Who we are

Prayer of Oscar Romero

It helps now and then, to step back

and take the long view.

The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts,

It is beyond our vision.

We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of

the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work.

Nothing we do is complete,

which is another way of saying

that the kingdom always lies beyond us.

No statement says all that could be said.

No prayer fully expresses our faith.

No confession brings perfection.

No pastoral visit brings wholeness.

No programme accomplishes the church’s mission.

No set of goals and objectives includes everything.

This is what we are about:

We plant seeds that will one day grow.

We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.

We lay foundations that will need further development.

We provide yeast that produces effects beyond our capabilities.

We cannot do everything

and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.

This enables us to do something,

and to do it very well.

It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way,

an opportunity for God’s grace to enter and to do the rest.

We may never see the end results,

but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.

We are workers, not master builders,

ministers not messiahs.

We are prophets for a future not our own.

“The ones who have a voice must speak out for those who are voiceless”. Blessed Oscar Romero

St. Mary's Church History

The Parish of Termonmaguirc, an upland area, rests gently in the shadow of the Sperrin mountains. Today the parish comprises 38 townlands, each bearing a significant name, purporting its historical value. The traditions of Irish people are the oldest of any race in Europe, north and west of the Alps.

This historic parish has been described as a relic sanctuary, preserving pre-Christian monuments, portal graves and dolmen tombs embellishing the countryside. These and other such monuments are located throughout the parish and demonstrate civilisation as far back as 4,500BCE. Examples of such historic sites are Cregganconroe, Creggandeveskey, Tanderagee, Crockdun and Bauck. Illustrations of the portal tombs and stone markers are seen in Athenree, Loughmacrory, Copney and the dolmen in the car park of St Colmcille’s Church.

St Colmcille’s Church, named after the patron of the parish, was blessed and rededicated by Cardinal O’Fiaich in 1989. The first Church in Carrickmore goes back to monastic times and it stood on the north side of Mullinalap. Another church is recorded in 1786. The present church of St. Colmcille was built under the guidance of Canon Vincent PP in 1846. It was completed in 1859.

St Mary’s Church, Loughmacrory, is under the patronage of the Mother of God. The first recorded Church in Loughmacrory was built in 1833 and in the years to follow many different features were added. On the 14th June 1987 the new St Mary’s Church was blessed and dedicated by Cardinal O’Fiaich.

The Church in Creggan is under the patronage of the 17th century martyred Archbishop of Armagh. Cardinal O’Fiaich rededicated St Oliver Plunkett Church on March 23rd 1986. In 1985 the renovation of the 1940 Church commenced. The first recorded chapel in Creggan was 1832.

Dean Brian Maguirc One of the outstanding members of the Catholic clergy in Ireland during the 17th century was Brian MacGurk, a son of this parish. He was gifted by God with a long life, excellent health, a good education and great intelligence. He was appointed Dean of the Diocese by St Oliver Plunkett, recognition of his tireless work and energy. Following persecution he died on 13th Feb 1713 in Armagh Jail. His memory is preserved in the parish by the fine Celtic Cross outside St Colmcille’s Church and Dean Maguirc college.

The power of Christian prayer Let no darkness overtake me
Visit, I beseech thee, O Lord, this habitation with thy mercy, and me with thy grace and salvation. Let thy holy angels pitch their tents round about and dwell here, that no illusion of the night may abuse me, the spirits of darkness may not come near to hurt me, no evil or sad accident oppress me; and let the eternal Spirit of the Father dwell in my soul and body, filling every corner of my heart with light and grace. Let no deed of darkness overtake me; and let thy blessing, most blessed God, be upon me for ever, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
