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 7th October 2012 Twenty-Seventh 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.

JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH CAR PARK WILL CLOSE AT 9.30 p.m. EVERY NIGHT Reflection The love of children Jesus had a way with children, a welcome for them, a love for them, and saw in them some of the qualities of openness to God. The innocence of children and their weakness touch the strings of love in our hearts. If we are people of love, true followers of Jesus, we will want the best for our children. We want happiness and love for them, good health and a meaning in their lives, we want them to find friends. We want to spare them the hardships of life and when we cannot, we want to give them a light to guide them in what will be the pain of life. We hope also to give them a way through the inevitable difficulties of love and of growth which they will find as they make their way through life. Can we give them the way of Jesus? He had a way with children because he is the Way to God. PARISH - BE A PART OF IT OR BE APART FROM IT **************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
