A very warm welcome to our parishioners and friends at home and abroad. Ballycastle (Ramoan) Parish is situated in North Antrim between the beautiful Glens of Antrim and the Causeway Coast. It includes within its bounds Rathlin Island and Glenshesk.

It is fitting that we should be part of the modern communication age since we were involved from its beginnings. It was on the spire of our church, St Patrick’s and St Brigid’s in Ballycastle, that Marconi erected a mast to link the mainland and Rathlin Island for the first radio broadcast.

WEBCAM VIEWING

The parish has installed a webcam in the church to broadcast Mass over the internet. This service will be beneficial for the parishioners abroad and for the sick and elderly at home.

Upgrade of Church Grounds

After much planning, work has begun on the car park, on disability access to the crypt and on general Health & Safety improvements to the church grounds. The work will start with the former site of the primary school, and over a phased regime involve the present car park.

We ask in anticipation for your patience and vigilance with any inconvenience caused during the work.
