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.

There is no VIP section, no conditions for being invited, he has prepared his banquet his Eucharist, for all peoples. The only condition is that we want to be here, that we know our need for God, our need to be nourished by the Bread of Life, to be forgiven by the Word of God, and then we are sent to be this Bread of Life. The bread is baked, blessed, broken, and shared in the name of Jesus, as the bread of life was baked, blessed, broken and shared by his disciples. Nourish us, Lord Jesus, with the bread that satisfies our hunger for meaning and direction in our lives, our thirst for a companionship that is always faithful, our hope for the fullness of forgiveness, our deep need to know we are totally loved. No conditions for joining in this banquet; come to God as you are, and you will return blessed, refreshed, strengthened and sent forth in his name.
