‘Ecumenical Elevenses’ in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

 Wed 29 Jan, 10.30am, ‘Ecumenical Elevenses’




A short service of prayer in St Mary’s Westport, and time of fellowship and friendship over a cup of tea in  Carrowbeg House (beside St Mary’s Church). Go on, go on, go on! 

Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) write this in this special week:

As we celebrate 1,700 years since the Council of Nicaea, the worship service has at its heart, the Nicene Creed. Reflecting this, the scripture readings for this year focus on belief.

We are invited to reflect on the story of Martha’s confession of faith in Jesus as narrated in John 11:17-27. Each is called to sit with Jesus’ provocative question to Martha: “Do you believe this?”


Please note this change of venue from HTW to St Mary’s Church Westport due to church closure.

We apologise for any inconvenience, and look forward to seeing you!


Organised by St Mary's Westport and Holy Trinity Westport.

Return to Inishbiggle, Sat 15 February 2025

  It was especially joyful for a few of us from mainland Mayo to step foot again on Inishbiggle on 15th February, having been prevented by the weather from sailing on our last attempt at the end of November 2024. While on this occasion it was lashing in Limerick, wet in Westport, and raining cats and dogs in Castlebar, the sun was splitting the clouds gloriously on the approach to beautiful Biggle. Also uplifting was to arrive at the church and on entering to find it looking, if not transfigured, transformed - for example, with its newly-stripped and repolished pews, clean floors, doors, harmonica and walls, and a close-to-spotless vestry into the bargain. Hats off and enormous thanks to the church wardens for the hours of painstaking work - truly a labour of love for this precious and important place of gathering and worship, emanating from a sincere love for God and his people, of all faiths and persuasions. Holy Trinity Inishbiggle conveys the message “Come on in! There’s plenty...
