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 6th November 2011 Thirty-Second 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.

We are using these new prayers at Mass: Penitential Act A I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grevious fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Orate, fratres Priest: Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

Reflection They brought oil as well as their lamps We are each the light of God; a light given with the candle given to our parents in baptism, the light of faith to guide our steps in the way of Jesus, to enlighten our minds in the truth of Jesus, to nourish our love with the life of Jesus. You are light, you are the lamp of God, and this light is the warmth of God. And the power of the lamp is the love of God. In the Eucharist our light is brightened, and the lamp is renewed, as a waterfall generates electricity, as love generates new life. Take time to refresh your spirit, take time for prayer, take time for Eucharist, take time for wonder, be surprised by God in the November sunrise, in the Christmas anticipation, in the evening's winter peace, and your light glows new again. They brought oil as well as their lamps. PARISH - BE A PART OF IT OR BE APART FROM IT **************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
