Dear friends in the Lord,
As I write this on Tuesday, I have just returned from a week of vacation.
And how much has happened in our world since I left just 8 days ago! The
dreadful murders in Charleston; the publication of Pope Francis’ Laudato Si.
I realize that, in this age of instant electronic communication, many
people expect an immediate response to world events from their churches
and pastors—across a multitude of media. I had to laugh when I saw in last
Sunday’s online edition of The New York Times an invitation to report what
was said at Sunday Mass in your parish about Pope Francis’ encyclical. It
had only been released on Thursday, and it runs to 184 pages! And yet there was
an expectation that in the intervening two days pastors and preachers would have
found time between appointments, sick calls, Masses, confessions, weddings and
funerals to read the encyclical, understand it and digest it in such a way that
something sensible and helpful could be said about it at Mass.
I’m sure an even greater expectation is present when horrors like the
Charleston murders take place. When our hearts are broken and our consciences
outraged, we naturally come to Sunday worship hoping to hear healing and
consoling words. For priests of my temperament, there is always a suspicion of
facile words spoken too quickly about events that really demand silence and
contemplation first. But I remember T.S. Eliot’s wise observation that “there are
some things about which we can say nothing, but before which we dare not keep
silent.”
I regret that I was not with you last weekend to pray in solidarity with the
victims and survivors in Charleston. We will spend our lifetimes trying to
understand how such demonic hatred comes about. We might well spend a
lifetime also contemplating the grace, mercy and forgiveness that we witnessed
among the survivors.
Your brother in Christ’s word and work,

CATHOLIC FOUNDATION OF NORTH GEORGIA
SUMMER REMINDERS
We are thrilled to announce that IHM has been awarded a Parish
Enrichment Grant of $1,000 from the Catholic Foundation of
North Georgia. The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia was
established in 1992 to support the ministries and schools of the
Archdiocese of Atlanta with grants from the earnings of
endowment funds.
These funds will go to GriefShare, a grief support program used
by our parish grief ministry, Stepping Stones. GriefShare support
groups meet weekly to help those who have suffered a loss in their
lives face the challenge of feeling optimistic about their future and find others
who can understand the hurt they feel.
We are in the process of organizing the team of facilitators for a GriefShare
support group and plan to offer the seminar on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-
9:00 p.m. beginning on September 16. More details to follow. For more
information, contact either Brenda Uhler of the Stepping Stones Ministry at
[email protected] or Deacon Bob Hauert at [email protected].

AROUND THE ARCHDIOCESE
FORTNIGHT FOR FREEDOM
June 21-July 4 The Fortnight for Freedom: Freedom to Bear Witness will take
place from June 21 to July 4, 2015, a time when our
liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who
remained faithful in the face of persecution by political
power—St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, St. John the
Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul, and the First Martyrs of the
Church of Rome. The theme of this year's Fortnight will focus
on the "freedom to bear witness" to the truth of the Gospel.
VOLUNTEERS FOR ENGLISH CLASSES NEEDED
Starting in July Make a big impact in someone's life! Help adults learn to
speak English by serving one morning or evening each week in
Chamblee. The students are friendly, interesting and grateful
for the time volunteers offer. The students attend two classes a
week, mornings or evenings for three hours. The students are
with the lead instructor for the first hour, in one large group.
Then they are divided into smaller groups, based on their abil-
ity to speak English, and taught by volunteers for the last two
hours. During this time, our goal is for the students to speak as
much as possible.
Classes are offered Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Thurs-
day from 9:00 AM to noon and from 6:00-9:00 p.m. We seek
a commitment for one class per week for four months. We
will be starting up new classes in mid-July ending in early
December. We will have New Volunteer Orientations July 13
at 6:00 p.m. and July 14 at 10:00 a.m. at Catholic Charities
Atlanta, 3669 North Peachtree Road, Suite 100, Chamblee, GA
30341.
For more information, contact Margaret Prickett, Volunteer
Resources Manager, by email at
[email protected] or by phone at
404-920-7785.
“The universe unfolds in God, who fills it
completely. Hence, there is a mystical meaning to
be found in a leaf, in a mountain trail, in a
dewdrop, in a poor person’s face. The ideal is not
only to pass from the exterior to the interior to
discover the action of God in the soul, but also to
discover God in all things.” (233)
- Pope Francis, Laudato Si’
LAUDATO SI’
ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME
Choose one of the following activities
as a way to further reflect on the
Sunday readings:
In the Gospel, Jesus heals people
and performs miracles. Discuss the
following questions with your
family: Why do you think Jesus
heals people? How do you reach out
to Jesus when you need help?
With faith in Jesus, miracles and
healing happens. Pray for someone
who needs God’s strength and
healing in their lives.
Discuss what the family can do to
bring more happiness and joy into
the life of someone who is suffering.
Make plans to visit this person.
Jesus performed many miracles.
Miracles happen all around us every
day. Plan a day trip with your
family. Have each family member
share one miracle he or she sees in
the world.

FAITH FORMATION TEAM
Faith Formation at IHM has a unique name: G.I.F.T. (Growing In Faith Together)
As our new season approaches we have immediate openings for individuals desiring
to be part of bringing the G.I.F.T. of faith to the lives of fellow parishioners and
themselves. Become a part of this fast growing community. Most positions require
no previous experience and offer the compensation of satisfaction, knowledge, an
opportunity to serve that pays for a lifetime.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
By nature of our Baptism, we are all called to share our gifts with the Church. We
are looking for adults and high school teens who are interested in assisting on
Saturdays and Sundays sessions. It takes many people, working together in many
ways, for the parish religious education program to work well. Your volunteer
commitment might be long-term or one-time, but everyone's participation is
valuable. Here are brief descriptions of volunteer roles you might consider:
Catechists (individuals willing the share their faith with children, youth,
adults.) NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! Responsible for planning, teaching
and managing a class of children for a weekly period of 1.5 hours. Use several
kinds of interactive methods, including lecture, discussion, text, activities, film
and video, games, worksheets, etc. Training materials provided along with a
sense of belonging and well being when you share your faith with others.
Requires Safe Environment Training and Background Check.
Children K-6th sessions as well as adults are held on Saturdays (2-3:30p.m.)
and Sundays (10:15a.m. - 11:15a.m.)
Middle School Group (6th-8th) meets on Wednesdays from 7p.m.-8:30p.m.
High School Group (9th-12th) meets on Sundays 3-4:30p.m.
We are also seeking individuals who speak Spanish to work with our young
children and adults. Which age group would you like to work with?
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) We are seeking active
practicing Catholics that are willing to share their journey of faith with
individuals wishing to find out more about the Catholic way of life. RCIA group
meets on Sunday mornings from 10:15a.m. - 11:30a.m. August thru May. Please
consider being a part of a sponsor pool.
ALSO, we have a RCIA inquiry session on June 24th. Are you thinking about becoming Catholic or returning to the Church? Or perhaps you're just curious
about why we do some of the things we do, or what the Church really teaches on
certain subjects. We have a small faith community that will meet monthly this
summer to help you explore these questions. Join us in the lower level of the
church from 7:30-9:00 p.m. You do not have to register, simply come and
explore the basics of Catholic faith in a friendly, informal setting. Contact Drew
Denton ([email protected]) for more information.

SECOND COLLECTION In the second collection today, we are
supporting Pope Francis in his charitable
works. The Peter’s Pence Collection is taken
up worldwide to support the most disadvan-
taged: victims of war, oppression, and natural
disasters. This is an opportunity to join with
our Holy Father, Pope Francis and be a
witness of charity to our suffering brothers
and sisters. Please be generous in today’s
collection.
TRUST IN THE HOLY SPIRIT’S GENTLE AND PERSISTENT PROMPTINGS How can we know what or how much we need to serve, give, share, or care? When we feel something
touch our heart that calls us beyond ourselves for the sake of another, we can be sure the Holy Spirit is
calling. Trust in that gentle yet persistent call, and respond as generously as you are able. “The point is
this: the one who sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap
bountifully. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor 9:6-7)

Liturgia para Niños Durante las misas dominicales se ofrecerá la
explicación del Evangelio a niños de 4 a 7
años de edad en su propio lenguaje. A esta
catequesis se le conoce como Liturgia de la
Palabra para Niños. Cuando los niños son
pequeños, no entienden las palabras del
sacerdote y se ponen inquietos, por eso se ha
creado este ministerio para poder compartir
con ellos la Palabra de Dios, de una manera
que ellos aprendan y se diviertan. Aunque
este ministerio ha estado inactivo en la misa
de 1:30 p.m. en el último año, deseamos
ofrecerlo nuevamente.
Si a usted le gustaría participar en este
maravilloso ministerio o si necesitan mayor
información, por favor llamen a Alicia
Guerrero al 404.636.1418 ext. 227 o por e-
mail [email protected].
