St. Mary Magdalene is considering developing a preschool program that would begin in August 2015.  We would like to assess the needs of parents with young children.  Please complete the survey here so we can evaluate the interest of the parish.

We will celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a Vigil Mass Thursday, 7:00 pm and on Friday at 9:00 am and 12:10 pm.

Our quarterly Healing Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, August 16, at 10:00 am. We invite all who need prayer for health of body, mind, or spirit to join us for this wonderful Sacrament. Father Terry will pray over each person and then anoint their forehead and palms with the Oil of the Sick, which was consecrated by Archbishop Gregory during Holy Week. Even if you are not in need of the Sacrament, come to support and pray for those who are.

Please check back to this page and check the bulletin for parish certification classes.

Catechist Certification

The process for catechist certification in the Archdiocese of Atlanta is contained in the document Communicating the Catholic Message. Catechist certification builds competency in four dimensions: Catechist, Theology, Learner and Methods. The certification hour requirements for parish catechists and Catholic school teachers are different, however, both build competency in the four key dimensions.
