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 16th October 2011 Twenty-Ninth 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 Monday 10am Tuesday - Friday 7p.m. St. Patrick's Tuesday - 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 & 2nd Sunday -October - June 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 Being thankful Let's be thankful for the simple things of life; for what is ordinary and everyday, for what we take for granted. Qualities of the body like health and energy, personal qualities like courage in any problems; for food and for shelter, for friendships and love in life. Can we be grateful also for what tries us in life, like failure and let-down, loss and downheartedness? For it may deepen our love and our appreciation of life. Let's be grateful for faith and for prayer, for the closeness of God in sacrament and love; for the meaning in life which comes from faith, family and love. It's good to be thankful, it keeps us humble and we know our place; that so much we have is from others. For what we cannot now be grateful, for the conflicts and what seems impossible in our lives, we offer in prayer and hope to God, knowing that he lives our life to the full. Thanks is the big word of our Mass, for Eucharist means thanks. Let's offer the care we give to others as a way of saying thanks to God.
