Carnmoney-Parish-Church

Carnmoney Parish Church, 75, Church Road, Newtownabbey, BT36 6DJ - The present Parish Church, consecrated in 1856, is the latest of a long succession of churches that have stood near the north bank of the little river now known as the Glas-na-Bradden which has been translated as “Little St. Brigid’s River and the name of the stream points to St. Brigid, the pupil and disciple of St. Patrick in Dalaradia as a possible founder saint. The ancient well at the rear of the church known as “St. Brigid’s Well would tend to reinforce this belief.
