Fr. Terry has been reassigned to St. John Evangelist in Hapeville, GA. His last day will be Monday, June 30. We will have a Toast and Roast Barbeque to celebrate and thank him for his time with us on Sunday, June 15 at 1:00. All parishioners all invited.

The Knights of Columbus are collecting donations at their table in the Narthex after all masses this weekend May 17 and 18 to raise money for a new portable ultrasound machine for the Fayette Pregnancy Resource Center, which serves Fayette, Coweta, and surrounding counties, and is one of two pregnancy centers that are approved by the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Expectant mothers who get to see their child in the womb and hear their heartbeat are far more likely to let them live. You may donate by clicking on the link or QR code below. Please be generous toward this life saving effort!
