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 1st July 2012 Thirteenth 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 Walking free in God The girl, once dead and lifeless, is given new power and new life by Jesus. She is to walk free. His word is for us to do the same. Bring life to each other. Raising the dead - this story is untrue to life - people are dead when they're dead. It's more the promise of eternal life and the hope of Jesus to bring comfort to sorrow. Jesus is giving a big example that he came to bring life. Ways we have been helped in bad times. Ways in which we find the right person at the right time. Miracles are like kindnesses people do for each other from their love and care and thoughfulness. Jesus brought life to a house of sorrow, but not by himself - he brought Peter, James and John; and any time he wants to do the work of God, he brings his followers, he brings you and me. Be a life-giver; the person who works those small miracles. Then Christ works through you. Then his words are in action and reality Walk free in the love of God. PARISH - BE A PART OF IT OR BE APART FROM IT **************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
