Holy Spirit Catholic Church History
In the early 1960s a large number of houses were built in the St. Ninian's area of Stirling, at that time part of the parish of St. Mary's in Stirling. This increase in population lead to Sunday Mass being celebrated in the hall of St. Modan's High School. It was recognised that a new church was needed.
Foundation Stone
On Tuesday 10th March 1964 the most Reverend Gordon Joseph Gray, Archbishop of St. Andrew's and Edinburgh, laid the inscribed foundation stone of Holy Spirit Church. Sealed in a hollow in the stone was a silver container with an account of the ceremony itself and a tribute to those who contributed to the building of the church.
Paying tribute to the clergy, craftsmen and supporters of the church who had made possible the construction of this new house of God, the Archbishop said "Such a project could not have been undertaken but for the fervour and generosity of a strong band of Catholics living in the area." Extract and picture from Stirling Observer 17th March 1964
Opening and Solemn Blessing of new Church
On Sunday 20th December 1964, the new church was opened and solemnly blessed by Archbishop Gray. The architect of the new church was J.R. Boyd Barret, Chartered Architect, Cork, and the Quality surveyor Mr A.B. Wilkinson, Principal Contractors were D80 Ogilvie (Builders) Ltd., Stirling. The cost was £40,000.
The building is 92 feet long and 36 feet wide and has capacity for 400 people. Pre-stressed concrete piers rise to form the tall, slender arches of timber panelled ceiling of the church. A beautiful original feature in the church is the large stained glass window that illustrates the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Picture taken from -Stirling Observer, 22nd December, 1964
Canon Rourke
The first Parish Priest was Canon Patrick J. Rourke. Canon Rourke was born on 25th March 1916 and ordained at all Hallows College in Dublin on the 22nd June 1941. He remained as Parish Priest in Holy Spirit from 1964 until his retirement. He celebrated both his Silver Jubilee(1966) and his Golden Jubilee (1991) in the Holy Spirit Parish. He died in Ireland in 2006. Canon Rourke oversaw the alterations to the Sanctuary around 1990, when the altar rails were removed and a new altar created from the altar stones to allow Mass facing the people in line with changes following the second Vatican Council.
Canon Rourke was very proud of his church and sourced the beautiful marble Stations of the Cross that were purchased by families in the parish. The mosaic at the Our Lady altar is also a special feature that he sourced.
Silver Jubilee Year 1989
On the 21st December 1989 , in the Solemn Dedication Silver Jubilee Year Mass was celebrated by Most Rev Keith Patrick O'Brien.
40th Anniversary 2004
Cardinal O'Brien also celebrated the 40th Anniversary Mass for the parish on the 18th March 2004. Picture from Scottish Catholic Observer 26th March 2004.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
