Pentecost is the birthday of the church and a time when we should let the Holy Spirit guide our path. It is an appropriate time to take our next step forward to full reopening of our churches.

On May 22, prior to the celebration of the Vigil of Pentecost, the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass will expire in the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

At St. Mary Magdalene, we will continue to require everyone 7 and older to wear a mask and maintain socially distant.

“I am the good shepherd…and I lay down my life for the sheep…and they will heed my voice.”   –  JOHN 10:14-16

 When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for the things that you want?  Do you ever ask Him what He wants from you?  How do you listen for His response?  Many times Jesus responds in “quiet whispers” that are not so obvious.  So, take time every day, in silence, to actively listen for His voice.

“Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’  But they were startled and frightened…” – LUKE 24:36-37

Throughout the day we have many opportunities to “see the face of Jesus” in others and to “be the face of Jesus” to others.  Do we take that opportunity to provide “peace” to those we encounter or are we afraid of what others will think of us and do nothing?  Pray for the strength and courage to live a “God-centered” life and not a “self-centered” life.

“The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own…” – ACTS 4:32

All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God!  Think of your family, your friends, your life, your talents and your money – these are all gifts from God!  We aren’t really owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed us with.  We are called to be grateful and generous with all of our gifts for the benefit of others.

For the next two weekends April 11 and April 18, Saint Mary Magdalene is helping to raise funds for PAC.  
Pregnancy Aid Clinic is a non-profit center that has been providing life-changing services regardless of financial ability, race, age, or religion since 1984. Our care addresses the whole woman- mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual in a compassionate and nonjudgmental way.
The clinic offers comprehensive programs for mothers and fathers to navigate from pregnancy to parenthood with a focus on parenting and life skills. We strive to protect children by strengthening families.
Thanks to donations, grants, and committed volunteers who work together to create a support system, our services are available at no charge.

Please consider participating in a PAC Digital Baby Bottle Event!
Baby Bottle drives are a primary source of revenue for Pregnancy Aid Clinic, providing funds to maintain clinic operations; the clinic relies on your donations to keep PAC operating, and continue supporting women and families in need.

Every bit helps – this is an event that usually is filled with pennies and nickels – no gift is too small for the smallest among us.

Thank you for all the support for our neighbors in need. At this time, we have enough food, but clothes, toiletries and housing are a priority. 

We are accepting gift cards from superstores like Walmart and Target and our St Vincent dePaul Ministry is taking donations to provide medium-stay housing. You can bring your donations by the church in the evenings all this week, starting tonight.
