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 11th May 2014 - 4th Sunday of Easter (World Day of Prayer for Vocations to Priesthood & Religious Life) 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 7pm St. Patrick’s Tuesday - Saturday 10 am Monday 7pm (Novena -Miraculous Medal) Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Thursdays in St. John the Baptist Church from 8am to 6.55 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.
