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) - 1997 St Patrick’s Church, William Street - 1835. 27th January 2013 Third 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.

It is what we remember of someone who has left us. Jesus spoke from the depths of his spirit, from what made him unique: Son of God, Son of Mary, Word of Heaven, Human Word, Bread of God, Human Flesh, for the life of the world, and at the very last he gave up his Spirit that his Spirit might live: the Spirit of wisdom to teach the true way of life, the Spirit of compassion to reach out to all of us, the Spirit of courage to follow through his work to the end, the Spirit of gentleness to invite each to the embrace of God, the Spirit of forgiveness to move on always to deeper love. And this Spirit gave him power, a power of conviction and of love so that the ears of all were on his word. This is the power of his people, the Spirit he shares through all time. What made him unique still invites all of us to be his people, the community of believers, the Church of God. PARISH - BE A PART OF IT OR BE APART FROM IT **************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR!
