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.

“Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine.
Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am thine!”
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

- Newsletter – 16th March 2025Today’s passage from the Gospel of Luke we have the Pharisees warning Jesus that Herod wants to kill him. We know that Herod can be dangerous as he executed John the Baptist (Luke 9: 7-12). Why did the Pharisees warn Jesus? It could have been a genuine concern or to get him out of their territory. We see connections to Jesus, Jerusalem and death – what will happen as we reach Holy Week. The passage ends with Jesus speaking about wanting to gather people in under protective, sheltering wings like a Mother Hen. Promises of God to God’s beloved people are a thread through the readings.
