My faith is tested many times every
day, and more times than I’d like to
confess, I’m unable to keep the banners
of faith aloft. If a promise is not kept, or
if a secret is betrayed, or if I experience
long-lasting pain, I begin to doubt God
and God’s love. I fall into the chasm of
disbelief and I cry out in despair. But
then the Spirit lifts me up again, and
once more I am secured in faith. I don’t
know how that happens, save when I
cry out earnestly, I am answered imme-
diately and am returned to faithfulness.
I am once again filled with Spirit and
firmly planted in solid ground.
—Maya Angelou

reuniones y actividades menos por la
celebración de la Misa y otros sacramen-
tos de 1 julio al 14 de Agosto.
Mi fe se pone a prueba muchas veces
cada día, más veces de las que me gus-
taría confesar, Soy incapaz de mantener
la bandera de la fe en alto.
Si una promesa no se mantiente, o si se
traiciona el secreto, o si experiment a
dolor por mucho tiempo, Empiezo a
dudar de Dios y del amor de Dios.
Caigo en el abismo de la incredulidad y
grito con desesperación. Pero entonces
el Espíritu me levanta de nuevo, y una
vez más me siento seguro en la fe.
No sé cómo sucede, soy salvado por un
grito de seriedad, obtengo respuesta de
immediato y vuelvo a ser fiel. Estoy otra
vez lleno de espíritu y me siento fuerte
en tierra firme. --Maya Angelou
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things pass away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who has God
Finds he lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
—St. Teresa of Avila, 1515-1582
Nada te molest,
Nada te asuste,
Todo pasa:
Dios nunca cambia.
La paciencia todo lo alcanza.
El que a Dios tiene
Sabe que nada le falta;
Sólo Dios basta.
—St. Teresa of Avila, 1515-1582

Active Parishioner Status The question of parishioner status is important. There are many wonderful privileges in Church membership: In addition to enjoy-ing friendships and belonging to a community, members may receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation and Mar-riage; become certified as sponsors for Sacramental celebrations, like Godparents; be educated in the Catholic Faith through Reli-gious Education programs; and enable positive status be given for those applying to Catholic schools. The Archdiocese of Atlanta defines “active parishioners” as those registered and worshipping members who contribute of their time, talent and financial resources to support the Parish by the following:
become a member by officially registering in the parish actively participate in Mass each week, using their envelope to record attendance supports their Parish financially through tithing (5% to parish, 1% to Archdiocesan Appeal) shares their talent within the church community through volunteering in one of our ministries
So you see, by registering, using your envelopes and sharing your time and talent with St. Joseph’s, you keep our Parish vibrant and growing. And we in turn, can fulfill our mission to you, by welcoming your children into the faith through baptism, teaching them through our religious education and participation in the sacraments and supporting your family in times of illness and death, through our Blessing Rites and burials. Attendance: Our offertory envelopes are used to record attendance. Whether you contribute or not, we encourage you to drop your enve-lope in the collection basket so that we can see that you are faithful in your attendance. This is needed for parish verification for active parishioner rate at SJC, sponsor for baptism or confirmation and other legal documents.
