Today Pope Francis concludes his historic visit to Cuba and the

United States. As he celebrates Mass in Philadelphia, let’s join him

in prayer for the families of our parish and the families of the

world.

A Prayer for the World Meeting of Families God and Father of us all,

in Jesus, your Son and our Savior,

you have made us

your sons and daughters

in the family of the Church.

May your grace and love

help our families

in every part of the world

be united to one another

in fidelity to the Gospel.

May the example of the Holy Family,

with the aid of your Holy Spirit,

guide all families, especially those most troubled,

to be homes of communion and prayer

and to always seek your truth and live in your love.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us!

Immaculate Heart of Mary

Catholic School

National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence

September 27, 2015 Spotlight on the IHM Garden:

As we nurture, so we grow.

All students in grades Kindergarten through 5 actively participate in our garden program. Under the

watchful eye of our Garden Coordinator and Grades 3-5 Assistant, Liz Hager, students learn to plant,

harvest and eat vegetables in the fall and spring seasons. They have grown kale and collard greens,

tomatoes and carrots, radishes, watermelons and cantaloupe. With the help of many parent volunteers

these vegetables are washed, prepared, and sent back to the school to be enjoyed by the students and

staff. The students really enjoy eating the foods they have grown. In keeping with our IHM tradition

of service, any excess produce we have is shared with a local food bank.

Below, Mrs. Hager is shown teaching about the garden in the outdoor classroom, and explaining the

planting process to a group of Kindergarten students. A student shows off a prize watermelon, and

the planter “bed” is overflowing with greens and flowers.

If you are interested in becoming Catholic or learning more about the Catholic faith, we welcome you to attend our inquiry classes each Sunday at 10:15 a.m. in the IHM School Library, beginning September 13.

If your child will be preparing for First Holy

Communion this school year, please plan to attend our

initial parent meeting on September 29 at 7:00 in the

Historic Church. This meeting will pertain to First

Reconciliation (Confession), which this year’s First

Communion candidates will be celebrating at special

services on the evenings of November 3 and November

10. (They will attend one of these two services, not

both). Preparation classes for First Reconciliation will

take place on October 13, 20, and 27. More detailed

information will be provided at the Parent Meeting on

September 29. Mark your calendars!

Note: First Communion candidates at IHM School will

receive their preparation at school and do not need

attend the classes in October. They will, however, be celebrating their First

Reconciliation at the special services on November 3 or November 10.

Are You Called to be a Catechist? We always welcome new catechists to help teach at all age levels. If you would like to help others understand and live their faith more fully, please consider one of the following opportu-nities: Adult Faith Formation (Sundays, 10:15-11:15; other times, as announced). Middle School Youth Ministry (Wednesday nights, 7:00-8:30) High School Youth Ministry (Sunday afternoons, 3:00-4:30) Elementary Age--G.I.F.T. Program (Saturdays, 2:00-3:30 or Sundays, 10:15-11:15).

The VIRTUS Safe Environment training for the Middle

School will take place at the normal meeting time on

September 30. High School training will be held a date to be announced later this fall.

"Rebuild my House"

ACTIVITY FOR TEENS

“Rebuild my house”. This was the message of Christ to Francis as he prayed in the Chapel at San Damiano. This is also the message to each of us as disciples. All of youth can prepare for and reflect on a service involvement by considering the life and message of St. Francis of Assisi. Become familiar with the story of the life of St. Francis of Assisi, go to: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/Francis/who_was.asp. Then answer the following questions:

How would you describe Francis?

What are some of the characteristics of Francis that we could imitate as disciples?

If Francis came to visit us in our parish, our neighborhood, our community, what would he notice?

What would he challenge us to do?

How do you see St. Francis as a model for yourself in doing service?

How does your involvement in service help you to be a servant of the poor and a steward of creation?

The example of St. Francis shows that humility is an essential part of our preaching the Gospel. Like all witnesses, your sharing should point to Christ and to the many ways we are privileged to continue his work of sharing Good News and of becoming Good News for others.

Week of September 20

Offertory Basket: $17,343.00

Electronic Giving: $15,984.54

Total Offertory: $33,327.54

Today’s second collection is for the Society

of St. Vincent de Paul Georgia. Last year,

with more than 4,000 volunteers, and a ded-

icated central support staff, St. Vincent de

Paul delivered hope and help to more than

126,000 people in need. This second collec-

tion is special because each dollar raised

goes not only to helping people in our par-

ish area but also to helping people in need

across the state. Our gifts to this collection

go directly to provide emergency shelter,

food, clothing and educational resources to

those experiencing hardship and crisis with

the ultimate goal of achieving self-

sufficiency. We can, like Christ, serve the

poorest of the poor among us through our

wholehearted support of St. Vincent de Paul

Georgia. Please be generous.

“All This I Do For the Sake of the Gospel”

We have reached our goal in pledges for the 2015 Archbishop’s Annual

Appeal! But we really should be achieving TWICE our goal each year,

since AAA funds received over and above our goal return to us at IHM

without any Archdiocesan assessment! Our gifts help the charitable

works of the Archdiocese AND they help our parish. If you have not

already made a pledge to the 2015 AAA, please visit

http://appeal.archatl.com to make your pledge today!

Thank you to all who have already pledged! Remember to look for

your monthly pledge reminders, and please do your best to honor your

pledge before the end of the year. If you are having any

difficulty whatsoever with your pledge or pledge reminders, please

contact Richard Plachta at rplachta@ihmatlanta.org or 404-636-1418,

NUEVOS FELIGRESES

Bienvenidos a nuestra comunidad; visítanos en la oficina para llenar la hoja de registro. Es muy importante que estés registrado en la parroquia.

Los Encuentros Mundiales de las Familias se celebran cada tres años, desde su creación por el beato Juan Pablo II en 1994, se desarrollaron en Roma, Río de Janeiro, Manila, Valencia, Ciudad de México y Milán. Hoy, concluye este encuentro en la ciudad de Filadelfia. El Papa Francisco ha compartido su mensaje de esperanza con familias de todo el mundo. “La belleza de la familia y del matrimonio, la grandeza de esta realidad tan sencilla y al mismo tiempo tan rica, hecha de alegrías y esperanzas, de fatigas y sufrimientos, como toda la vida. Intentaremos profundizar la teología de la familia y la pastoral que debemos actuar en las condiciones actuales. Se nos pide resaltar el plan luminoso de Dios para la familia y ayudar a los cónyuges a vivirlo con alegría en su existencia, acompañándoles entre tantas dificultades, con una pastoral inteligente, valiente y llena de amor”.

La oración familiar es una hermosa manera de aumentar la relación de tu familia con el Señor y con los demás. Recen hoy, de un modo especial, la oración de la familia.

ORACION DE LA FAMILIA

Dios y Padre de todos, en Jesús, tu Hijo y nuestro Salvador,

nos has hecho hijos e hijas tuyas en la familia de la Iglesia.

Que tu gracia y amor ayuden a nuestras familias

en todas partes del mundo, a estar unidas entre sí

en la fidelidad del Evangelio.

Que el ejemplo de la Sagrada Familia, con la ayuda de tu Espíritu Santo,

guíe a todas las familias, especialmente a las más atribuladas, a ser hogares de comunión y oración

y a buscar siempre tu verdad y vivir en tu amor. Por Cristo nuestro Señor.

Amén.

Jesús, María y José, ¡rueguen por nosotros!

Cuadro del artista Neilson Carlin Representa la Sagrada Familia – Jesús, María y José – junto a los

padres de María, los santos Ana y Joaquín. Son un recordatorio de que, hoy en día y a lo largo de la
