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 30th May 2010 Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity 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 Tuesday - Friday 7p.m. St. Patrick's Monday - 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 and 2nd Sunday 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.

Reflection Glory on the face of Christ The glory of God is on the face of Christ; the bruised and risen face of Jesus is God's everlasting glory; in the death and resurrection of Jesus is the life of the Spirit sent among us. And we are his glory, the glory of God we carry in earthenware vessels. As the material of an earthen jar, or any piece of pottery, is fragile and can easily be destroyed, so we carry the glory of God in our bodies and spirits. God entrusts the love and care he has for the world to the lives of his people. Each of us is a space for the Spirit to inhabit, a place for the Father to live a face on which the light of Jesus shines. As a river carries water, we carry God, as the sun carries light, we shine out God, as a face mirrors a personality, we mirror God. This is the glory of God, Father, Son and Spirit, the one who is mother and father of us all, and gives life to all, one who is saviour and friend and brings wholeness, the one who is peace and courage and brings conviction. A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY! A DAY IN EVERY WEEK 10 MINUTES OF PEACE AT 10 AM ON 10TH DAY OF 10TH MONTH 20TEN. ********** THE JOY RULE THINKOF JESUS THINK OF OTHERS THINK OF YOURSELF |
