St. Catherine's Episcopal Church
|
This
church was situated in Windsor Street. It is now the converted home of
St. Patrick’s brass band and has been since 1983. Previously to that
it was a quiet unassuming church and the only presence felt was that of
the Rev. Harry McGhee. He was chaplain
of a
local
scout troupe. His love of God was obvious. When he spoke his quiet voice
commanded respect and demanded to be listened to. In 1972 at the age of
75 he was ordained as a Minister achieving his life-long ambition. He
retired at the age of 85. When he died at the age of 86, his funeral was
attended by many of the local dignitaries and the British Legion formed
a guard of Honour.
There
are other religious bodies in Shotts such as the Gospel hail and the
Mission Hall in Dykehead. In Main Street, Stane, Jehovah’s Witness
have their Kingdom Hall.
