THANK YOU to the hundreds of IHM households who made pledges to the 2016
Archbishop’s Annual Appeal! We have exceeded our parish goal for the Appeal in
pledges! If you made a pledge to the Annual Appeal back in January, you should be
receiving payment reminders by mail or by email; please do your best to fulfill that
pledge by year’s end.
100% OF THE FUNDS received over our par ish goal will r eturn to us here at
IHM without any assessment from the Archdiocese. That means that every dollar giv-
en to the AAA is worth about $1.30 in money contributed to the Sunday offertory!
Your gift helps the Archdiocese and our parish!
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET made your pledge to the 2016 AAA, please do so soon.
To make your pledge online, simply go to http://appeal.archatl.com. Please be sure to
choose IHM as your designated parish!
July 10 Offertory: $15,118.00
Electronic Offertory: $12,404.54
Total: $27,522.54
This weekend’s second collection will go
to our IHM Debt Reduction Fund.
Our second collection next weekend will
also go to the IHM Debt Reduction Fund.
Do you have an insurance policy you no longer need? Donate it
to the parish endowment fund. The process is simple and it will help
the parish for many years to come. You will receive a nice tax de-
duction based on the cash value in the policy. For details contact:
Juliet Greco at The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia:
[email protected] or 404-497-9440. More estate planning ideas are
available at www.cfngalegacy.org.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 2ND ANNUAL POPE FRANCIS BUILD Immaculate Heart of Mary and Atlanta Habitat for Humanity invite you to join
on the 2nd Annual Pope Francis Build! Our parish is proud to be one of the lead
sponsors again this year!
To make a donation for Immaculate Heart of Mary’s sponsorship click here:
https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/immaculateheartofmary. An online vol-
unteer sign-up form for participating in the build will be available soon.
Bake Sale IHM will have a bake sale the weekend of July 23 & 24 following the English
and Spanish Masses to raise money for our second annual Habitat for Humanity
Pope Francis House Build. There will be individual items for sale for $2 and
whole desserts for sale for $15. We will accept checks and cash.
We need your help! Please sign up to bake a dessert (or two!) and drop them off
in the narthex before the 4:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday (if you can't bring them
Saturday, just bring them with you to mass). Go to http://tiny.cc/ihmbakesale to
sign up to participate! Please bring items packaged and ready for sale. Please
label if they contain nuts.
We also need people to sign up to attend the sale of the baked goods after the
Sunday Masses.
Last year we raised nearly $1000 at the bake sale! This year we're hoping to
raise even more! The gift of your baked goods and time to sell the items will be
a great help for us to reach our $2000 pledge.
LEBANESE POTLUCK SUPPER Saturday, July 23 In celebration of the feastday of St. Charbel Maklouf,
Monsignor Al invites all lovers of Lebanese food to a
potluck supper on Saturday, July 23, 5:30-7:30 p.m. in
the Lower Level of the church. You don’t need to be
Lebanese (or half-Lebanese like Monsignor!) to at-
tend! If you don’t know how to cook kibbeh, koosa
mahshi, fatayer, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh,
baklava or ma’amoul, you can just order out from a
restaurant, like Monsignor will be doing! Bring plenty
to share. (Monsignor has a plan for the leftovers!)
Fresh pita and family-friendly beverages will be provided. RSVP with number
attending and your planned dish to Jayna Hoffacker at 404-636-1418, ext. 226
FLANNERY O’CONNOR FILM SCREENING Sunday, August 7 Uncommon Grace traces the people and events that shaped Flannery O’Con-
nor’s remarkable career, as well as the important role that Catholicism played in
her writing. Featuring expert commentary and rare photographs, Uncommon
Grace will give you a new appreciation for this highly celebrated, yet often
misunderstood, storyteller.
The film will be screened at the Marietta International Film Festival at The
Strand Theatre on Sunday, August 7. Visit http://www.beataproductions.com
for more information.
CATHOLIC FOUNDATION GRANT! We are pleased to announce that we have
received a grant award of $1,000 from the
Catholic Foundation of North Georgia, Inc. to
allow us to purchase a portable sound system
for use at Palm Sunday, Good Friday and
Holy Saturday liturgies, and at other times
through the year. We thank the Catholic
Foundation for their support of our parish and
its mission!
SVDP EMERGENCY FOOD DRIVE July 16 & 17
Due to heavy demand, our SVdP food pantry
inventory is quite low. Therefore, we are
conducting an emergency food drive this
weekend. Our truck will be parked in the
upper lot and Vincentians will be there to
accept your donations. Your generosity in
helping us to fulfill our mission to feed the
hungry as always is greatly appreciated.
SAVE THE DATE - PARISH PICNIC Saturday, October 22
Our Parish Picnic will be Saturday, October
22, 11:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (Note the change in
hours!) More information is coming soon!

site for summer activities!

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. There is no registration required and no fee to participate. Feel free to join the group as your schedule permits.
Are you interested in becoming Catholic, or simply learning more about the Catholic faith? We look
forward to meeting you, answering your questions, and helping you
discern God’s call. Please join us for the first of our summer “inquiry”
sessions on Wednesday, July 27, 7:00-8:00 p.m., in the lower level of the
church. Contact Drew Denton in the parish office for more information.
In preparation for the 2016-2017 school year, we are also seeking additional catechists for our faith formation programs. If you would like to help others understand and live their faith more fully – whether young children, teenagers, or adults – please let us know! Contact Drew Denton or Alicia Guerrero for more information on how to get involved.
As the summer begins to wind down, we look for-
ward to a dynamic year of Faith Formation at
IHM. Several exciting events will be taking place
over the next few weeks as we prepare for the
schoolyear. First among them is our annual Vaca-
tion Bible School. This week, nearly 200 children
will fill IHM School to have fun learning about
God’s grace and the gift of prayer. They will be
guided by dozens of teenage and adult volunteers.
Please pray for everyone involved as we embark
on this “Radical Ride on the Wings of Prayer”!

“QUO VADIS” RETREAT FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS When: July 27-July 29, 2016
Where: Camp Gideon, Acworth, GA
All high school male students are invited to attend this retreat
to inspire you to discern God’s call to religious life and share
an amazing weekend of brotherhood. This weekend retreat
will include group activities and talks with local seminarians.
The Legend The name Quo Vadis refers to a story about St. Peter that
occurred a few days before his crucifixion. Legend tells us that
as Peter was walking away from Rome he encountered Jesus
carrying His cross on the Appian Way. Peter was leaving
Rome in discouragement due to the persecutions, thinking that
Christ's Church would never be founded. When he encountered
Jesus, Peter asked Him, "Quo Vadis Domine?" or "Where are
you going Lord?" Jesus replied, "I am going to Rome to be
crucified once again." At that moment, St. Peter's
discouragement turned to courage. He turned around and
walked back to Rome, knowing what he had to do. A few days
later he bore witness to Christ and was crucified upside down
in the area of the Vatican Hill, planting the seed where the
Church would grow.
Please register online at: www.archatl.com/events/quo-
vadis-retreat-for-high-school-boys/. After submitting your
online form, you will need to complete the following:
1) A check for $30 made payable to the Archdiocese of
Atlanta.
2) Print out and have your parents fill out and sign the consent
forms.
