My dear friends, This is my last weekend at the parish, and I wanted to express my gratitude to you all. These past three years have been a whirlwind of experiences, many of which were joyful—like the celebrations and invitations to visit you, and the liturgies we had—others of which were challenging. We even experienced a world pandemic together! Yet in all, you showed support, generosity and kindness. For all these, I want to thank Msgr. Al, the staff, volunteers and all the wonderful parishioners of IHM for walking with me and being patient while I learned how to be a priest. I think you taught me very well. It is with profound gratitude and love that I leave for my new assignment, and I pray that God will continue to bless you always. In Christ, Fr. Carlos
Mis queridos amigos, Como saben, este es mi último fin de semana en la parroquia y quería expresarles mi gratitud a todos. Estos últimos tres años han sido un torbellino de experiencias, mu-chas de las cuales fueron alegres, como las celebraciones e invitaciones a visitarlos y las liturgias que tuvimos, otras no tan agradables. ¡Incluso vivimos juntos una pande-mia mundial! Y en todo, ustedes me mostraron su apoyo, generosidad y bondad. Por todo esto, quiero agradecer a Mons. Al, al personal, los voluntarios y todos los maravillosos feligreses de IHM por caminar conmigo y ser pacientes mientras aprendía a ser sacerdote. Creo que me enseñaron muy bien. Es con profunda gratitud y amor que me marcho para mi nueva asignación, y oro para que Dios continúe bendiciéndolos siempre. En Cristo, P. Carlos

Born and raised in Alpharetta, he is a graduate of Chattahoochee High School and Geor-gia Southern University.

FROM THE AIDS MINISTRY June 27, National HIV Testing Day, encourages persons to get tested, know their status, and get linked to care and/or prevention services. Despite increased general HIV testing rates, persons who have HIV infection for years before be-ing diagnosed may unknowingly transmit infection. Now more than ever, prevention and treatment tools are available. Prompt HIV diagnosis is the first step to starting antiretrovi-ral therapy (ART), to preserve and improve health, and pre-vent transmission.
This year’s theme is “My Test, My Way”, emphasizing that there are different ways and places to get tested for HIV, including at home with a self-test. HIV testing is easy, fast, confidential and safe. Right now, many local health depart-ments and community-based organizations, as well as CDC, are distributing free HIV self-testing kits. Learn more about self-tests at https://bit.ly/2AhexD6 .
You can always ask your health care provider to test you for HIV or learn where to get tested by visiting gettest-ed.cdc.gov, texting your zip code to KNOW-IT (566948), or calling 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636). Learn more about how to prevent HIV infection at https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/prevention.html.
Heavenly Father, we ask you to send your Spirit
to HIV positive persons unaware of their infection. Help them take an HIV test and, if necessary,
begin treatment promptly.

VINCENT DE PAUL HANDYMAN If you need a handyman to help with small jobs around the house, you can hire a Safe Environment-approved volunteer from the IHM St. Vincent de Paul Conference to help you with your work.

A PRAYER FOR OUR FATHERS
God, our Father
bless our fathers,
that they may be strengthened
in the vocation of fatherhood.
Let the example of their faith
and love shine forth.
Grant that we,
their sons and daughters,
may honor them always
with a spirit of profound respect.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Each Thursday, Dr. Louanne Bachner leads an informative and prayerful
discussion of the lectionary readings for the following Sunday. Scripture study is currently being offered on
Zoom. Contact Dr. Bachner for instructions on how to join:

THE FAITH FORMATION TEAM NEEDS YOU It is a joy to see more familiar faces returning to church as vaccinations take ef-fect! Plans are already underway for next year’s faith formation programs. We pray that a full return to in-person learning will be possible for the 2021-2022 school year, which will require a full team of passionate, faithful, and reliable adult volunteers. If you are interested in any of our ministries, whether elementary school catechesis, youth ministry, or sacramental preparation, please contact us (information on sidebar above). We look forward to meeting you!
FAITH FORMATION ENROLLMENT 2021-2022 Enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year is now open at https://www.ihmatlanta.org/enrollment2021. Online enrollment is available for all pro-grams: G.I.F.T. (K-5th Grade), Edge (Middle School Youth Ministry) and Life Teen (High School Youth Ministry), as well as sacramental preparation classes. Keep in mind:
Preparation for First Holy Communion is a two-year process that typically oc-curs in 1st and 2nd grade.
Preparation for Confirmation is also a two-year process that typically occurs in 9th and 10th grade.
Students who attend Catholic schools still need to enroll for sacramental prepa-ration at the parish, even though they will receive the majority of their for-mation at school.
In planning for the 2021-22 school year, we will continue to follow the most cur-rent public health guidelines and the policies of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Our hope is to offer all programs in person, with safety measures implemented as nec-essary. Zoom meetings may continue to be used in certain situations--for instance, family catechesis sessions or parent meetings, or even in case of inclement weather-- but there will not be a "fully virtual" alternative for faith formation next year.
All programs will begin on Sunday, August 22.
Scan the QR Code to enroll your children, grades K-12, in our Sunday School and
Youth Ministry programs for next school year. The deadline to enroll is July 31.
Questions? Contact Veronica Thimann at 404-954-2822 or [email protected].
