 
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)’

The Catholic Review notes that persecution and discrimination against Christians around the world is getting worse — that’s the stark warning from the pontifical charity that works with thousands of vulnerable Christian communities in 140 countries.
This Wednesday, 20th November, will mark "Red Wednesday", a commemoration held annually by Aid to the Church in Need to highlight the fact that today one in seven Christians face extreme hostility, violence and repression because of their faith in Christ.
On Wednesday evening, the Church of St John the Baptist will be bathed in red light as a symbolic remembrance of our persecuted sisters and brothers. During the evening Mass on Wednesday, we will also remember all those persecuted for their faith and we extend a warm welcome to everyone to come along on Wednesday to join our prayer together at Mass. |
