Drum Station Mass
Thank you to all those who are hosting the Station Mass in their homes this spring (26th February to 8th April). To book a date and time to suit you, please ring the Drum Parish office at 090-6437125. There are a few areas that have not had a Station Mass in a long while - do not let the tradition die, make that phone call and get it started again!

Drum Active Age
Meeting on Tuesday 27th January at 3pm in Drum Hall. New members welcome.

Clann na nGael Ladies Training
Indoor Gaelic football training in Drum Community Centre, for under-10s on Tuesdays from 7-8pm and for under-12s on Thursdays from 8-9pm. As our U-12 Championship is much earlier this year (April-June), we need to prepare and train in advance. New members and existing members welcome.
