Welcome to St. Columbanus
St Columbanus is a growing Church of Ireland parish on the Groomsport Road in the heart of Ballyholme village. We hope we can make you welcome on Sundays and to all of the activities which take place in Church and the Parish Centre through the week. As part of a fellowship of four Ballyholme churches, (Ballyholme Methodist, Ballyholme Presbyterian and the Church of the Holy Redeemer Ballyholme) our vision as a Christian community is to reach out in service and love, to make a real difference in our local community life.
A quick browse through our web pages will show you the very many ways you can get involved with what we are doing in Ballyholme. Above all, please know we will be glad to meet you at any point. It will be our pleasure to help you find your place in the life of our parish family – on the basic understanding that in terms of worship and witness we must all be free to respond to Christ in our own way and find our own spiritual level. Thanks for checking us out. Want to know more or need help to get to church? Email the Parish Office Read: News in the Pews
