Participating Parishes from the Diocese of Down & Dromore

DRUMGATH & DRUMGOOLAND
Drumgath and Drumgooland are two parishes nestling in the Mourne country in County Down. Drumgath is situated in the small country town of Rathfriland while Drumgooland is properly rural lying between the Dromara Hills and the Mourne Mountains. Between them there are 230 families. Each church has a strong identity with an active and involved congregation. The group has a good range of organisations with activities for all age groups. This includes Mother’s Union, Bible study, Scouts, Guides, Sunday School and Youth Fellowship and Youth Club. Recently we had a combined outreach using missioners Paul Hoey and Roger Murphy. This was a follow-up to another mission with the same team held in Feb 2007. Both missions were fruitful and very encouraging. Our interest in the Church21 programme is to steer the parish group to meet the changing needs of our congregations and communities in the 21st century and to extend God’s Kingdom.
