Some Photos from the Armagh Prayer & Spirituality Group's Icon exhibition in Drumcree Pastoral Centre during Advent & Christmas 2013.

Fr Gabriel Harty visited the Parish in October for two days to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. At the Saturday Vigil, he concelebrated Mass and gave the Homily. At the Monday Night Novena Mass, he led the Rosary before Mass and then preached and prayed the Novena Prayers during the Mass.

On September 29th, 2013, Mr Martin Barlow along with four others, was ordained to the Permanent Diaconate. On Monday 30th, he assisted at Mass with Fr O'Dwyer and then met some parishioners afterwards. On Saturday 5th October, Martin assisted at the Saturday Vigil Mass, with a Parish Reception afterwards in the Pastoral Centre.

During the visit of the Papal Nuncio, and as it was Father’s Day, the children sent the Holy Father, Pope Francis a present. 

A letter from the Secretariat of State at the Vatican dated 5th July says
     “Dear Children, His holiness Pope Francis was pleased to receive your kind message and he thanks you for your framed Father’s Day greeting.  The Holy Father, in requesting your continued prayers for himself and for his ministry as Bishop of Rome, assures you of his prayers.  He sends his blessing to you and your families.
  Yours sincerely
      Bishop Anjelo Becciu

(A photo of Pope Francis was included in the letter - both are displayed in the Sacristy of St. John the Baptist Church).
