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 6th June 2010 Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) 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.

June Triduum - 17th to 19th - theme this year: Christ yesterday, today and forever - praying in today's world. Concluding with Garden Party on the Saturday evening. Thursday evening theme - praying for healing. Healing is a complex matter! Jesus sometimes responded to great need with instantaneous healing, but in other situations, Jesus' teaching and healing action took place over a period of time. Some people heal quickly; others take more time. Healing is greatly affected by the depth of hurt and pain from which one is trying to recover. The same is true regarding the great range of reactions experienced by individuals experiencing any kind of relationship breakdown. Thursday evening may help your healing process and encourage you to move on to a renewed faith and increased spiritual vitality. Healing is a call to holiness; a holiness that must be reflected in every sphere of our personal and family and communal lives. A holiness that embraces all is the surest means of bringing about the change of heart that will enable us to reflect the light of Christ to the world. Come and pray. Lord, I am hurting, heal me.

Bus from Lurgan. Tel: 38344284. Mount Mellery Trip 12th June All Reflection In memory of me Isn't memory powerful? The mysterious way you can suddenly remember where you left something, or the details of a conversation, or the touch of a hand, the scent of a rose. And you remember with feeling; or you remember the bitter smell of poverty, the fear of being threatened in any way, and you recall the event and relive the feelings. The feelings and the thoughts - in the memory. And the past can become real in the present. What a life stood for can be recalled, relived, rejoiced in. Memory can almost bring a person alive - people who are absent, deceased. That's because real life among us is never dead. `Do this in memory of me.' In memory of Jesus; not just a retelling of what he said, but a reliving of what he did and stood for; in memory of me and in memory of the living poor, in memory of me and in memory of the living lonely, and in memory of the starving and homeless; in memory of me and in memory of the ones who came for healing, and in memory of the ones who came for forgiveness; in memory of me and in memory of the ones who came for acceptance and in memory of the ones who came searching for God. And in memory of one who died for others. `Do this in memory of me,' and remember me alive today in all who live. Do this in memory of me. 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 |
