St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, Carden Place, Aberdeen – Pro-Cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney

St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral, Carden Place is a welcoming and caring Christian community in Aberdeen City.

We are a church in the Scottish Episcopal Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney and a part of the global Anglican Communion. We meet in a building – known as the ‘Tartan Kirkie’ – as touched by history as it is accentuated by colour.
At whatever stage you find yourself in life, we welcome you to join us.

“He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters.”

(Psalm 23)
