I am delighted to welcome you to our new website here in the Parish of Carrickfergus and Whitehead. I hope that you will find here all the information you seek about our parish family and about the life of the wider Catholic community.

It will become clear to you as you visit our website that our parish is blessed by a vibrant spirit of voluntary service, outstanding leadership and example being given by our dynamic Parish Pastoral
Council.

Another distinguishing characteristic of our parish is its robust culture of Safeguarding, ensuring an ethos fully compliant with diocesan and national policy and standards for the protection and
nurturing of children and adults at risk.

Ours is a coastal parish set in a beautiful geographical location in East Antrim, a place that has played an important role in the history of Ulster. We are the inheritors of a long and rich religious and cultural tradition which we would be privileged to share with you.

Praised be Jesus Christ in the Church!
