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.

“The disciple simply burns his boats and goes ahead. He is called out, has followed the call, and there is no possibility of return. The old life is lost, and a new life has begun.”
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

- Newsletter – 9th February 2025Today’s gospel tells us the story of how Simon became a disciple whilst out fishing. His miraculous catch is a sign of Jesus’s divine power, and it leads Simon to recognize his own unworthiness and fall to his knees before Jesus. Jesus responds by calling Simon to follow him and become a fisher of men. This story is a powerful reminder that encountering Jesus isn’t about our own strength or our own accomplishments. It’s about recognizing our need for him, about trusting in his word, even when it doesn’t make sense. It’s about humbling ourselves before his divine power and allowing him to transform us.
