 
Mission Statement of the Parish of Drumcree
Our Parish of Drumcree 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.
‘For the Church the new world of cyberspace is a summons to the great adventure of using its potential to proclaim the Gospel message. This challenge is at the heart of what it means to “put out into the deep” (Lk 5:4)’

'Fish on Friday' - more quiet nourishment for the soul this Lent |
|
Each year in Lent God offers us the invitation to reflect, pray and act as we celebrate the journey of Holy Week and the Joy of Easter.
The Knights of Saint Columbanus once again invite you to a short period of peaceful reflection before the Blessed Sacrament each week in Lent. Taking place after the Friday evening 7pm Mass during Lent and lasting thirty minutes, our quiet period of reflection and prayer will be centred on the Gospel readings of our journey to Easter.
Why not come and join us for Mass and Reflection, and give God that quiet space to speak to you in a special way this Lenten season. We very much look forward to seeing you each Friday. |
