Participating Parishes from the Diocese of Clogher
Holy Trinity Dromore is a small rural church family which seeks to be inclusive of those wanting to follow Jesus as their Lord. We are looking forward to working with the Church 21 project to clear our vision.
Magheracross Parish is centred on the village of Ballinamallard, about 7 miles from Enniskillen, County Fermanagh. The village has seen significant growth in the past 20 years and thankfully the congregation broadly reflects the make-up of the wider population. Good opportunities exist for children’s and youth work, and outreach to young families. Our challenges are to grow leaders and to encourage both ‘core’ and ‘fringe’ members to step up in their faith.
The Galloon Group of Parishes consist of Newtownbutler and Sallaghy straddling the border and Drummully Parish in the South. The parishes want the help of Church 21 to help us move forward in a situation where attendances and income are falling and the Protestant population is dwindling in number. We were badly affected in the Troubles, as were many parishes, with ‘ethnic cleansing’ being practised, so that many parishioners are still coming to terms with loved ones having been murdered. We are determined to claim our blessings in Christ and to move on, developing our fellowship and sense of future direction in order to reach the full potential we have to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. ‘Come, Lord Jesus, come’.
