Drum Spring Stations
If you are due to have the Station Mass for your area, you need to contact Drum Parish Office at 6437125 (during office hours 9.30am - 1.30pm to book a date and time that suits. Thank you to those who have already booked. There are some areas where the tradition had died - maybe its time to rekindle this marvellous tradition. Make that phone call - it doesn't have to be "your turn!"
