As you know, Newnan was devastated by an E4 tornado Thursday night.  Many of our neighbors have lost their homes and especially peace of mind.  

Please help by:

•  Donating food to Bridging the Gap in Newnan, or

•  Sending money and/or gift cards (Target and/or Walmart)  to our St. Vincent dePaul Ministry.
         Checks, cash and gift cards to St. Vincent dePaul (SVdP) can be deposited in the offertory box in the church narthex.  Please write SVdP on the envelope that contains your gift.  You  may also donate to SVdP through our Online Giving platform: https://www.osvonlinegiving.com/1019.

These are the best ways to get help where it’s needed most.

Please pray for all our neighbors, especially as they face months of trying to rebuild their lives.

“Pilate again said to them, ‘Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?’ And they cried out again, ‘Crucify him.’” – MARK 15:12-13

Jesus told us “whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.”  Every day we are presented opportunities to help someone.  Every day we have the opportunity to see the face of Jesus in others and be the face of Jesus to others.  Every day we pass by someone in need.  Pray for the strength and courage to be the answer to someone’s prayer.

“I will be their God and they shall be my people.”- JEREMIAH 31:33

What does it mean to be God’s people?  It means we recognize that everything we have and everything we are belongs to God.  We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us.  It means we are willing to use our gifts and our lives to care for our family, our neighbors and for people we don’t know, just as God cares for each of us.

In a March 10 decree, Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv., lifted the day of abstinence for Friday, March 19 as it is the Solemnity of St. Joseph.

 
The decree follows:

“The Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. Abstinence obligates one to abstain from all meats and meat products. It applies to all Catholics who have reached the age of 14. 

This year, the Solemnity of St. Joseph falls on Friday, March 19. The Holy Father, Pope Francis has declared this to be the Year of St. Joseph and so a dispensation is hereby granted to all Catholics in the Archdiocese of Atlanta from the Discipline of Abstinence on March 19, 2021.
