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 24th June 2012 Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist 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 Do not be afraid Storms of life - which of us hasn't had them? About exams and jobs, in marriage and friendships. And our fears of things going wrong. What sort of fear does God calm? The fear of being rejected by people close to us, or the fear of love being lost. One of the worst things about death is the fear of being nothing. Or of losing God, like when Jesus was asleep in the boat. You might have had some experiences like that. Where God saved you. A big relationship breaking up, a child dying, a marriage ending, redundancy or unemployment, alcoholism - surviving with some happiness even when money was low. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted - maybe you knew that at tough times when you didn't go under and you knew that God was there. Be not afraid, for I am with you.
