Here at Carfin we would like to invite you to experience a unique place for prayer and reflection. Within the grounds Carfin holds four quite different areas.

Enjoy the grounds of the Grotto for both structure prayer through the many services throguhtout the year and the tranquil surroundings including the Glass Chapel for private prayer and reflection.

Situated within the grounds is the Scottish National Reliquary which is recognised as one of the largest collections of authenticated relics outside of the Vatican, with over 700 authenticated relics and many more historical artefacts on display.

The Pilgrimage Centre was opened in June 1996 with the official opening by the late Cardinal Thomas Winning taking place a short time after on the 11th September 1996.

Come join us and take the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims of the past. Learn more about the pilgrims in a fascinating display of pilgrimage through the ages and from around the world.

Again visit the church of St Francis Xavier and take time out of the everyday busy life to pray, reflect and just enjoy the most beautiful place left to us by our forefathers.
