Who we are
St Mary Magdalene’s RC Church was built in 1958 and serves the south of Perth and extends to Aberdalgie, Abernethy, Arngask, Bridge of Earn, Dron, Dunbarny, Forgandenny, Forteviot, Glenfarg and Kintillo,
The church was designed by Peter Whiston of Edinburgh who also designed Scotland’s Cistercian monastery at Nunraw in East Lothian, the first new monastery in Scotland since the Reformation. It contains very interesting window by the Perthshire artist, William Wilson, and crucifix by Benno Schotz.William Wilson specialised in engraving then print making, but in 1937 refocused his attention to become the leading exponent of contemporary stained glass in the UK. Among Wilson’s other key works are a World War II memorial window at St Andrews University’s Chapel of St Salvator, unveiled by the Queen in 1950, and the Black Watch Memorial Window in Perth’s St John’s Kirk, unveiled by the late Queen Mother in 1955.
Today’s parish priest at St Mary Magdalene’s, Monsignor Charles Hendry, is now approaching the 60th anniversary of his ordination. Mgr Hendry was a 26-year-old assistant priest at St John the Baptist’s in Perth when the modernistic Craigie church was being built in 1958 and has served as priest in the Fair City for almost 40 years.
