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 13th June 2010 Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time 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 All are invited to the Lord's table Inviting Jesus into life is always a risk. For it means welcoming joyfully the challenge of the gospel, to live in justice, faith and compassion, and to see Jesus in others. Those we love and those we find difficult, those we worry about and feel responsible for, these are Jesus, and those whose lives are wrecked or damaged by society's neglect and greed, these too are Jesus. The child at home giving trouble. The poor looking for some help - each is Jesus. The student worried about an exam, husband or wife on a bad day - each is Jesus. The child at home bringing joy and life. A man or woman giving time to the poor - each is Jesus. young people offering talents and service to others. The love of husband and wife - each is Jesus. People who drive us mad, people who have offended us a lot, these are Jesus. People who have let us down and who have betrayed us - these are Jesus. And if we are at Jesus' table, they will be there too. The love of Jesus is all-inclusive: you and I on our best days, and also on our worst, are included in this friendship, forgiveness and love. All are invited to the table of Jesus, all are welcome at the Eucharist, all are forgiven, all are called to a new life. A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
