Electronic Offertory: $6,839.54

Total: $20,428.34

This weekend’s second collection will go

to our IHM Debt Reduction Fund.

Next weekend’s second collection will be

the monthly appeal for our parish St. Vin-

cent de Paul Society.

Charitable Gift Annuities give you additional income: If you

are over 65 and have $10,000 or more to invest, possibly from a CD

that is coming due, you may want a Charitable Gift Annuity which

will give you higher rates than a CD. This will give you a large tax

deduction and provide you with quarterly fixed payments for the

rest of your life. Here are some sample rates based on your age:

Age 65 – 4.7%; Age 70 – 5.1%; Age 75 – 5.8%; Age 80 – 6.8%;

Age 85 7.8%; Age 90 and older 9%. Upon your passing, the re-

mainder of the Gift Annuity can go to your parish endowment fund

and other charities. Please contact Juliet Greco at The Catholic

Foundation of North Georgia: jgreco@cfnga.org or 404-497-9440.

She’s a 44 year old US Army Veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

after 2 years in the Iraq war zone. She was discharged after 20 years’ service and

receives a small military pension. She is receiving ongoing PTSD treatment at the

Atlanta VA Hospital as well.

She is a single mother of one son, aged 13, and lives in Decatur.

Her dream is to become a Chaplain, and she is enrolled at Emory Theological School

with plans to graduate next year.

But, things happened in her life to cause her to get behind in her rent. She had an un-

planned expensive car repair, and shortly thereafter she had a family emergency out

of state that caused some travel expense. As in many cases, there isn’t any room in

the tight budgets for emergencies like these.

Our St. Vincent de Paul case workers visited with her in her home to gather all the

details. They spoke to the landlord about helping her avoid eviction. They document-

ed all her expenses vs. the only income, her military pension. And, they said some

prayers together too.

Feeling this veteran needed extra support right away to avoid eviction, they recom-

mended St. Vincent de Paul provide financial help above our normal guidelines.

Thanks to the generosity of IHM parishioners, this was approved and the family is

safely in their home.

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

FAREWELL, FATHER BILL! Saturday, June 18 Archbishop Gregory has assigned Father Bill Hao as parochial vicar at St. Brig-

id Catholic Church in Johns Creek, effective July 1. From that new assignment

he will continue his leadership of the Holy Name of Jesus Chinese Catholic

Mission as its first administrator.

We will send him to his new assignment with a reception in his honor on Satur-

day, June 18, 5:00-7:00 p.m., in the Historic Church. Please come help us offer

Father Bill our gratitude and affection.

GIRL SCOUT LEMON-AID STAND June 4 & 5

The Girls Scouts of Senior Troop 27403 and Junior Troop 12560 will be holding

a community service event serving Lemonade and sweet T along with delicious

Girl Scout Cookies at their LemonAid stand after all Masses the weekend of

June 4 and 5. Please join us and make a minimum donation of $5 per family to

enjoy the Girl Scout refreshments and help a needy organization. Lady T has

been ministering to the homeless for 15 years in Atlanta.

The Mission of Lady T's Homeless Ministry is to supply the physical and

spiritual nutrition to the less fortunate individuals that live on the streets, in the

parks, behind alleys, in the woods and those that have found a place in the

battered women, children and men shelters. If you have any questions about

this community service project or about Lady T please contact Troop Leader

Deb Henderson at hendersondl28@gmail.com.

lors are selected to serve 3-year terms. If you

munity in this way, please see the Pastoral

Each Thursday, Dr. Louanne Bachner leads an informative and prayerful

discussion of the lectionary readings for the following Sunday. The study

meets in the Lower Level at two different times: 9:30 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. There is no registration required and no fee to participate. Feel free to join the group as your schedule permits.

Are you interested in becoming Catholic, or simply learning more about the Catholic faith? We look

forward to meeting you, answering your questions, and helping you

discern God’s call. Please join us for the first of our summer “inquiry” sessions on Wednesday, June 29,

7:00-8:00 p.m., in the lower level of the church. Contact Drew Denton in

the parish office for more information.

In preparation for the 2016-2017 school year, we are also seeking additional catechists for our faith formation programs. If you would like to help others understand and live their faith more fully – whether young children, teenagers, or adults – please let us know! Contact Drew Denton or Alicia Guerrero for more information on how to get involved.

Eligible students will receive the sacrament of Confirmation in the spring of 2017 (exact date to be determined, once the bishops release their schedules). All candidates for Confirmation must be baptized, practicing Catholics, in the 10th grade or higher. They must have received at least two years of religious education immediately prior to being confirmed, either at a Catholic school or through our parish Life Teen youth ministry program (the 2016-2017 school year will count as one full year). In addition, they must attend a few preparation sessions during the 2016-2017 school year and an overnight retreat just prior to Confirmation. There will be a mandatory meeting for Confirmation candidates and their parents on Sunday, September 25, 6:15 p.m. More details will be announced in the bulletin and on the parish website as they become available. For now, please mark your calendars for September 25 and make sure you are enrolled in religious education for the 2016-2017 school year (Enroll in Life Teen online at http://ihmatlanta.org/faith-formation-enrollment). And while you’re at it, please consider joining the music and ministry team for the 5:00 p.m. Sunday Mass, which will be moving in a youth-friendly direction this fall (sign up at http://ihmatlanta.org/lifeteenband).

If you’ve just graduated from middle school, it’s already time to start making plans for your Confirmation! Rising 9th-graders who wish to be confirmed in the spring of their 10th-grade year must be enrolled in religious education for the 2016-2017 school year. This can take place either as part of a Catholic school curriculum or through our parish Life Teen youth ministry program (or, for the adventurous, both!). Enroll in Life Teen online at http://ihmatlanta.org/faith-formation-enrollment. And while you’re at it, please consider joining the music and ministry team for the 5:00 p.m. Sunday Mass, which will be moving in a youth-friendly direction this fall (sign up at http://ihmatlanta.org/lifeteenband).

Adults who desire to be confirmed will follow a separate course of preparation. Please contact Drew Denton in the parish office for more details.

MISSION POSSIBLE 2016 All rising 9th-12th graders are invited to accept the

challenge to serve this summer at Mission Possible! This is

a 5 day in-town mission trip that we do with the youth at St.

$75 per teen. Come share your time and talent to help others

this summer.

is the help provided by the adults with transportation

to stay overnight— FYI, the average work shifts are

from 8am-2pm, but once your group is done, you

may return home or better yet, stay with us for

dinner and evening activities! All chaperones must

complete the required volunteer forms and must be

background checked prior to participating. If you are

21 and over, and would like to participate in Mission

Possible this summer, please contact Kathy Guerrero

Safe Environment approved and have a background check

prior to becoming a volunteer. There is no age limit to

volunteer, but you must be at least a high school graduate. If

you are interested in working with the youth starting in

September, please contact Kathy Guerrero for more

La segunda colecta de esta fin de semana será dedicada a la Campaña para la

Reducción de Deudas de IHM. Todas las contribuciones hechas a este fondo se

utilizarán para la aceleración del pago de nuestras deudas. ¡Por favor contribuir

generosamente.

La segunda colecta del proximo fin de semana será dedicada a la Sociedad de San

Vicente de Paul.

Ella es una mujer de 44 años veterana del ejército de Estados Unidos que sufre de

trastorno de estrés postraumático luego de permanecer 2 años en la zona de guerra de

Irak. Fue dada de alta del ejército después de 20 años de servicio y ahora recibe una

pequeña pensión militar. Ella recibe tratamiento para su trastorno de estrés

postraumático en el Hospital de Veteranos de Atlanta. Ella es una madre soltera de un

hijo, de 13 años, y vive en Decatur.

Su sueño es convertirse en Capellán. Para esto, ella va a la Escuela de Teología de

Emory y planea graduarse el próximo año.

Sin embargo, algunos problemas causaron que ella se atrasara en su alquiler. Primero

tuvo que hace una reparación costosa a su carro, y poco después tuvo una emergencia

familiar fuera del estado y tuvo que viajar. Como es usual en con los presupuestos

ajustados, no hay lugar para situaciones de emergencia como estas.

Nuestros trabajadores sociales de San Vicente de Paul la visitaron en su casa para

conocer todos los detalles. Hablaron con el arrendador para trata evitar el desalojo y

documentaron todos sus gastos y su pensión militar que es su único ingreso. Al final

todos dijeron una oración.

Temiendo el desalojo de esta mujer, los trabajadores sociales de San Vicente de Paul,

recomendaron que San Vicente de Paul proporcionara ayuda financiera por encima de

lo normal en estos casos.

Gracias a la generosidad de los feligreses de IHM, la petición fue aprobada y esta

familia pudo permanecer en su hogar.

Si un feligrés necesita ayuda, nos pueden llamar al teléfono 678-892-6163.
