St. Mary's Church, Stirling

St Mary's Church is a Roman Catholic parish church. It was built from 1904 to 1905 and designed by Peter Paul Pugin in the Gothic Revival style.

In 1835, a plot of land on Irving Place was bought for the construction of a Catholic church. In 1836, construction work began. In 1838, the first Catholic church in Stirling since the Reformation was opened. It was the Church of the Most Holy Trinity.

Towards the end of the 1800s, the church was becoming too small to accommodate the increasing Catholic population in Stirling. On 4 May 1904, the foundation stone of the current church, Saint Mary's Church, was laid by the Archbishop of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh, James Smith. Construction of the church was partially paid for by Lady Agnes Murray of Polmaise Castle. The church was designed by Peter Paul Pugin in the Gothic Revival style. In 1905, the church was opened.

Saint Mary's Church is in the same parish as Holy Spirit Church and Saint Margaret Mary Church in Stirling. Saint Mary's Church has two Sunday Masses at 6:00pm on Saturday and 11:00am on Sunday.
