Papal Award for Drumcree Parish Sacristan |
We are delighted to announce the wonderful news that the Holy Father, Pope Francis, has awarded the Bene Merenti Medal to our parish sacristan, Mr Francis Hagan, in recognition of his sterling work in the Parish of Drumcree and of his huge contribution to parish life here. We look forward to welcoming Archbishop Eamon Martin, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Armagh, to be main celebrant at the 10am Mass in St Patrick's Church on Sunday 10th February 2019 at which he will present Francis with this Papal Award. It is hoped that there will be a good turn-out of parishioners at this 10am Mass in St Patrick's to welcome Archbishop Eamon and to share the joy of this occasion with Francis and Hagan family members. Congratulations, Francis, on this recognition and achievement! |
