Pregnancy Aid Clinic – Virtual Baby Bottle Event

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.

The online event is simple!

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.

Assistant Music Director – Stephanie Rucker 

I wanted to introduce myself.  For those of you who do not know me, my name is Stephanie Rucker and I am so happy to be back at St. Mary Magdalene.  I am very excited to be joining the staff as the Assistant Music Director.  I cannot wait to get started and work with Scott to continue adding fabulous music to our Masses and special services here at church. To offer a little bit of a personal background, I am the oldest of 7 children and have three boys of my own.  I am originally from Va. Beach, VA and moved to GA in 2001 and was welcomed into the music department here at SMM in 2008.  I am looking forward to working and singing with all of you!!  I would like to wish my friend Johnny all of the best.  We will miss him.
