Welcome
A very warm welcome to our Parish website. Here in Larne, we have a thriving Catholic community worshipping in our two churches – St MacNissi’s in the town centre and St Anthony’s in Craigyhill. You can find here the details of our many parish groups and activities, our sacraments and life of prayer. Whether you are a regular, newly arrived or a passing visitor, you are always welcome to join in the life of the Parish.
Our Lord Jesus Christ showed us the way to the Father that our joy may be complete. By supporting one another in witnessing to our faith in God and walking the journey together, we form a community of faith. We share our highs and our lows, we share our celebrations and our struggles, and we place them all in God’s hands, knowing that He is our constant companion and guide, and that His plan is greater for us than any we could imagine for ourselves.
Wherever you are, we wish you every blessing.

Building Family, Building Love
In preparation for the World Meeting of Families, we have two sessions to unpack the richness of God's plan for family life in St Anthony's Hall. Each session will finish no later than 9.30pm, and will help us deepen our understanding of our own roles within our families and the community.
