Dear friends in the Risen Lord,
Although it was a little easier to discern when the Lord’s Ascen-
sion was celebrated on Thursday, the nine days from Ascension to
Pentecost are the Church’s original novena (from the Latin for nine) and
the template for all subsequent novenas—nine days of prayer character-
ized by fervent perseverance, trust in Christ’s promises, and solidarity
with the whole community of faith.
The story of the disciples locked in the upper room is really our
story. Like them, we, too, have known Jesus as the center of our lives, as
our Lord, our teacher and our friend, and the thought of his going away
from us leaves us paralyzed with fear. Like the disciples after the Lord’s
ascension, we, too, have felt alone and confused in the face of the
challenges of our lives and the evils of the world, and we have been
tempted to lock ourselves away behind the closed doors of family or
church. Like the disciples, we have been slow to believe all that Jesus has
told us, especially that he would be with us until the end of the world, and that
the Spirit whom he sends would strengthen us for every good work.
Let us make of this last week of Easter our own novena for peace in the
world. Although the days will be seven, not nine, we know that it is our
devotion that pleases God, not the number of our prayers. Let us pray with all
the disciples—even if we happen to find ourselves alone or apart. And let us
pray not in fear and trembling, but in trusting hope. The Spirit, after all, has
already been given to us!
Your brother in Christ’s word and work,
All are invited to join us for the
Pentecost International Potluck

This weekend’s second collection is the
monthly appeal for our parish St. Vincent
de Paul Society.
Next weekend’s second collection will go
to our IHM Debt Reduction Fund.
Most of the people seeking help from St. Vincent DePaul need help in a hurry. In
many cases they have tried various ways to find the money to pay their bills, but des-
peration leads them to call for help, many times just days before an eviction or utility
cut off.
A recent situation with a single Mother in Decatur is a good example.
The lady has always been employed as a medical assistant, paying her bills and rais-
ing her daughter who will go to college next year. However, she lost her job about 5
weeks earlier due to a re-structuring at her place of employment. Since then, she has
been actively seeking a new job.
With her rent due in days, and notice of the beginning of eviction processing, she
turned to St. Vincent DePaul for help. Our two Vincentian case workers visited her in
her home. They learned all about her situation, listed out her income and expenses,
and said some prayers for her support.
Quick action was needed, as the landlord was two days from adding on late fees and
eviction processing fees totaling $300 more over and above her normal rent. Such
aggressive tactics by landlords are quite common.
Due to the urgency, the Vincentians decided to make a request above our normal
guidelines so this family can remain in their home without fear of eviction.
Thanks to our generous IHM parishioners, St. Vincent DePaul was able to keep the
family safely in their home.
If a parishioner needs help, they can call 678-892-6163.
Attention all new parishioners!
You are invited to the Newcomers Welcome
Reception on Saturday, May 21, 2016, in the
lower level of the church after the 4:00 p.m.
Vigil Mass. Please RSVP no later than
Wednesday, May 18!
If you provided your email address when you
registered with the parish, you will be receiv-
ing an evite. If you did not, or if you prefer not to RSVP electronically, please call
the parish office at 404-636-1418

CONSECRATION TO JESUS THROUGH MARY May 2-June 3 Do you have a special devotion to Mary?
As we are called to turn towards Jesus Christ and enter into a deeper relation-
ship with Him, consider consecrating yourself to Jesus Christ through Mary.
The Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary by St. Louis-Marie de Monfort
involves a 33-day preparation period, which consists of daily readings and
prayers, and culminates with a prayer of consecration on a Marian feast day.
Both the preparation and the prayer of consecration can be done
individually. Here at IHM, a group of parishioners will begin the 33-day
devotion individually on May 2 and will get together as a group to do the prayer
of consecration on the feast day of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on June 4
after the 8:30 a.m. Mass. Come and join us!
If you have any questions regarding this devotion or if you would like to receive
a copy of the complete packet of readings and prayers, please contact Fr. Bill at
[email protected] or call 404-636-1418, ext. 242.

IHM School is celebrating Screen-Free Week May 2-8, 2016.
This is an annual celebration when students read, play,
think, create, get active, and spend more time with family
and friends instead of watching TV, surfing the web, or
playing with apps and video games. It’s about taking a
break from digital entertainment. You can participate, and
still use devices for work or school. If screens of any kind
interfere with family time, you may want to rethink how and when you’re using them.
More information can be found at www.screenfree.org. Please join IHM School in having a great
