If you are interested in
sharing ideas about a New Plan for funding
and scheduling teams to support and activate the Repast Ministry, you are invited to a meeting on Thursday, April 30th, 2015 in the Spiritual
Center at 6:00 pm.
A NEW PLAN
My dear Parishioners,
Today, “Good Shepherd Sunday,” is World Day of Prayer
for Vocations. While every person has a vocation, a calling
from God to follow Jesus in a particular way, the focus to-
day is on the priesthood and consecrated (rel igious) li fe .
I would like to share some thoughts with you on the priest-
hood. The people of this Archdiocese are served by two different
types of priests; “secular” and “religious.” The majority of
priests not only here but throughout the world are “secular”
priests. They are ordained to serve the pastoral needs of
God’s people in a particular arch/diocese. Normally, they
remain in the diocese of their ordination for the greater part
of their life, “Religious” priests, on the other hand, are or-
dained for service to the universal church. Like secular
priests, they are ordained by a bishop, but depending on the
particular “charism” of their religious community, they may
be assigned by their superiors as home or overseas mission-
aries, educators, preachers, advocates, and pastors. Reli-
gious priests serve in parishes in those areas where there are
not enough secular priests. Unlike secular priests, religious
priests take the three vows of obedience, poverty and chas-
tity several years before they are ordained. Secular priests,
at their ordination, promise obedience to their bishop and his successors, and in accord with Roman Catholic church
law, are required to remain celibate. They do not take a vow
of poverty. While secular priests must often live alone, reli-
gious priests live in community and, if circumstances de-
mand that they live alone, they must have the permission of
their superiors to do so. The shared priestly brotherhood enables both secular and
religious priests to work together harmoniously in building
up the kingdom of God. While there seems to be many
priests in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, such is not the case.
Given the growth of the Catholic population in central and
northern Georgia, the proportionate number of priests is
shrinking. All the more reason to pray fervently for voca-
tions to the priesthood not just today, but every day.
Fr. Jerome, C.P.

REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS
Many dioceses right here in the
United States do not have
enough priests and trained lay
ministers to serve their parishes.
These dioceses are known as
home missions. The Catholic
Home Missions Appeal will take
place this weekend in the second
collection, and supports these
dioceses by funding essential
ministries, including seminary
education and lay ministry
training. Please be generous
in this appeal and share your
resources to strengthen the
Church at home.
Thank you...
With sincere gratitude, we thank you for your expressions of sympathy during the recent loss of our mother/grandmother, Mrs. Georgia Bell Haney McFarland. Our family deeply appreciates all of you who
sent prayers, flowers, sympathy cards, donated services, and called the kindest words of support. Your thoughts and
efforts are greatly appreciated. Sincerely,
Elyria and Jordan Waddy
Congratulations!!

Abril 26, 2015 Cuarto Domingo de Pascua/B
Mis queridos Hermanos, las lecturas de este Domingo nos
ofrecen una serie de afirmaciones sobre Jesucristo
cuya finalidad es consolidar nuestra fe en El. La entereza
y la paz interior se fundamenta en El que es la “piedra
angular”. A este Domingo se lo llama “Domingo del Buen Pastor” .
El Niño de Belén, como Buen Pas tor dió su
vida por nosot ros en la Cruz. Este t ema, es un
serio desafío a nosot ros los “pastores”. Jesús es
l a imágen f i el a quien debemos segui r e imi tar
en el ‘servicio solidario’ hacia todo aquel que
es ta en neces idad….
Pienso, mis Hermanos, que este mensaje de hoy también
va para todo cristiano. El hecho de habernos llamado a formar
parte del Pueblo de Dios mediante el sacramento de Bautismo
que nos hizo partícipes de sacerdocio de Cristo, es también
una invitación a compartir su ‘misión’. La mision es dar a
conocer a Cristo nuestro Señor y Salvador. Por otra parte,
esta es la tarea que hoy nos recuerda de un modo especial
la Iglésia, cuando nos habla de la “Nueva Evangelización”.
Buscar caminos nuevos, formas nuevas de dar a conocer la “Doctrina de Cristo”. Dar a conocer la Ley del Señor. Esta
tarea evangelizadora debe ser la gran preocupación que
debemos tener. Preocuparnos que nuestros hermanos los
hombres conozcan a Cristo. Vivan de acuerdo a su Palabra.
Que el Evangelio sea la luz de nuestras vidas. Es ta
vi viencia senci l l a y s incera será nues t ro gran
tes timonio que mo verá a muchos a in teresarse
por el mis terio de l a fe. Por el misterio de la vida
cristiana. Una vida no sólo de prácticas o ritos religiosos
sino una vida de auténtico seguimiento de Cristo. Este
seguimiento significa o implica asumir la doctrina de
Cristo e interesarse por el Reino de los cielos.
Mis Hermanos, que en este Tiempo Pascual es mi deseo
que todos se esfuercen en ir re-creando su fe. A fin de
que, al tener una fe sólida puedan asumir con alegría de
corazón la Voluntad de Dios. En otras palabras que nuestra vida sea un ¡SI! Grande al Dios de la Vida.
P. Alberto, CP
