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.

Reflection Gift of God through others The wheat was sown in the land and grew silently, hidden, day and night; the wheat was harvested by many human hands. And bread was made: threshed, shaped, baked, and its fragrance filled the house. The fragrance of God is the air we breathe. The gifts of life and of love are the sources of human strength. And like the bread on the table, life and love come from God shaped and nurtured by human hands. The bread of life is the work of human hands; the work of Mary and Joseph caring for Jesus, the food made by them nourishing the son of God. The bread of life is Jesus, given to us by Mary, by God; given to us by many human hands, the hands that care for us in life. Jesus is the gift of God through many others to each of us.
