“The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own…” – ACTS 4:32

All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God!  Think of your family, your friends, your life, your talents and your money – these are all gifts from God!  We aren’t really owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed us with.  We are called to be grateful and generous with all of our gifts for the benefit of others.

For the next two weekends April 11 and April 18, Saint Mary Magdalene is helping to raise funds for PAC.  
Pregnancy Aid Clinic is a non-profit center that has been providing life-changing services regardless of financial ability, race, age, or religion since 1984. Our care addresses the whole woman- mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual in a compassionate and nonjudgmental way.
The clinic offers comprehensive programs for mothers and fathers to navigate from pregnancy to parenthood with a focus on parenting and life skills. We strive to protect children by strengthening families.
Thanks to donations, grants, and committed volunteers who work together to create a support system, our services are available at no charge.

Please consider participating in a PAC Digital Baby Bottle Event!
Baby Bottle drives are a primary source of revenue for Pregnancy Aid Clinic, providing funds to maintain clinic operations; the clinic relies on your donations to keep PAC operating, and continue supporting women and families in need.

Every bit helps – this is an event that usually is filled with pennies and nickels – no gift is too small for the smallest among us.

Thank you for all the support for our neighbors in need. At this time, we have enough food, but clothes, toiletries and housing are a priority. 

We are accepting gift cards from superstores like Walmart and Target and our St Vincent dePaul Ministry is taking donations to provide medium-stay housing. You can bring your donations by the church in the evenings all this week, starting tonight.

Holy Week Liturgies Join us in person  or  participate virtually  (we will livestream most events) Holy Thursday: Mass of the Lord’s Supper, 7 pm Adoration after 7 pm Mass – 12 am Livestream:  https://youtu.be/…

As you know, Newnan was devastated by an E4 tornado Thursday night.  Many of our neighbors have lost their homes and especially peace of mind.  

Please help by:

•  Donating food to Bridging the Gap in Newnan, or

•  Sending money and/or gift cards (Target and/or Walmart)  to our St. Vincent dePaul Ministry.
         Checks, cash and gift cards to St. Vincent dePaul (SVdP) can be deposited in the offertory box in the church narthex.  Please write SVdP on the envelope that contains your gift.  You  may also donate to SVdP through our Online Giving platform: https://www.osvonlinegiving.com/1019.

These are the best ways to get help where it’s needed most.

Please pray for all our neighbors, especially as they face months of trying to rebuild their lives.
