SEPTEMBER 1ST

FIRST WORLD DAY OF PRAYER

FOR THE CARE OF CREATION

My dear Parishioners,

Despite the inconveniences of the construction work now

begun and which will be underway for several months, we

must adapt to the situation and continue to function as a par-

ish. Fortunately, we have more than adequate space in both

school and Spiritual Center to conduct our classes and meet-

ings and to hold parish events.

With the arrival of September this week, we set our sights on

another round of regular programs and several important

activities such as our participation in the Archdiocesan Pas-

toral Plan. By the end of September, Pope Francis will have

visited these shores and left his mark on Washington, D.C.,

the United Nations, in New York, and the World Meeting of

Families in Philadelphia. Though most of us will not be able

to see him personally, we do want to support him with prayer

and be nourished by his words of wisdom. I mention this

visit of the Holy Father deliberately because, while our par-

ish continues on its life’s journey, it does so as a community

of the Universal Church. We dare not forget that, whatever

we do as a Catholic community, we do as a vital member of

a vast community of the faithful. Pope Francis has been

blessed in his ability to bring people together, to help this

global community share more deeply in our common calling, and to show us by his own example how we are to reverence

one another.

Like every other Catholic community around the world, we

are caught up in the pursuit of holiness and in the unending

effort to attract others to Christ. As we strive to know, live,

and share our faith this year as one of the many evolving

parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Atlanta, we will do

well to keep our eyes on Francis and our ears tuned to his

insightful (shall I say, “inspired/”) words. At this point in

our sixty-year existence, we have no idea as to what the next

sixty will bring. But one thing we do know for sure is that

our God always surprises us as he constantly calls us to walk

in the footsteps of his Son. So, let us move ahead on our

faith journey and be prepared to be surprised by an ever-

caring, ever-loving God. Fr. Jerome, C.P.
