Admin History
The Vincentians initially came to Lanark in 1859, when the new Church of St Mary’s, Lanark, was opened. When the parish of Lanark was handed over to the Vincentians it comprised, Carstairs, Kirkfieldbank, New Lanark, Ponfeigh and Douglas. The first Superior was Matthew Kavanagh CM. The church built in the 1850’s was destroyed by fire on 13th April 1907 and a new building was later opened on the same site in 1910.

St Mary’s Hospital, Lanark, was run in connection with the Community.

In 2006 the decision was made for the Vincentians to withdraw from the Parish of St Mary’s, after almost 150 years service. A Farewell Mass was held on the 11th June 2006 at St Mary’s Church, Lanark.
