SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER PAGE 1 From the Pastor’s Hand In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Archbishop Gregory has established Holy Doors for pilgrimage at 7 different parishes throughout the Archdiocese. This Friday, May 6, parishioners are invited to meet at one such site: The Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Atlanta, right next to the Capitol Building. We will gather there at Noon, walk through the Holy Doors, celebrate the regularly scheduled 12:10 Mass and then visit the environs of this historic church, including a visit to the grave of the former pastor whose Civil Wartime appeal to General Sherman saved the parish, and its neighboring churches, from the flames that burned Atlanta and began the infamous March to the Sea. We will conclude with lunch at the nearby and historic Sweet Auburn Curb Market. Pay-Parking for the Shrine is most easily accessed at: Lanier Parking, 75 MLK Jr., Dr. NW, Atlanta, GA 30303. The Sweet Auburn Market for lunch is located at 209 Edgewood Ave., Atlanta, GA 30303. To make this more accessible to our parishioners we are asking for volunteers to drive , along with people requesting to be a part of a carpool, to contact Alma Martinez in the front office: 770.963.8992 or by email at [email protected]. Carpoolers will meet at St. Lawrence with the plan to leave by 10:45 in order to ensure time for travel downtown. Please see our parish website for more information on both this, and future, Holy Door pilgrimages. Yours in Christ Risen, ST.
