masses.
We are still required to take people’s details for Test & Protect.- If you can, please check-in by smartphone, using the QR code which is at the entry to every bench. If you have a problem just give your details to the Welcome Team as you leave.
- Otherwise, we ask you to give our welcome team one name, a contact number and the number of people in your group as you come in. While there is no requirement for physical distancing, please do spread out through the whole church.

NET Scotland is a charity that was started by Fr. Jim and others to enable young people in Scotland to be evangelised by other young people. Each year a team is trained to work in our Catholic High Schools throughout Scotland. Even in the past academic year, in the midst of the pandemic, with great support from Schools and by adapting the ministry, our team were able to work with just under 5000 young people. We would be delighted if you could join us for the NET Commissioning Mass where Bishop John will be the Principal Celebrant. We want to thank God for the opportunities we will have in the year ahead to communicate the gospel message to the young people of Scotland and to pray for our m i s s i o n a r i e s a s t h e y t a k e u p t h i s commission. The Mass will take place here in St. Charles on Monday 27th September at 7pmRead More

Firstly, an apology.The registration for us to be licensed as a small lottery didn’t go smoothly this past year. This was no-ones fault, on either side, just a consequence of the strange times. To ensure that we were acting within the law, we have been waiting for this to be resolved before paying out to the winners of the 200 Club. Happily this is now resolved. Winners from Oct 2020-May 2021 have now been paid for all for whom we have bank details. The remaining winners from then and from June - September will be paid their winnings as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding with this. Thank you so much to everyone who continues to support the Church through the 200 club!Read More
