TheElijahCupOur parish has a beautiful ministry dedicated in prayerful support of vocations – The Elijah Cup Ministry. The Elijah Cup is a consecrated chalice taken home for one week, rotated at each Mass. There is also the monthly chalice given at every First Friday Devotion Mass. Each carrying case comes with a chalice, instructions, a selection of prayers, Rosary, book, and spiritual journal to share the experiences felt while praying for those called to religious life. A receiving family or individual displays the chalice in a prominent place at home and prays for an increase of men and women called to religious vocations: priests, deacons, seminarians and sisters. We always need families and individuals to pray for vocations. What a blessing …so let this chalice journey to your home and thank you for the prayerful consideration! Please look for the sign-up sheet in the narthex. For more information, please contact: Dee Hidalgo Elijah Cup Ministry Coordinator St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church 404-374-4920 mdh4jc@outlook.com

Parish News & Events

CatechistsNeeded Faith Formation is in need of Catechists as well as classroom assistants for the 2018-2019 Faith Formation year! Our Faith Formation program serves students in grades 1-12 as well as our preschool aged children through the Sunday nursery program. All volunteers and catechists are required to pass a criminal background check and receive Virtus certi ication through the Archdiocese of Atlanta. There will also be a summer catechist training to learn more about our formation program and parish leadership training. While this is an incredibly rewarding opportunity to serve our parish, catechists must be committed to the religious education or our youth. If you are a fully initiated Catholic in good standing with the Church, please prayerfully consider serving as a catechist at St Francis. For more information, please contact Amy Toft, Director of Faith Formation at atoft@stfac.org or 770-382-4549 ext 20 FaithFormationRegistrationisnowOPEN!While the family formation experience is the most important religious education that your child could ever undertake, it is our role as Church to help support and encourage you as parents as the primary educators of your children. Furthermore, sacramental reception and participation in weekly Sunday mass is foundational to living a holy, Catholic life which our catechesis is built upon. For this reason, we strongly encourage continuous faith formation of your children and offer religious education classes for grades 1-12. Please take special note that weekly mass attendance is required as part of our program. Faith Formation Registration for the 2018-2019 academic year is now open!

Prayer:OurDeepestLonging,aRonaldRolheiserBookStudy

PresentedbyWomeninFaithWith simple, down-to-earth language, Rolheiser illustrates the importance of prayer and offers techniques for how to pray, using examples from daily life, Scripture, and contemporary writers. He delves into the places that we fear to go with our issues about prayer, encouraging us with gentle kindness and words of hope and inspiration. This is a book for all manner of believers, whether your faith is solidly rooted, wavering between childhood religion and adult faith, or just not sure what you believe-or whether you believe at all.
