Parish organisation
From 2017 the many parishes in Edinburgh have been organised into clusters to better coordinate their resources. St. Mary's is one of four parishes in Cluster 5 along with Holy Cross, St. Margaret Mary's and St. Margaret (DM).[2]
The parish is part of the Oblate Centre of Mission Edinburgh which also includes St John Olgilvie's, Wester Hailes and the priests of both parishes.
