Description
An account of the resource
<p>Glasgow's first post-Reformation Catholic Church has stunning d�cor and contemporary artwork, including Peter Howson's 'St John Ogilvie' and a baptismal font by Tim Pomeroy. Outside, the Italian Cloister Garden is a peaceful space with a memorial to the Arandora Star tragedy.</p><p>Today, St Andrew's Cathedral is seen in a new light since the renovation work completed in April 2011.</p><p>Visitors remark on the brightness and the colour which are now the features of a much-loved city-centre church restored to the people of Glasgow and welcoming all who come to visit.</p><p>The artwork and the imaginative cloister garden all enhance this sacred space. Within the Cathedral you can take time to appreciate the atmosphere of prayer and peace which embraces the visitor.</p><p>Guides will be available to give a flavour of what makes up the daily programme of this Church, and to describe the various artefacts and the artists behind them, such as the baptismal font by Tim Pomeroy, the painting of St John Ogilvie by Peter Howson, the sculpted doors by Jack Sloane and the late Hector McGarva and the altar and lectern by Archbishop Mario Conti and Neil Reid.</p><p>The Italian Cloister Garden, with its own entrance from Clyde Street, invites the visitor to read on the wall plaques the story of the Archdiocese of Glasgow and it�s Cathedral.</p><p>The monument in the centre courtyard recalls the sinking of the Arandora Star during the Second World War and the impact this event had on the Scots Italian community.</p><p>Come and walk among the mirrored plinths and reflect on the inscribed words from Scripture and literature.</p><p>�</p>
