Masses outside Lerwick

Services outside Lerwick will be posted here as arranged. St Margaret's is the only Catholic Church in Shetland but we have five Mass stations in the North Mainland and the islands which are served monthly when possible.

Brae Kirk, near Brae Public Hall.

Mass in the Church of Scotland Kirk is normally celebrated on the second Sunday of the month at 3 p.m. Brae is approximately 23 miles north of Lerwick. This Mass centre replaces Voe Kirk which has been closed. It serves Catholics in the north Mainland.

Mass is celebrated in the old Kirk on Papa Stour monthly, normally on the second or third Wednesday of the month when possible. We aim also to have a Parish Retreat Day on the island four times a year (September, December, March and June).
