Elphin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes

Help Needed!
Basket collectors needed for Saturday evening and Sunday morning masses in Drum. There is a monthly rota in place but we do not yet have anyone for September, October, November or January. Thanks to those who have already volunteered and a warm welcome to anyone else who is interested. Please contact Fr. Michael or Drum Parish Office 090-6437125.

Autumn Stations
Anyone who would like to host the stations in their home this autumn is asked to contact Drum Parish Office at 6437125 to arrange a date. This is a lovely tradition which has been passed down through generations in our parish but would seem to be in decline in recent times. Perhaps you would consider hosting the station mass for your area to ensure the tradition continues for another generation.

Samaritans - Volunteers
Have you 3 hours per week to spare? Athlone Midlands Samaritans are holding an information evening for prospective new volunteers in Shamrock Lodge Hotel at 8pm on Monday 27th August, Thursday 6th September and Tuesday 11th September. For further information contact athlonesamsvolunteering@gmail.com
