PARISH OF DRUMCREE Mission Statement: Our Parish is a Christ-centred community. In Baptism we are challenged by the Spirit to live and share the Gospel message. Through proclaiming the Gospel message to all, Growth in Faith, Liturgy, Justice Issues and Ecumenism we extend our love and care to all people providing support in renewing and deepening our faith. We value the gifts and talents of each of our Parishioners and invite them to use these in responding to Christ's invitation to all of us to follow Him and spread the Good News to the whole world. www.drumcreeparish.com St. John the Baptist Church, Garvaghy Road, (1777) - 1977 St. Patrick's Church, William Street - 1835 12th July 2009 Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Mass Times: St. John the Baptist Saturday 7 p.m. Sunday 8.30 & 11.30 a.m. St. Patrick's Sunday 10 a.m. Weekday Masses: St. John the Baptist Tuesday - Friday 7p.m. St. Patrick's Monday - Saturday 10 a.m. Monday 7p.m. (Novena - Miraculous Medal) Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Thursdays in St. John the Baptist Church beginning at 6 p.m. Devotions 1st and 2nd Sunday Confessions: St. Patrick's Saturday - 12.30 - 1.15 p.m. St. John the Baptist Saturday - 6.15 - 6.45 p.m. Baptisms: Every Saturday, 5 p.m. Registration for Baptism must be made in St. John the Baptist Church, after Friday evening Mass, two weeks prior to date.

Reflection Sent out in pairs In the centre of our lives, of every day and week, in work and in the home, we live in a circle of our relationships We know that problems are diminished and burdens lightened, by sharing them with another. Decisions come more easily when we talk them over, suffering is lessened by the comfort of another. And whenever we meet in the name of Jesus, in the name of love, in the name of justice, he is with us. To preach his word, he sent out his disciples in pairs, for we do not live our faith alone. Like a river gathers its fullness from the smaller rivers flowing into it, we grow in faith from the faith of others. In prayer together, in sharing struggles of faith, in helping another in sorrow, in gathering together to work for justice - whether in pairs or larger groups, we are engaged in the work of Jesus, the one who worked with and sent others on his work of God. |
