Boys and Girls of Saint Mary Magdalene Catholic Church, it is now time to join the Altar Server Ministry.   God calls us all to be a part of the celebration of the Mass.  This is your chance to be a part of this celebration.  There is a long tradition of Altar Servers serving God in this way.  Let’s be a part of this tradition.  Girls & Boys 10 years and older who have received First Holy Communion can become Altar Servers.  Training dates available by request.  Serve once a month at a Mass of your choice.  This ministry is more than just Altar serving, it’s a community of our youth.  We have yearly activities which include campfires, picnics, movie nights, game nights and more.  Contact Tim Heatherman timheatherman@comcast.net  770-842-6148

• The purpose of the Elijah Cup Program is to encourage families to pray for and promote vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life. When we pray for vocations, we lift up to our Father those men and women whom He is calling to follow Him in a very special way. We are able to accommodate two families per week.  A SignUpGenius is available with the following link or scan this QR code:
