National Day of Prayer and Fasting
Thursday, Sept. 24th
Please join us at St. Michael for a National Day of Prayer & Fasting on Thursday, Sept. 24th. The Archdiocese of Atlanta is
joining with other Archdioceses around the United States in this effort. The goals of this day are mercy and healing for our
country as well as the conversion of our own hearts. We will have Eucharistic Adoration in the sanctuary of the
church beginning after the 9am English daily Mass and concluding with the 6pm Spanish Mass that evening.
Announcement for the wearing of
facemasks at Mass due to Covid-19
We would like to remind all Mass attendees over the age of 7 years old, that we are required by the Archbishop of Atlanta to wear protective facemasks and social distance during our Mass celebration. The Centers for Disease Control have stated, “the wearing of protective facemasks are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus”. Thank you for showing your care and respect for all of our brothers and sisters around us.
If for any reason you cannot wear a facemask throughout the entire Mass, please see an usher and they will find space for you in the social hall or in a classroom downstairs where you can watch the Mass on Facebook live.
RCIA in English Has Begun
Our new year for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults started Sept. 15th at 7pm in the Social Hall. RCIA is for non-Catholics interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, and becoming Catholic. RCIA also includes those who may have been baptized Catholic but may have never received the sacraments of Holy Communion and/or Confirmation. If you missed the first couple of weeks it is not too late to get started. We will also broadcast the class this year on Facebook Live, linking directly through our www.saintmichael.cc website, for anyone who would like to learn more about the Catholic faith. There is no cost for the RCIA classes. You will need to purchase the New Catholic Answer Bible by Fireside Publishing and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Both are available in our parish gift shop downstairs. To register you can email Deacon Ken Lampert at k.lampert@saintmichael.cc or text him at 404-664-3178.
