Abby’s Angels Foundation has been chosen by the 25th anniversary committee as a
local non-profit who will receive the generous help from parishioners of St. Mary Magdalene as part of the outreach celebrating this milestone in the parish.

The weekend of February 17 and 18, we were given the opportunity to have tables in the narthex to explain and allow parishioners to sign up for volunteer opportunities for Abby’s Angels Rainbow Run and Family Fun Day, or register to participate in the run.  We are very thankful and humbled at the sign up and support we received.  Some of you may not have been able to sign up or would like more information about different opportunities. 

Below is the QR code for anyone who would like to sign up to walk or run the 5k course.

“Peace and All Good! In the Holy Eucharist, the heart of Christ is poured out for us in the greatest act of love that this world has ever known. In His Presence is where we all find joy and peace, as well as comfort and consolation. Just as Christ gives Himself to us in the Eucharist, by your sacrificial giving to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal to serve our brothers and sisters, you become Eucharist for others, making His love present throughout north and central Georgia. Please prayerfully consider how you can continue Christ’s work and spread His love throughout our archdiocese by supporting this year’s Appeal. Thank you for your generosity and for the many ways in which you preach the Gospel each day by your lives of love and sacrifice.”
Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv.
