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 29th January 2012 Fourth 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 Monday 10am Tuesday - Friday 7p.m. St. Patrick's Tuesday - 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 & 2nd Sunday -October - June 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 And his reputation spread They talked about him, about the things he said and the way he said them, about the people he healed and their confidence in him, about his gentleness and compassion and the loving way he talked about his Father. Some people liked one quality, others another. Some liked his smile, others liked his touch. Some liked the new way of looking on religion and others liked the challenge in his message. And some did not like him - the people who wanted to cheat the poor, or oppress people with harsh religion; and people were guided by evil, by greed or abuse or by sin, heard about him, spoke badly of him, cursed him, told lies about him. Nobody was unmoved by this man. His voice reached everyone, his care for the poor, the lowly, the neglected, challenged the powerful and encouraged the weak. What have you heard of Jesus? What attracts you? Be glad that you love him be glad that you follow him, be glad that his reputation has spread to your life.
