WELCOME GRANTS AVAILABLE AT LOCAL CATHOLIC SCHOOLS Welcome Grants will soon be available to families wishing to give Our Lady of Victory Catholic School a try. The grant significantly reduces tuition for the child’s first two years at our school and is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Qualifying students will be immersed in a safe & nurturing environment with a strong curriculum and dedicated teachers committed to each child’s growth.

Catholic schools are important not just for the young people who attend them, but for the whole Church and the whole community. Our Lady of Mercy Catholic High School is truly a blessing, providing young people with an opportunity not only for an academically excellent education, but also a faith formation which will serve them the rest of their lives. In fact, the 87 seniors who graduated this year have obtained over $12 Million in scholarships, not including the HOPE, and 32 have been accepted to some of the premiere Catholic colleges in the nation.

To ensure that the blessings of Catholic education are available to as many children as possible, the Archdiocese of Atlanta has established a Welcome Grant Program. This program guarantees a $4,000 tuition discount the first year and $2,500 tuition discount the second year. Financial need is not a prerequisite for this grant. Additionally, families may also apply for financial aid. To apply for this grant, please go to www.welcomegrantsatl.com starting June 1 . God bless you and please pray for the schools.

EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS Each year the Eucharistic Congress brings together Catholics from across the Archdiocese and the country to celebrate the visible, living presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Archbishop Gregory and Bishop Zarama, ask that you join them for this year’s Eucharistic Congress at the Georgia International Convention Center, June 16 and 17.

The theme of the 2017 Eucharistic Congress comes from the Book of Joshua 24:15, “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” Let’s welcome the Lord under our roof and into our hearts. Let’s allow Him to transform us so we can become His hands and feet to go out into the world to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Guardians are needed for the 2017 Eucharistic Congress, which comes this year to the Georgia International Convention Center on Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17. Anyone coming to the Congress who would like to be a Guardian between 9 pm Friday night and 6 am Saturday morning, is welcome! This is a wonderful opportunity to spend quiet time with Jesus to recite your favorite prayers, read the bible, pray the rosary, contemplate acts of faith, hope, charity, thanksgiving and reparation, or do other types of prayerful devotion that suits you before our Lord. If you are interested in participating, please contact Maureen Alexander at maureenalexander@bellsouth.net.

Join me in welcoming Faith Lefebvre to the parish staff! She starts on Monday as the Communications Specialist. She will be keeping us all informed of parish news and happenings through the bulletin, website, parish app, Flocknote and much more! She can be reached at 770.964.5804 ext. 100 and at flefebvre@saintmatthew.us It is a wonderful blessing to have her on board!
