A warm and welcoming Catholic parish in Bingham, united with our sister parish of St John’s, Portobello.
Come exactly as you are.
Visit our sister parish: St John’s
St Mary Magdalene is a Catholic parish serving the people of Bingham and the surrounding area in Edinburgh. Together with our sister parish of St John’s, Portobello we strive to be a place of prayer, friendship, and care for all. Whether you are visiting for the first time, returning after some time away, or simply seeking a peaceful place to reflect, you are very welcome here.
St Mary Magdalene and St John’s are communities where everyone is invited to feel at home. You don’t need to know what to do or where to sit — just come as you are. We hope this website gives you a sense of who we are, and we would love to welcome you in person.

Whether you are visiting Bingham, exploring Edinburgh’s architectural heritage, or simply seeking a peaceful place for prayer and reflection, you are very welcome here.

All liturgical services are livestreamed, with cameras focused on the sanctuary and worship area.
