Listen closely. What I am about to tell you begins in a place called Halfway. It is near Cambuslang and southeast of Glasgow. Here stands St Cadoc’s Catholic Church.
St Cadoc’s is more than just a building. It is a testament to faith and community. The story of St Cadoc’s begins with its namesake. St Cadoc was a Welsh saint. He found his place in Scotland.
The parish of St Cadoc’s was founded in 1949. A new church opened in 1955. Later, in 1960, the building of St Cadoc’s was completed. The address of St Cadoc’s Church is Rosebank Drive. It is located in Halfway, Cambuslang, Glasgow. The church’s phone number is 0141 641 3669.
Rev. Jose Cirilo Rodrigues has been the Parish Priest since 2005. The parish population is around 1200 people. St Cadoc’s offers several Mass times. There is a Saturday Vigil at 5.00 pm. Sunday mornings offer two services. One is at 10.00 am. The other is at 11.30 am. Weekday Mass takes place Monday to Saturday at 10.00 am. Holy Day of Obligation Masses include a Vigil Mass at 7.00 pm and a Morning Mass at 10.00 am. Confessions are heard on Saturdays from 9.30 am to 9.50 am and 4.15 pm to 4.45 pm. You can also request confession at other times.
St Cadoc’s also embraces modern technology. James Hannaway is a parishioner there. He started a blog for the church. Pope Benedict encouraged using the internet for evangelization. St Paul, St Francis de Sales, and St Maximilian Kolbe would likely have been bloggers. St Maximilian Kolbe used the press and radio to spread the Good News. He did this in Poland and Japan in the 1930s.
St Cadoc’s stands as a beacon of faith. It serves the community of Halfway. Its history is intertwined with the story of Cambuslang. The church is a place of worship and community. Remember St Cadoc’s as a place where faith and community come together. A place where tradition meets the modern world.
