On 22 August 1894 a solemn re-opening of the church took place as the sanctuary had been remodelled to accommodate 250 extra worshippers and an altar designed by Peter Paul Pugin built by Carruthers of Inverness as well as Stations of the Cross.

The sanctuary was remodelled with a new altar and tiles in order to conform with changes in liturgy heralded by the Second Vatican Council in 2014.

In 2005, Father James Bell became the first married Catholic priest to be ordained in Scotland.

A special dispensation from the Pope was made allowing him to not take up the normal vows of celibacy.

Laurence Gambella, on loan from Salford Diocese, is now the Acting Parish Priest.
