Houston - St Fillan's Catholic Church
Renfrewshire
St Fillan’s Catholic Church serves the rural community of Houston & Bridge of Weir in Renfrewshire. Our church is small but has important historical significance for Scotland, being one of the oldest Catholic Church buildings constructed post-Reformation (and the oldest in continual use in Renfrewshire) The church falls within the Houston Village Conservation Area (CA300) and the buildings were assigned a Category B listing in August 1977. Built in 1841, our church has served successive generations well, Our location is prominent at the entrance to the historic village of Houston, and presents an impressive architecture appreciated by the whole community.
Public will view the main part of the Church including viewing the Altar stained glass windows; the side church which once was the first St Fillan's Primary School; Church artefacts and a visit to the Church garden to view Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto which is situated in the garden.
