Faith Formation enrollment ends soon, but there are spaces still
facebook.com/IHMatlanta @IHMatl We are pleased to announce that Small Christian Communities are coming to IHM! Come As You Are is a twelve week program designed to help us grow as a Christian community. Register after Mass or online at www.ihmatlanta.org. August 15 is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Because it falls on a Monday, the bishops of the United States have removed the obligation to attend Mass that day. But the Assumption remains a holy day of the highest order, and all are welcome to honor the Blessed Mother at our 8:30 a.m. Mass on Monday. Faith Formation enrollment ends soon, but there are spaces still available! Enrollment will remain open until August 28. Forms are available in the Parish Office.

PARENTS OF CATHOLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS: DON’T FORGET YOUR PARISH STEWARDSHIP COMMITMENTS! Remember that the Archdiocesan Parish Verification Form describes an “active” Catholic family as: (1) registered in their parish; (2) participating regularly at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days; (3) having a parish Time & Talent commitment on file for the current year and participating in at least one parish ministry; (3) having a parish Treasure commitment on file for the current year and contributing on a regular basis; and (4) pledged and contributing to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal for the current year. Those who do not meet these criteria are “registered but not active” and are not eligible for the “active Catholic” tuition. Please do the right thing now so that your Monsignor Al is able to check “active” when your verification form crosses his desk. Parking is free and there is no cost to attend. Discussion will focus on how to live our faith in this world more peacefully and effectively. We will honor those who have given their lives for their faith. For more information, please visit http://www.archatl.com. GRIEFSHARE Wednesdays, Starting September 7 GriefShare is a bereavement support group open to anyone in our community or parish, sponsored by the Stepping Stones Ministry. The group meets on Wednesdays, 7:00-8:45 p.m., starting on September 7. We will discuss a different topic at each session. All are welcome to join us as their schedule allows. For more information about the program, contact Margaretann Harris at [email protected] or 404-483-3559. More information can also be found at http://www.ihmatlanta.org/griefshare.

May St. John Neumann, whose relic rests beneath our altar, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, whose image graces our nave, inspire you and intercede for you. Our new year of Faith Formation begins on September 11. Registration for elementary (G.I.F.T.), middle school (The Edge), and high school (Life Teen) programs will remain open until August 28. Forms are available in the parish office or online. Parent orientation for all programs will take place in the IHM School cafeteria on August 28, at 10:15 am (morning session) or 6:15 pm (evening session). At least one parent from each family should plan to attend. Youth Minister Kathy Guerrero 404-636-1418, ext. 222 [email protected] Are you interested in becoming Catholic, or simply learning more about the Catholic faith? We look forward to meeting you, answering your questions, and helping you discern God’s call. Please join us for the first of our summer “inquiry” sessions on Wednesday, August 24, 7:00-8:00 p.m., in the lower level of the church. Contact Drew Denton in the parish office for more information. Dr. Louanne Bachner’s Thursday scripture study will not meet during the month of August. The study will resume at its regular times, 9:30 a.m. and 7:00 pm, on Thursday, September 1. Students who are eligible to receive the sacraments of Confirmation or First Holy Communion during the 2016-2017 school year may now enroll for sacramental preparation online at http://www.ihmatlanta.org/sacramental-enrollment. Hard copies are also available in the parish office. Please note that this is a separate form intended only for sacramental preparation. Families who wish to enroll students in our regular Faith Formation programs (G.I.F.T., The Edge, and Life Teen) should use the Faith Formation enrollment form (link). Students who will be participating in both programs—for instance, 10th-graders who will attend the weekly Life Teen sessions and the special Confirmation prep sessions—should submit both forms. The Liturgy of the Word for Children offers children, ages 4-7, the opportunity to hear God’s Word in an accessible and engaging format. They listen to the scriptures, say the Creed, and offer their prayers in language appropriate to their age level. Beginning this weekend, we will offer the Children’s Liturgy at 9:00 Mass throughout the school year. Note: Due to a shortage of volunteer leaders, for the time being we will not be offering the Children’s Liturgy at 11:30 Mass. If you would like to lead or assist in this ministry, please contact Drew Denton in the parish office. LIFE TEEN BAND & MINISTRY POSITIONS Calling all young musicians!

Niños menores de 7 años, Los padres DEBEN registrarse antes en la oficina parroquial; en ese momento recibirán la fecha de la plática correspondiente y del bautismo. Al registrarse deben entregar copia del Acta de Nacimiento de la persona que va a ser bautizada. Un aspecto muy importante en el proceso de ayuda a los clientes que tienen necesidades es visitarlos en su casa. Generalmente, dos trabajadores sociales de San Vicente de Paul, que son conocidos como Vicentinos, visitan el hogar de cada cliente antes de hacer cualquier recomendación para recibir ayuda. Este esfuerzo adicional permite que el trabajo de caridad de San Vicente de Paul se destacan entre todas las organizaciones benéficas locales, y provee mucha más información sobre el caso que una simple llamada telefónica o correo electrónico. Llamar al Padre Javier Muñoz y hacer cita para hablar de los requisitos, por lo menos 6 meses antes de la fecha deseada. Un caso reciente de una madre divorciada con 2 niños en Decatur es un buen ejemplo. La señora trabaja en un restaurante, y apenas le alcanza para cubrir sus gastos. Ella se atrasó en el pago del alquiler y solicito ayuda. Cuando nuestros trabajadores sociales vicentinos la visitaron en su casa, pudieron ver que no había ningún mueble en el hogar. Ni siquiera tenían colchones para dormir. Dormían y y comían en el suelo. Jueves de 6:00 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. en español, y en inglés los sábados a las 9:00 a.m. o durante la semana haciendo cita con el sacerdote. Los trabajadores sociales documentaron los ingresos y gastos de la familia, y se enteraron de que la señora pronto va a comenzar el entrenamiento para convertirse en un operador de forklift. Este nuevo trabajo le pagará más que su inestable pago en el restaurante. Llamar a la oficina y comunicarse con Yolanda Muñoz por lo menos 6 meses antes de la fecha deseada. Los trabajadores sociales recomendaron ayudar con el alquiler para evitar el desalojo. También, le enviaron 3 colchones de la tienda de San Vicente de Paul. Por último, se está trabajando para conseguir más muebles del programa de Banco de Muebles de Atlanta. Sin la visita a la casa, los trabajadores sociales nunca se habrían enterado de la falta de muebles. Si no eres católico (a) o si eres mayor de 18 años y no has recibido los sacramentos de Bautismo, Primera Comunión y Confirmación, te invitamos a aprender más acerca de nuestra fe. Comuníquese con Alicia Guerrero en la oficina parroquial. Bienvenidos a nuestra comunidad; visítanos en la oficina para llenar la hoja de registro. Es muy importante que estés registrado en la parroquia. I Lectura: Jeremías 38:4-6, 8-10 II Lectura: Hebreos 12:1-4 Evangelio: Lucas 12:49-53 6 y 7 de agosto Ofertorio en misa: $20,301.00 Contribución electronica: $20,061.54 Ofertorio total: $40,362.54 Gracias a nuestros feligreses de IHM, San Vicente de Paul no solo pudo mantener a esta familia en su casa, sino que también mejoró significativamente su calidad de vida. Si algún feligrés necesita asistencia, puede llamarnos al 678-892-6163. El Ministerio de Parejas de I.H.M. invita a todas las parejas, casadas o solteras, a participar en el programa de formación 2016-2017 que da inicio el domingo 11 de septiembre. Si su relación de pareja o familiar están en crisis, o si desean aprender a superar los conflictos y a cómo vivir su relación de pareja y familiar a plenitud, los animamos para que asistan a este programa. Además de temas de parejas, paternidad activa y vida familiar, ofrecemos temas de formación cristiana. Asistan y descubran el regalo maravilloso que Dios tiene para sus vidas. Para más información, llamar a Margarita y José Luis García al 404-556-0493 o 678-577-1953 o email: [email protected]. La segunda colecta de este fin de semana irá al San Vincente de Paul.
