The church was first built in 1841. The architect was George Goldie. He built the church in the Italian Gothic architectural style. [3] Nine years later, the church became the centre of a parish. In 1865, the Passionists arrived in Scotland. They came from Ireland and began to minister to the parish. From St Mungo's Church, the Passionists went out and ministered to Catholics in other parts of Scotland, such as St Joseph's Church in Helensburgh in 1867. [4] In 1877, the church was altered, again to the designs of George Goldie. [3]
In 1899, the parish of St Stephen's Church in Sighthill became part of the same parish as St Mungo's and the Passionists minister to both churches. [5]
Next to the church, to the east, is St Mungo's Retreat. In addition, to the north is the parish hall that acts as a day centre. [5]
The church has four Sunday Masses they are at 6:00pm on Saturday and 10:00am, 12 noon and 7:00pm on Sunday. There are also weekday Masses at 10:00am and 12:15pm. [2]
