Welcome to our Catholic Parish Community of Largs and Millport.

Here at St Mary, Star of the Sea in Largs and Our Lady of Perpetual Succour in Millport we share  a welcoming and vibrant Catholic community, called to live out our faith through prayer, the celebration of the Eucharist, and active service to one another. Whether you are a lifelong parishioner, a visitor, or someone new to the area—or simply curious about the Catholic faith—you are warmly invited to share in the gifts of our Church: the sacraments, fellowship, formation, and the joy of belonging to a community rooted in Christ.

Together, our two churches seek to be places of encounter, hope, and hospitality, where every person is valued and encouraged to grow in faith. We look forward to welcoming you.

Thinking about becoming a Catholic?

Curious about God's plan for you?

RCIA is a rite of the Church designed to assist prospective members to become part of the Catholic Church. It applies both to unbaptised people and to adults who have been baptised into other Christian denominations.

The programme for 2026-2027 has already started and finishes at Easter, with four “diving deeper” sessions after Easter. Pre-Easter meetings take place weekly on a Tuesday at 7pm in St. Mary’s parish church Hall. The schedule can be found below. The post-Easter meetings take place every three weeks at the same time in the same place.

Anyone interested in hearing more about how they can participate in the programme, either to deepen their own knowledge, to support others or as a pathway into being received into the church, please contact Fr. Peter. Tel:01475 740019, extension 8. Email: peter.magee@rcdg.org.uk

A dedicated Parish Shrine -  St. Carlo Acutis

Saint Carlo Acutis was a typical teenager with an extraordinary devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist. He had a passion for computers, video games, football, and his pets; he also attended Mass daily, prayed the Rosary, and utilised his talents to spread the faith online. Canonized in 2025, he is frequently referred to as the Church's first "millennial saint" — and he has become a beloved friend and patron of our parish.

Explore our dedicated St. Carlo Acutis section, where you’ll uncover all the insights necessary to understand our special connection with this extraordinary young Saint.
