These four churches seek to be welcoming and open for anyone.
At the heart of everything we do is a desire to worship Jesus and share him with our community.
Generally our services follow the structures of the Church of Ireland Book of Common Prayer, in a relaxed and relatively informal setting.
St Margaret’s is the Parish Church of the town, and seeks to reach out. In 2017 we will be opening a Community Centre with drop–in facilities which we hope will be of particular service to residents in the town.
Hollymount is a beautiful church with a wide range of membership from across the area. It’s just outside Downpatrick. The setting is intimate and beautiful. We have a lot of children in our services and always seek to welcome more.
Seaforde is a Church with a rich history richly connected to the village. We are the only church in the heart of the village and we try to be a blessing to Seaforde itself and nearby villages.
Tyrella is a small congregation of committed people who meet each Sunday evening. In the winter this is a cosy setting near the Coast, and in the Summer the beauty of the setting is inescapable.
St.Margaret: In the centre of Downpatrick, in Church Ave with access at two points, from Church Street and from Church Avenue (upper gate always unlocked).
