Livingston & East Calder Catholic Parishes

Welcome to Livingston and East Calder Catholic Parishes, a cluster of four Roman Catholic parishes in the West Lothian area, comprising St Andrew's in Craigshill, St Peter's in Deans, St Philip's in Dedridge and St Theresa's in East Calder. 

We offer Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation and other liturgical celebrations across our four parishes.  Our Mass Schedule for this week can be seen below.

A range of groups and activities are offered in our parishes which aim to accompany our parishioners on their journey of life, supporting their spiritual, pastoral and personal needs.  This includes preparation for the sacraments of Baptism and Marriage, and for the Christian Initiation of Children and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults for anyone wishing to explore the Catholic faith.  For more information, please visit the various sections on our site.

Our parishes support four primary schools - Howden St Andrew's, St John Ogilvie's in Deans, St Ninian's in Dedridge and St Paul's, East Calder, one secondary school - St Margaret's Academy, St John's Hospital and various sheltered housing projects, nursing homes and homes for older people.

We all find ourselves in a new situation at this time.  Let’s take the opportunity to enjoy each others company, to care for our family and neighbours and to deepen our relationship with God.  There are many different resources available on the internet for our spiritual life.  The Archdiocesan website is going to stream Mass in English, Polish and the Syro Malabar Rite.  If you are in need of a priest, please phone the office number (Tel: 432 141) as usual.  The advice for funerals is that it should be for family members only.

All Churches and services are now cancelled.  Be assured that you are remembered in the Masses being said each day by the priests of the Team. Continue to pray, reflect and read the bible in this time of uncertainty.
