Beginning in 2011 our parish is challenging our membership to
live the W.A.R.M. principles of Christian Stewardship.
The W.A.R.M. principles are; W = Welcome everyone,
whether they are new or returning visitors and every member;
A = Ask the name of the person you talking to, and introduce
yourself to that person; R = Recognize the needs of the
people who are around you - you may be their only source of
help; an M = Make your Christian love visible all the
time. Be willing to grow as a disciple of our Lord Jesus,
Christ. |

PROMOTE A VOCATION TO THE CHURCH! On the last Sunday in October in dioceses and archdioceses throughout
the United States, a national recognition day to honor our Catholic
priests called Priesthood Sunday is being sponsored by the
United States Council of Serra International, a Catholic lay
organization whose ministry promotes and affirms vocations to the
priesthood and religious life. Along with
Serra International,
other mainstream Catholic organizations are also being asked to promote
Priesthood Sunday in the United States. The Archdiocese of
Atlanta encourages the parish to join in this national day of
appreciation and recognition for our beloved priests. It is a day to
reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the
Church as a central one. For more information go to:
