EQUIP’s “Holy Smokes” Event
RICA Classes begin! 25 in attendance!
On September 14, Mass was held for EQUIP, our young adult ministry, to celebrate
the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. After Mass, the group relocated to the rec-
tory grounds for a bonfire and s’mores.
Equip Athens is the young adult ministry of St. Joseph’s. They host faith formation
talks, discipleship groups, special liturgies, socials, and more.
The mission of Equip Athens is to build a Catholic community of young adults
through fellowship, to foster unity through prayer, and to equip and form mission-
ary disciples of Jesus Christ through the Sacraments. Equip is guided by the Holy
Spirit and led by the examples of the Saints. We strive to bring people to love and
follow Christ through the example of St. John Paul the Great and the patronage of
Our Lady, Star of the New Evangelization.
To learn more about the group and their activities, check them out on Facebook,

PARISH NEWS
Here I am, good and gentle Jesus, kneel-
ing before you. With great fervor I pray
and ask you to instill in me genuine con-
victions of faith, hope and love, true
sorrow for my sins and a firm resolve to
amend them. While I contemplate your
five wounds with great love and compas-
sion, I remember the words which the
prophet David long ago put on your lips:
" They have pierced my hands and feet; I
can count all my bones."
ST JOSEPH SCHOOL
St. Joseph Catholic Parish School (SJS) partnered up with Athens Catholic Radio to bring awareness to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Mr. George Sigalas, Executive

radio industry. Students thoroughly enjoyed the visit and SJS and Athens Catholic Radio are already working on future partnership efforts. Tune in to 105.7 to check
out Athens Catholic Radio. To learn more about all the exciting projects happening at SJS, schedule a tour today! Spots still remain for the 2017-18 school year.
PATH (Post Abortion Therapy and Heal-ing) One in three women of child bearing years have experienced abortion. Confi-dential Scriptural healing is available to the mothers, fathers and to those who have assisted with abortion. Our faith shares with us that God’s love for us is infinite and there is nothing that cannot be forgiven. We can intellectualize this truth but forgiveness of self is equally important. In The Lord’s Prayer, the “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us” that ‘those’ includes ourselves. Save One is a weekly Bible Study available locally. A weekend Rachel’s Vineyard weekend retreat is coming up on 9/29. Call 404 717-5557 to sign-up for either or both opportunities. www.healingafterabortion.com.

Saturday, October 14 at 9:30 a.m. to

tentions for peace and for those in
need throughout the world. Bring a

you. (Rain location is Parish Center)

Reflexión de la Semana Pasada
Aquí estoy, buen Jesús, arrodillado ante
ti. Con gran fervor rezo y pido que in-
culques en mí genuinas convicciones de
fe, esperanza y amor, verdadero dolor
de mis pecados y la firme resolución de
enmendarlos. Mientras contemplo tus
cinco llagas con gran amor y com-
pasión, me acuerdo de las palabras que
en aquellos tiempos el profeta David
puso en sus labios: "Han taladrado mis
manos y mis pies; puedo contar todos
mis huesos.
