February 1, 2015 Presentation of the lord February Feasts 2699 Peachtree Road, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30305 404-233-2145 www.cathedralofchristtheking.org WHAT’S INSIDE: Around the Parish Page 2 Fr. Kieran Farewell Page 3 CTK Believes Page 4 CKS News Page 5 Healing Mass Page 7 Snack Bag Page 8 Hispanic Pages Pages 10-11 The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family. The first two and a half weeks of February fall within the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, which is represented by the liturgical color green. Green, the symbol of hope, is the color of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. The remaining days of February are the beginning of Lent. The liturgical color changes to purple — a symbol of penance, mortification and the sorrow of a contrite heart. This Sunday, February 1, is the Presentation of the Lord. This feast is a festival of light. The procession, in which the blessed candles are carried by clergy and faithful, recalls by its symbolism the manifestation of Christ, the Light of the world, received in the temple. "A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel." congratulations Congratulations to Brad Young for his being instituted as an Acolyte and Stephen Gross who was accepted into Candidacy for the Permanent Deaconate. The Rites were celebrated by Bishop Luis Zarama at Our Lady of the Americas in Lilburn on January 21st. Please continue to pray for Brad, Stephen and all the men in formation as they begin a new year of study and discernment.

In St. Mark’s Gospel, that prophecy is fulfilled in Christ Jesus, who speaks, heals, and casts out evil spirits with authority in the synagogue at Capernaum. As faithful stewards, we acknowledge Christ as the Great Prophet and also the popes and others of our time who continue to speak out against moral relativism and injustices present in our day.

For example, one of our founding parishioners established a charitable trust in her will, naming the Cathedral as beneficiary. The gift was small at first but has grown significantly over the decades continuing to bless the Cathedral day after day. We invite you to consider a planned gift to our Cathedral Fund as your long term legacy. Your gift will help support special projects and ministry needs beyond our annual operating expenses. A simple provision in your will or a designation from a retirement plan can create your future gift .You can designate a particular project or ministry or your funds can be used for the general needs of the Cathedral. We are ready to work with you and your advisors to develop a gift plan that best suits your goals and objectives. For a private discussion of planned giving opportunities, please contact The Cathedral Fund Advisory Board member Ham Smith, 404-261-6189, [email protected] or Sharon Connelly, 404-267-3680, [email protected].

Las primeras dos semanas y media del mes de Febrero, corresponden al tiempo litúrgico del Tiempo Ordinario, el cual es representado por el color litúrgico verde. Este color, el símbolo de la esperanza, es el color de los brotes de las semillas y despierta en los fieles la esperanza de cosechar la siempre eterna del cielo, especialmente la esperanza de la resurrección. Los demás días de Febrero corresponden al inicio dela Cuaresma. El color litúrgico cambia a morado - el color de la penitencia, mortificación y la pena de un corazón arrepentido. El Domingo 1 de Febrero, celebramos la Presentación del Señor. Esta fiesta es un festival de luz. La procesión, en la cual las velas bendecidas son llevadas por los sacerdotes y los fieles, recuerdan con su simbolismo la manifestación de Cristo, la Luz del Mundo, recibido en el tempo. “Luz que alumbra a las naciones y gloria de tu pueblo, Israel.” HASTA LUEGO DEL PADRE JOHN KIERAN Queridas familias de la Catedral, Mi gran agradecimiento a todos en Cristo Rey que han hecho mi estadía en esta parroquia tan enriquecedora y memorable.

Sin embargo, me voy sabiendo que Dios abrirá nuevas puertas para mí, y me ayudará a encontrar otras maneras de continuar con mi ministerio sacerdotal.
