Help religious communities. “Your generous contr i-
bution helps us to care for our retired sisters and
enables our younger sisters to continue in active minis-
try,” writes a religious sister. Your gift to today’s
collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious helps
provide medications, nursing care, and more for thousands of sen-
ior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests. It also helps ensure
younger members can continue the good works of their elders!
The pain of losing a loved one never goes away! We learn to move forward with their love and memory. We are a group of individuals that understands the ups and downs of moving
forward after losing a loved one. We laugh, we cry, we pray, we support, while having fun together. We meet every other Monday at 7pm, Room 105, (December 18) and lots of other fun activities in between (monthly dinners, BBQs, trivia, dancing, and more). Prerequisite at least one full cycle of the Grief Share pro-gram or more than a year of losing your loved one. “For I know the plans I have for you plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah

Online Giving During the Holidays! It is through the donations of every individual and family in the congregation that we are able to carry on our work now and throughout the year.
If you need a convenient way to make recurring contributions or plan to make an additional gift before the end of the year, we en-courage you to check out our electronic giving options. As the pace of life speeds up around the holidays, you may find electronic giv-ing a most welcome way to make contributions.
To set up a recurring giving schedule, visit us online at HolyTrinity PTC.org and locate the Online Giving button. Or if it' s easier , complete a paper authorization form and return it to the church office. Thank you for your generosity and support!
With the growing concern for people's privacy it
becomes increasingly more and more difficult to
know if our parishioners are sick, in the hospital or
even in Hospice care. If you know of someone or
if you would like for us to visit someone, please contact Deacon
Mark Sholander at (678) 466-1708 or MSholander@HolyTrinity

If you would like to add someone to the Sick List in the
Bulletin, contact the Parish office at (770) 487-7672. The
name will be published in the bulletin for 6 weeks. You
may call at anytime and have the name removed. Ongoing
illnesses and special intentions may be placed in the Prayer Inten-
tion book located in the back of the church.

beacon of love, hope, and redemption.
2 and 3 Night Weekend Retreats
December 15-17. Amid a busy semester, we rarely
have the time to step away and reflect on our life, our
studies, and our relationships. Treat yourself to a
weekend of rest, quiet, and the opportunity to pray
with the Advent season. As a college student, how can you discern
a life and vocation that brings you joy?
December 15-17. If we take a sacred pause to
embrace the silence and stillness of the Advent
season, we can open our hearts to the deep and
contemplative beauty of the season. Drawing on the wisdom of
Caryll Houselander, we'll explore what makes Advent so special,
and how Advent helps us to prepare for the birth.
December 28-31. Join us for this
special retreat at year’s end to honor
both the year past and our hopes for the
year ahead. Framed in the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyo-
la, this retreat will use the Examen to look over the past year and
Eve Vigil. Our Nursery will close at 5:30pm on Christmas
Eve. There will not be childcare on Monday, December 25 for
Christmas Masses. Our Nursery Staff wishes all our childcare fam-
ilies a very blessed Christmas and New Year.

Welcome to True Reformers: Saints of the Catholic Reformation, a study crafted to teach about those who led the Church’s rebirth from the ashes of confusion caused by the Protestant Reformation. In these six sessions, participants will learn about the true benefactors of the human race: the saints. The saints of the Catholic Reformation show us just how powerful—and beautiful—is the human heart’s free response to God’s generous grace.
