Celebrating the Feast of St. John the Baptist
God's Blessing and sincere thanks to all who participated in celebrating Holy Mass and Benediction in the original Parish Church of St. John the Baptist on his feast day. It was a truly memorable and spiritual experience and revived precious generational memories. I used to cycle to St. John's from Aghavellan (?), s'funny, seemed much further on Sunday. Must be getting old! To try and paraphase an old saying: you can take the Church out of the Parish, but you cannot take the Parish out of the Church. Awesome!

week of prayer
Grateful thanks to all those involved in the organising of the week of prayer. A truly inspirational week.It obviously took a lot of courage for all the guest speakers but especially our married couple from the parish,to share their individual stories. A special thanks to them both. like the previous guest I too hope this will be the first of many such events for our parish, especially the finale garden party

Week of Sacraments
Congratulations to all involved. A wonderful week, culminating in the brilliant finale that was the "Parish Garden Party" to celebrate Father O'Dwyer's silver jubilee. This event really had something for everyone no matter what their age. It was enjoyed by all.

week of sacraments
Congratulations to all concerned on a fantastic week.It was great to see new faces within the parish becoming actively involved. The success was indeed down to the dedication and determination of our two fabulous clerics and mirrored their own deep spirituality. For that we thank God. Lets hope this hasn't been a one off!!

Simply Excellent
Congratulations on a very good and informative website. Now that the website is firmly established, may I suggest a page on the history of Drumcree Parish, including full details of parish administrators, priests, sisters, benefactors and characters. We owe a huge debt to past generations who struggled to make Drumcree Parish what it is today. If possible, links to registers of births, baptisms, marriages and deaths (and cemetery records)would be very much appreciated. Beannacht Dia. Pádraig

Challenge ahead
Martin Luther king once gave a speech which lasted 6 seconds it goes... You write the gospel a chapter each day by the deeds that you do and the words that you say .People read what you write whether faithless, or true what is the gospel according to you. As we enter our week of prayer and reflection may we practice our catholic faith which we received at baptism and try and live the life Christ showed us by word and action in the gospels. In faith, humility and love.

Music
What a great website - fantatic wey to keep up with things in the parish. I was wondering if anyone else remembers the music groups that used to perform on the alter every so often in St Patricks, as a young person this would encourage me to go to mass and enjoy it as well. It would be fantastic to have something like this again, if only once a month. We have a lot of talented musicans and singers throughout the parish, and this would be a great opportunity for them to show their talents and get involved in the parish as well. Maybe encourage those within the parish who maybe have stopped attending mass return.

what about a holiday
Why not start to run parish trips abraod like Fr. Toal R.I.P.use to back in the 70s It would be a great way for those who dont like travelling on their own to join a large group. Any ideas of where and when to travel? I am sure we could force one of our Priests to join us.I know we have the annual pilgrimage to Lourdes but what about other areas combining both pilgrimage and holiday we could start working on it now for next year give people a chance to save.
