Bid to use Celtic’s US links to restore church
St Mary's Church in Glasgow's east end, where Brother Walfrid founded Celtic in 1887, has fallen into a state of disrepair over the decades, with £1m now required to complete structural improvements.The Catholic Church in Glasgow now hopes to capitalise on Celtic's links with the chapel and the resurgence of interest in the club's founder.
Monsignor Peter Smith, parish priest at St Mary's, is travelling to the gala convention in Las Vegas of 2400 Celtic fans on Friday to raffle a Celtic cross fashioned out of stone from the original parish hall in which the club was set up in November 1887.
