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:

Fall Ministry Fair A Huge
Success
Be An Essential Stewardship Piece for
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Stewardship is a cornerstone of Christian living. Once again we
had a fantastic Fall Ministry Fair. This year we had a contest
to determine which ministry or organization had the best
"Ministry Table." The awards went to the Knights of Peter
Claver, Unit #376 and to the Rosary Garden Project
for their wonderful table displays highlighting their
organizations. Congratulations.
Thanks to all our members who responded to the call to be an
Essential Stewardship Piece for the coming year. Once again we
have some of the best and most dedicated members who are
answering the call to be good stewards for Christ.

The present economy has brought extreme stresses and challenges
for many in our midst, especially as it relates to individuals
looking for employment. As a small way of assistance to members
looking for employment situations, our parish has provided in
the narthex the St. Joseph Prayer
Bulletin Board (Seeking for An Employment Blessing).
The Bulletin Board is dedicated to St. Joseph, the
step-father of our Lord Jesus, because he is the Patron Saint of
those who work. Prayer Request Cards are available which
members can place on the board asking for prayers and to provide
information regarding job qualifications and contact
information. Sharing information during this time is one way to
give help to those in our midst who are hurting or attempting to
improve the situation of their lives. Thank you in advance for
your prayers and support.

this important effort and pledge to participate and sign up to donate blood.
Thanks to all those who donated blood on October 31, 2009. You have helped to
give the gift of life. |
