St Dympna's Parish Dromore 2012

h & Church Groups
The Legion of Mary was first established in the parish in the early 1950s. The object of
the Legion of Mary is the Glory of God through the holiness of the members developed
by prayer and active cooperation in Mary and the Church's worth of advancing the
reign of Christ in the world. We meet on a Monday night at 7.30pm in the aratory of
St.Davog's.
Our work involves visiting homes in the parish with the rosary statue, praying the
rosary, distributing miraculous medals, brown scapulatas and leaflets to the family. The
treasures of our Catholic faith, holy mass, sacraments, prayer and Eucharist adoration
are promoted. We also visit the sick in nursing homes. There are six active members
in our group and new members are always welcome.
Choirs. The Senior Choir was established some 70 years ago. The purpose of the
choir is to provide music for all the major liturgical services during the church year.
At present there are 15 members in the choir, many there from the early years. New
members are always welcome. We also have a youth choir and the Harmonise choir.
The Pioneer Association was established in 1947. The purpose of the Pioneer
Association is to promote and raise awareness of the dangers arising from the abuse
of alcohol and drugs. The work includes enrolment of new members of the Pioneer
Association, meeting and attending Diocesan masses and retreats. There is also an
annual dinner dance.
St. Vincent de Paul in Dromore was founded in the 1980s in response to the growing
needs of the community. Since then numerous families have been helped with food,
clothing, household goods and fuel. They have helped with the cost of sending some
parishioners to Lourdes and Knock and the SVP holiday home in Bundoran. Another
facet of their work is visiting parishioners in their own homes and in residential homes
and hospitals.
This work would only be possible through the generous contributions of the community
at our Church door collections and the SVP shop in Omagh.
