Welcome

Church of St John the BaptistChurch of St Patrick

On behalf of the Parishioners, Religious and Clergy of Drumcree Parish, I welcome you to our website. Thank you for joining us.

Perhaps you have gone online to learn more about the Parish you live in – welcome neighbour. You may come from further afield and simply want to know something about Drumcree Parish – I hope that your visit will transform distance into friendship.

Maybe you wish to access information about our Catholic Faith; the celebration of the Sacraments; or some of the many organisations that are active in our Parish.

Whatever the reason for your visit, I trust that you find it worthwhile. I pray that the time you spend on the website will assist you in your journey through life.

Prayerfully,

Very Rev Michael O’Dwyer PP VF

Lent 2010

Temptation of ChristLent is the penitential season during which we prepare ourselves to celebrate the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In imitation of Our Lord’s 40 days in the desert we are called upon to engage in works of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. This holy season invites us to acts of penance through which we can separate ourselves from sin and become more united to the suffering of Christ.

Alpha Course

Asking questions? Looking for answers?

AlphaThe Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed manner over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions. It’s run in a low key and friendly environment. Over 3 million people in the UK and Ireland have already found it to be a worthwhile experience.

 

Starting Wednesday 13th January 2010 at 7.00 pm
Ashgrove Community Centre, Portadown


Alpha has developed a reputation as an inspirational programme of Christian education and formation, producing excellent results and having a long-lasting and positive effect for those who participate and beyond. I pray that this force for good in our world, so necessary to counteract all that is contrary to the Gospel, may continue to grow and develop.
