Connie The way you have written it, would suggest that it one of the Churches within Coleraine. When I was there last year, I think there was 5 Presbyterian Church and 4 Church of Ireland Church and I assume a RC or two as well. If no one can give you an answer contact the Coleraine Tourist Information Centre on Email colerainetic@btconnect.com and see if they can direct to you someone.

Coleraine had three Presbyterian Congregations: 1st Coleraine; New Row and Terrace Row. Not far from Coleraine were the congregations of 1st Dunboe and 2nd Dunboe Presbyterian in, respectively. These are respectively in the parishes of Dunboe and Formoyle. The word "Par" is often used to mean "near" from the French word for "by." Therefore, Par Dumbo is quite likely "par Dunboe or "near Dunboe."
