FAITH FORMATION IS:

• What we believe - Our CREED OF FAITH.

• What we celebrate - OUR WORSHIP THROUGH SACRAMENTS.

• What we do as Catholic Christians - OUR SERVICE AND DAILY LIFE.

• Moral values and prayer - OUR DAILY DEVOTIONS AND PRAYER.

 

 
Theme

This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 18, 2011, and will focus on the theme “Do This in Memory of Me.” Those whom the community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.
   

Watch this series, currently being shown on EWTN. We will also be using this series for an adult faith formation sessions in 2012.

Join us in our efforts of "The New Age of Evangelization!" Our parish has joined the Word On Fire Network to help bring the Word of Jesus Christ to the people of the 21st century. Ask God to let the Word burn in your heart!

Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet. Most Blessed Sacrament maintains a "Fan" page on Facebook - so does the Archdiocese of Atlanta - come on board and join us there.

Our Parish Supports Works of Charity During Our Lenten Season Sacrifice?

Our Lord Jesus states that his followers should be committed to doing good works and offering charity to those in need. Our members are being asked to "vote" on which one religious charity or service based institution from five categories - international, national, state-wide, religious, and local - should receive our financial support from the 2011 Parish Lenten Season Charity Tithe.

How will the decision be made as to who receives support? One group from each of the 5 categories will be chosen on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, based on the support it has received through the number of quarters parish members having placed in the coin boxes in the narthex representing that organization. The money which will be donated to the selected charitable organizations will come from the use of Lenten Coin Folders, the voting boxes of quarters and a tithe of our Sunday Collections during the Lenten Season. Voting for all 5 categories will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2010 and end on March 28, 2010.
