Many thanks to all who helped make this year's Parish Picnic so

wonderful--the Picnic Committee who planned for months, the

Men's Club who smoked meat all night long, the volunteers who

friendship!

WOMEN’S CLUB MEETING Monday, November 7

Please join the IHM Women's Club as we gather for fellowship and a short

movie from Bishop Robert Barron's Catholicism Series on The Communion of

Saints. The video highlights the lives of 4 influential and inspiring female saints.

After the movie, we will enjoy discussion and refreshments.

A Vast Company Of Witnesses: The Communion Of Saints

The story of the Church is told in the examples of those men and women who

dedicated their lives to knowing and serving Jesus Christ. The Catholic Faith is

made visible in real human lives. Bishop Barron gives consideration to some of

the Church’s greatest heroes, and demonstrates how their extraordinary

examples display both the passion and creative potential of the Catholic Church.

Highlighting Katharine Drexel, Therese of Lisieux, Edith Stein, and Mother

Teresa of Calcutta, Bishop Barron tells the story of the Church as a vast compa-

ny of witness who are called by Christ to be a Communion of Saints.

MEN’S CLUB MEETING Tuesday, November 1 The regularly scheduled monthly Men’s Club

of All Saints. Instead, we will meet for Mass

at 7:00 p.m. and then gather in the narthex for

St. Teresa of Calcutta Exhibit In honor of Mother Teresa’s recent canonization and in celebration of All Saints

Day, IHM will host the St. Teresa of Calcutta Love & Mercy Exhibit from October

29 to November 2! This exhibit, staged by the Mission-

aries of Charity, includes over 75 full color panels of

Mother Teresa’s life story, from her birth and vocation to

her amazing works of serving the sick, poor, hungry,

lonely, and vulnerable. We will also have a first class

relic of St. Teresa of Calcutta displayed for veneration at

certain times during the exhibit.

The exhibit will be open for viewing in the Historic

Church from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., October 29-

November 1. The relic will be displayed after each Mass

that occurs on these dates. In order to keep the relic

secure, we ask that at least two people sign up to be pre-

sent with the relic for the entire time that it is on display in the Historic Church. Go

to http://tiny.cc/motherteresarelic to sign up to serve as a guardian.

The Missionaries of Charity ask you not to make donations during the exhibit but

welcome you to bring your prayer intentions instead.

Catholicism: The Pivotal Players

Bishop Robert Barron’s newest series is coming

IHM! From the producers of the acclaimed

documentary Catholicism comes a fresh look at six

of the most important figures in church history:

Francis of Assisi, Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of

Siena, John Henry Newman, G.K. Chesterton, and

Michelangelo. Filmed on location and accompa-

nied by Bishop Barron’s witty commentary, this

series promises to be as entertaining as it is

enlightening.

Video discussion groups will begin meeting on December 4. To reserve your spot in

one of these groups, please register ahead of time at http://www.ihmatlanta.org/adult-

faith-formation.

Each Thursday, Dr. Louanne Bachner leads an informative and prayerful

discussion of the lectionary readings for the following Sunday. The study

meets in the Lower Level at two different times: 9:30 a.m. or 7:00 p.m.

Feel free to join the group as your schedule permits.

Please join us on Wednesday nights at 7:15 p.m. in the lower level of the church. Contact Drew Denton in the parish office for more information.

This Sunday’s topic: “St. Teresa of Calcutta”

Room 8-1, 10:15-11:15 a.m.

“Why should our praise and glorification, or even the

celebration of this feast day mean anything to the

saints? Clearly, if we venerate their memory, it serves

us, not them. But I tell you, when I think of them, I feel

myself inflamed with a tremendous yearning. Calling

the saints to mind inspires, or rather arouses in us,

above all else, a longing to enjoy their company…We

long to share in the citizenship of heaven, to dwell with

the spirits of the blessed.”

- St. Bernard of Clairvaux
