Thank you so much to our Sunday English teachers:
Jose Gonzalez, Michelle Schleier, Kathy Davis, Hellen Brandeburg. They teach English to parents whose children attend
second session of Religious Education. Thank you so much for
helping others. If you want to have that experience as a teacher,
please call the main office or see Fr. Rafael.
Yes we are growing and we need a Parish Master Plan.
Some of you for several years had mentioned to me the need to have a
Master Plan for the future of our Parish. Yes, it is so. However in order to better accomplish this task, as discussed with the Finance Committee, we will first pay for the rectory in full. Once we are debt free, we
can start with the Master Plan for the parish. We are looking at the first
project to be the new parking lot. I will need a committee for this Master
Plan which will have a representative from each cultural parish group
and from those who have some expertise on construction. This Master
Plan has to be done in coordination with the C.C.O of the Archdiocese
of Atlanta. I will form the committee and soon I will let you know the
committee’s names. So please be ready to say yes to my invitation. Thank you very much.

There will be a “Clergy Appreciation Breakfast” in Founders Hall October 26,
2014 following the 8:30AM Mass.
This will be a donation breakfast with all donations given to the clergy; all parishioners are encouraged and invited to attend.
Our Lady’s Circle will have cake and punch. Both Saturday after 5:30 pm Mass and
Sunday along with Knights Breakfast.
All are invited to participate in this special event to honor our priests and deacons.
The baskets for cards provided by Columbiettes.
If you want to help in the preparation of the meal,
please call Bob Satter at 706-376-4473.
Eucharistic Adoration
Our Lord Jesus is exposed in the Blessed Sacrament every Friday after
9am Mass until 1pm followed by Benediction.
We would like to invite you to spend some prayer time with Jesus in the
Blessed Sacrament. Imagine you and Jesus alone in prayer. Give Him your
heart and he will speak to you in your heart. Talk to Him about the gifts He has
given you. Tell Him your troubles you have and the strength you need to carry
out His plans for you. Ourselves, our family, and our parish will benefit with
these many blessings and graces. This is a wonderful time to spend quiet, personal time with Jesus. Come join with us.
Any question or suggestion, please talk to Leona Wall, Eucharistic Adoration
Coordinator: (706) 376-5147
American Legion Post 109 is spearheading an effort to bring the Wreaths
Across America event to Hart County. The goal is to place a wreath on every
veteran’s grave in Hart County on December 13, 2014. Estimates are approximately 1000 graves dating back to the colonial era. There will also be a community wide ceremonial event on December 13, 2014 at Nancy Hart Memorial
Park.
The premise of the program is to Remember the fallen, Honor those who have
served and Teach our children and youth the meaning of freedom and liberty.
Please provide Fallen Veterans name and burial location to Church Secretary,
or to Pat Hansen, our program contact. Wreaths cost $15.
Contact Pat at 706-376-7705 should you have any questions.
To sponsor a wreath, please fill out the form available with church secretary or
Pat Hansen. Forms will be available after Mass from now until October 26th.

Update on the Shrine of Mary
We have purchased the statue of our Lady of Lourdes, made in Italy by
composite marble as you see her in the sanctuary. The price was $2,400,
donated by a Vietnamese family.
We also have ordered granites from Elberton to build the base for Mary's
statue. When granites are ready, we will start building the base and stand
her up, probably at the end of October. The base is about $3000, including
material and labor, donated by another Vietnamese family. We may have
extra funds from our Lady of Lourdes project and they maybe donated to the
future church parking lot fund.
Thanks for your prayer.
The Vietnamese Ministry
