July 3 Offertory: $19,533.00

Electronic Offertory: $14,730.54

Total: $34,263.54

IHM Debt Reduction: $2,954.00

This weekend’s second collection is our

monthly appeal for the parish St. Vincent

de Paul Society.

Our second collection next weekend will

go to the IHM Debt Reduction Fund.

Gifts of Remainders of Estates: When one passes away, there is

usually an estate sale to sell assets that no one in the family wanted.

Did you know you can leave all remaining assets to The Catholic

Foundation of North Georgia for the benefit of the parish endowment

fund? The Foundation will handle the estate sale and place the pro-

ceeds of the sale into the parish endowment fund. For information

on how to include this idea in your will, please contact: Juliet Greco

at The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia: jgreco@cfnga.org or

404-497-9440.

Many of the people seeking help from St. Vincent DePaul have children in their

home. These children are living on the edge due to the problems their parents or

guardians are having. So, they may be hungry, poorly clothed, without proper heating

or cooling, or facing eviction.

This is a burden those children should not have to face, and therefore the Vincentian

Case Worker normally takes great care to assure that support is provided in a hurry.

A recent situation with a single Father in Decatur is a good example.

The Father has full custody of his son, who is only eight years old. The Father lost

his job a few weeks prior, but the few weeks between jobs resulted in having no mon-

ey for the next month’s rent. Families like this typically do not have any savings, and

live paycheck to paycheck.

The Father did find a new job, so it’s likely they will be secure going forward. Our

Vincentian case worker team met with the Father, documented the income and ex-

penses, and worked with the landlord to forgive the $200 eviction dispossessory fees

and stop the process.

Due to the situation and not wanting the Father and Son to be evicted, the Vincentians

decided to make a request above our normal guidelines so they could remain in their

home without fear of eviction.

Thanks to our generous IHM parishioners, St. Vincent DePaul was able to keep that

eight year old boy in his home.

If a parishioner needs help, they can call 678-892-6163.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 2ND ANNUAL POPE FRANCIS BUILD Immaculate Heart of Mary and Atlanta Habitat for Humanity invite you to join

on the 2nd Annual Pope Francis Build! Our parish is proud to be one of the lead

sponsors again this year!

To make a donation for Immaculate Heart of Mary’s sponsorship click here:

https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/immaculateheartofmary. An online vol-

unteer sign-up form for participating in the build will be available soon.

Bake Sale IHM will have a bake sale the weekend of July 23 & 24 following the English

and Spanish Masses to raise money for our second annual Habitat for Humanity

Pope Francis House Build. There will be individual items for sale for $2 and

whole desserts for sale for $15. We will accept checks and cash.

We need your help! Please sign up to bake a dessert (or two!) and drop them off

in the narthex before the 4:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday (if you can't bring them

Saturday, just bring them with you to mass). Go to http://tiny.cc/ihmbakesale to

sign up to participate! Please bring items packaged and ready for sale. Please

label if they contain nuts.

We also need people to sign up to attend the sale of the baked goods after the

Sunday Masses.

Last year we raised nearly $1000 at the bake sale! This year we're hoping to

raise even more! The gift of your baked goods and time to sell the items will be

a great help for us to reach our $2000 pledge.

LEBANESE POTLUCK SUPPER Saturday, July 23 In celebration of the feastday of St. Charbel Maklouf,

Monsignor Al invites all lovers of Lebanese food to a

potluck supper on Saturday, July 23, 5:30-7:30 p.m. in

the Lower Level of the church. You don’t need to be

Lebanese (or half-Lebanese like Monsignor!) to at-

tend! If you don’t know how to cook kibbeh, koosa

mahshi, fatayer, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh,

baklava or ma’amoul, you can just order out from a

restaurant, like Monsignor will be doing! Bring plenty

to share. (Monsignor has a plan for the leftovers!)

Fresh pita and family-friendly beverages will be provided. RSVP with number

attending and your planned dish to Jayna Hoffacker at 404-636-1418, ext. 226

or jhoffacker@ihmatlanta.org.

nor’s remarkable career, as well as the important role that Catholicism played in

her writing. Featuring expert commentary and rare photographs, Uncommon

Grace will give you a new appreciation for this highly celebrated, yet often

misunderstood, storyteller.

The film will be screened at the Marietta International Film Festival at The

Strand Theatre on Sunday, August 7. Visit http://www.beataproductions.com

CATHOLIC FOUNDATION GRANT! We are pleased to announce that we have

received a grant award of $1,000 from the

Holy Saturday liturgies, and at other times

through the year. We thank the Catholic

Foundation for their support of our parish and

its mission!

SVDP EMERGENCY FOOD DRIVE July 16 & 17

Due to heavy demand, our SVdP food pantry

inventory is quite low. Therefore, we are

conducting an emergency food drive on the

weekend of July 16/17. Our truck will be

parked in the upper lot and Vincentians will

be there to accept your donations. Your

generosity in helping us to fulfill our mission

to feed the hungry as always is greatly appre-

ciated.
