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 10th June 2012 Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ 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 Nourishment and energy for the journey In our hunger for love, God offers the nourishment of his love for us; a love which is total the total acceptance that each of us yearns for. In our hunger for wholeness wanting to know we are forgiven, God offers the nourishment of forgiveness, inviting us to leave the past where it best belongs - in his compassionate heart. In our hunger for meaning, God offers the nourishment of the word and life of Jesus, and we know, in all our confusion, that we are not lost. And in our desire to do good, to create a better world for people, to live in the cause of justice and peace, God offers energy and new hope. We know he is on our side, and we work, not on our own, but with him. In our desire to live in love, forgiveness and reconciliation, he offers the energy of his risen Son, and in our hopes to care for those we love, children and family, friends and the poor, he offers energy from our friendship with Jesus. In the Bread of Life, the body of Christ, God gives food for the journey. In the Wine of life, the blood of Christ, God gives energy for the journey. As we eat this food and drink this wine, we know we never walk alone. PARISH - BE A PART OF IT OR BE APART FROM IT **************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
