St Patrick's Ballymacarrett is an iconic building and the parish has a rich history as a vibrant East Belfast church community. It is strategically located close to the city centre, major rail and road networks and the Titanic Quarter, and Bishop David, with the support of Holy Trinity Brompton, plans to develop St Patrick’s into a “Resource Church”.
The vision is for St Patrick’s to be a reinvigorated, Spirit-filled worshipping community on the lower Newtownards Road. It will serve the local community, engage student populations and young families, proclaim the gospel, offer points of entry to a journey of faith (Alpha), teach the Bible and energise churches across East Belfast and the diocese.
Over the next year, refurbishment and reordering work will be carried out to upgrade the seating, heating, lighting, sound and visuals to create a warm, comfortable, well-equipped and welcoming building suitable for contemporary, vibrant worship, varied ministry and discipleship programmes and missional outreach. A dynamic, visionary leader will be appointed who will be supported by a staff team including a worship leader, children’s and youth worker and operations manager with the aim of launching the new worshipping community in 2026.
Easily accessible from Belfast City Centre and any part of East Belfast. The Newtownards Road is the principle route the East of the City towards Dundonald, Newtownards and the Ards Pensinula.
