The Catholics from Inverkeithing and North Queensferry used to walk to Mass in Dunfermline, stopping at Masterton to say the Rosary, some feat when you remember that in those days you had to fast from food and drink from midnight if you wanted to receive Holy Communion.
Later, as the Catholic population increased due to an influx of Irish labourers, mostly from Donegal, to work in the coal-mining industry, and the construction the rail network and the Forth Bridge, Mass used to be celebrated by priests from Dunfermline in various houses, and, on an irregular basis in the cinema in Tintown.
However, eventually it was recognised that the number of Catholics demanded a permanent place of worship, and a plot of land was acquired from the McGrath family at Jamestown where St. Peter in Chains was built in 1913.
