About


Maghera Parish Caring Association was founded by the Church of Ireland Parishes of Maghera and Killelagh, in response to a vision over the needs of our local community. The MPCA employs staff to cover multiple project areas, including Youth, Children & Family, Seniors, and Community Outreach.

This blog brings together writing from many different people on our staff team and beyond. As such, what appears here may not always represent the viewpoint of the MPCA or the joint parishes!

For more on the MPCA and the churches it works with, click to the main website here.

If you're familiar with our work, and would like to contribute to this collaborative blog, just e-mail your scribblings, photos, links, etc. to blogs@magheraparish.co.uk. We can't promise that everything will get past our Basement-dwelling censorship elves, but if it's good, we'll share it with the world!

Open Air Concert & BBQ - 13th August

Quench at Killelagh Parish Church are hosting an open air concert at Davitts Park in Swatragh on Friday 13th August at 8pm, with special guest Hugo Duncan and his band. All proceeds are in aid of Killelagh Church roof fund.


The young people of Killelagh Parish Church have been inspired by their faith in God and love of their church to form a youth group. The youth group have already held a sponsored sleep over in the Church building which raised a magnificent sum of £1000.

The youth group will stand out from the crowd in their new Quench hoodies which were gratefully sponsored by RT Boyd & Co, Michael Davitts, Barry Turner and Boyd Commercials.

Killelagh Church is 150 years old and this is the first youth group associated with the Church, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for getting Quench up and running.

We look forward to seeing you on the 13th August, tickets can be purchased from the Post Office in Swatragh or you can also pay at the gate on arrival. For more details on this event or any in the future please contact Heather on 07759964550.
