A bit about us:
Designed by the architect John Lynn, St. John's church was opened for worship in 1832 but was not sufficiently endowed to be consecrated until 1853. It has been discribed by the Ulster Architectuial Heritage Society as "a pleasantly situated handsome granite church set on the slopes of Slieve Donard and overlooking Lecale."St. John's is a medium-sized parish with a warm congregation. Newcomers are made most welcome and there are plenty of oppertunities for involvememtn in parish life. Worship patterns cater for both traditional and modern outlooks.
The Future:
Over the next five years we hope to build on our strongths, especially in terms of increasing our co-operation with the other churches in Newcastle.
Within the next year, our new parish hall will be completed and we look forward to using these new facilities in new initiatives aimed at building up our parish life.
