Patrick Langan, L.C. Fr. Patrick Langan, LC is a native of Dublin, Ireland, the oldest of five siblings. He joined the Legion in 1975 and completed his studies of classical humanities in Salamanca, Spain, and his studies of philosophy and theology in Rome, Italy. Fr. Patrick did his apostolic internship in Cozumel, Mexico from 1980-1983, and was Director of Oaklawn Academy from 1985-1987. He was ordained to the priesthood by Pope John Paul II in 1991 in St. Peter’s Basilica. Subsequently, he spent ten years working in fundraising throughout the US and then eleven years in northern California as the chaplain to Canyon Heights Academy in San Jose and Serra PreSchool in San Francisco. Before his arrival in Atlanta, he assisted at Our Lady of Guadalupe parish in Phoenix, Arizona. He also spent three years of field research with Fr. Owen Kearns for the publication of their recently published The Quest for the Core of the Regnum Christi Charism. Introducing: Fr. Jason Brooks, L.C. Please remember all of our priests in your prayers. Fr. Jason grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After graduating from high school, Fr. Jason attended Ripon College in Wisconsin, where he studied biology and played defensive end on the football team. He had plans to teach biology and to be a high school football coach. He always thought that he would get married and have a family. However, thanks to the witness of a Catholic classmate in college and the grace of God, Fr. Jason heard God call him to the priesthood during his sophomore year. After discerning that he was called to be a missionary, Fr. Jason joined the Legionaries of Christ in 1994, at the end of his junior year of college. He was ordained at the Church of St. Mary Major in Rome on November 25, 2004. After ordination, Fr. Jason served as the chaplain of the Lumen Institute in Chicago until 2011. Then, he moved to Atlanta, where he served as the chaplain at Holy Spirit Preparatory School for two years. Last summer, Fr. Jason’s parents built a home in Flowery Branch and now attend Prince of Peace parish. His younger sister, Tracy, is married with two boys and lives in Connecticut. Fr. Jason is a great fan of Padre Pio and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. He also is devoted to Divine Mercy and Our Lady of Fatima.

Holy Land Olive Wood Sales Returns for a Second Year Senior Saints Luncheon If you are over 55, we warmly invite you to join with us for our monthly lunch with other seniors in the Social Hall on Friday, October 10th, at 11:30 am. Cost will be $8/person, and we are looking forward to great fellowship and some good “home cooking”! We plan to play a little Bingo after lunch so make plans to stay and visit. Please RSVP to Tom and Judy Dorn at [email protected] or 404-‐431-‐8550. Café 107 this Sunday, October 5th, Social Hall Come one, come all for a great brunch anytime from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm. This month the festivities will be sponsored by St. Brendan’s Youth Faith Formation and the Knights of Columbus. Café 107 will open once per month with menu items such as fresh hotcakes, French toast, hash browns, sausage, biscuits & gravy, fruit, hamburgers, hotdogs, Tamales, Tostadas, rice, beans, drinks and desserts. Cost: 6 yr. old & up -‐ $7/person; family plan -‐ $30 breakfast or lunch; 5 & under and over 99 -‐ FREE! After all Masses on the weekend of October 18th and 19th, St. Brendan’s will host Olive Wood sales in the Narthex. Proceeds from items sold will go directly to the benefit of Christians living in the Holy Land. With increased unrest in the area unemployment has risen to almost 75%. Some Christian Palestinians have responded by fleeing the Holy Land. The absence of a living Christian community in this area is very dangerous for the future of holy sites such as the Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. This sale is to help strengthen the Christian presence in the city of Bethlehem and the surrounding areas. All proceeds will go directly to the Christian artisans who create the hand carved pieces. Buying one piece will help prevent Christians from leaving the Holy Land. For your convenience, we now have a cold drink vending machine in the Social Hall. Canned drinks are available for $1.00 each, and we will try to provide a variety of choices for everyone. All proceeds will benefit the Building Fund. Thank you for your support. In September, Café 107 raised over $600 which will go toward much-‐needed kitchen equipment. Our very first family to visit Café 107 was the Morton family. Blood Drive The Red Cross Blood Drive will be held on Sunday, October 12th, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the Social Hall.

After all bequests have been made in a will I have found in working with estates that there is always something left no one wants. Did you know you can have the remainder of your tangible estate sold and the proceeds go to the parish? That is why there are so many estate sales. There are always things children and relatives do not need or want. This is an easy change to make. If you would like more information on this method of giving please contact Diane Duquette, Director of Gift Planning at the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia, 404-497-9440 or [email protected].

Please join with other Catholics in offering reparation for sins and to pray for the conversion of our country. All are welcome and this is a great family prayer opportunity! Imagine yourself pausing in front of a design of great beauty. Your soul quiets and is filled with wonder and awe. If art, created by man, can evoke such a response within us, how much more is the same wonder, reverence and respect due to each person we encounter, who was handcrafted by the very God who spoke the world into being? Now think of an artist stepping back from a great work of art and admiring his or her creation. When God created each of us, He did so with precision and purpose, and He looks on each of us with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. Moreover, the Lord invites each of us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe. No matter how the world might view us or others, let us treat each person as the masterpiece that he or she is. “Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.” Pope Francis’ Day for Life Greeting Imagínate deteniéndote ante un diseño de gran belleza. Tu alma se aquieta, se maravilla y asombra. Si el arte, creado por el ser humano, puede evocar tal respuesta en nuestro interior, ¿cuánto más debemos maravillarnos, llenarnos de reverencia y respeto ante cada persona que encontramos, hecha por el mismo Dios que dio existencia al mundo? Ahora piensa en un artista que se aleja de una gran obra de arte y admira su creación. Cuando Dios creó a cada uno de nosotros, lo hizo con precisión y con un propósito, y mira a cada uno de nosotros con un amor que no se puede superar en intensidad ni ternura. Además, el Señor nos invita a contemplarnos a nosotros mismos y a contemplarnos mutuamente con la misma maravilla y asombro. No importa cómo el mundo nos considere o considere a los demás, tratemos a cada persona como la obra maestra que es. “Incluso los más débiles y vulnerables, los enfermos, los ancianos, los no nacidos y los pobres, son obras maestras de la creación de Dios, hechos a su imagen, destinados a vivir para siempre, y merecedores de la máxima reverencia y respeto”. Mensaje del Papa Francisco en ocasión de La Jornada por la Vida October is Respect Life Month Sunday, October 5 Life Chain Sunday is an annual international non-denominational pro-life event.

I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself Never to be silent, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all. Through Christ our Lord. Amen! Fr. Matthew, Members of St. Brendan's Knights of Columbus and Kelle Russo are on site at Whispering Hope to see the new, high-tech Ultrasound Machine. This machine was made possible by the generous donations of our parish through our Baby Bottle Program with those funds matched by the Knights of Columbus. Domingo Pro-Vida Se les invita a celebrar el Domingo de Respeto a la Vida y su cadena de oración. La cadena de oración es una campaña nacional de apoyo para poner fín a los abortos.

ORACIÓN PARA PONER FIN A LOS ABORTOS Señor Dios, te doy gracias hoy por el don de mi vida, y por las vidas de todos mis hermanos y hermanas. Yo sé que no hay nada más que destruya la vida que un aborto, y sin embargo me alegro de que hayas vencido la muerte con la Resurrección de Tu Hijo. Estoy dispuesto a hacer mi parte para acabar el aborto. Hoy me comprometo a nunca estar en silencio, nunca ser pasivo, para que nunca se olviden de los no nacidos. Me comprometo a estar activo en el movimiento Pro-Vida y nunca dejar de defender la vida hasta que todos mis hermanos y hermanas están protegidos, y nuestra nación vuelve a ser una nación con libertad y justicia, no sólo para algunos, sino para todos. A través de Cristo nuestro Señor. ¡Amén! Domestic Violence Awareness Mass Archbishop Wilton Gregory recently said that “Domestic violence occurs in affluent homes as well as in poor ones.
