THANK YOU to the hundreds

of IHM households who made

pledges to the 2016 Archbish-

op’s Annual Appeal over the

last weeks!

100% OF THE FUNDS re-

ceived over our parish goal will

return to us here at IHM without

any assessment from the Archdiocese. That means that every dollar given 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!

May 22 Offertory: $18,179.00

Electronic Offertory: $18,630.54

Total: $36,809.54

This weekend’s second collection will go

to our IHM Debt Reduction Fund. All

contributions to this fund will go toward

accelerating the retirement of our parish

debt. Thank you for your generosity!

Next weekend’s second collection will

also go to our IHM Debt Reduction Fund.

Establish your own endowment fund: It only takes $5,000 to

establish an endowment fund to benefit your parish or favorite

ministry. Once the fund reaches $25,000, it will be eligible to

provide annual distributions to the designated parish or ministry.

Others can give to this endowment which will help it grow faster. A

named endowment could also be started by the men or women’s

club at church or the Knights of Columbus. For more information

on creating an endowment fund please contact Juliet Greco at the

Catholic Foundation: jgreco@cfnga.org or 404-497-9440.

We recently learned that Archbishop Gregory has assigned Father Bill Hao as paro-

chial vicar at St. Brigid Catholic Church in Johns Creek, effective July 1. From that

new assignment he will continue his leadership of the Holy Name of Jesus Chinese

Catholic Mission as its first administrator.

We will send him to his new assignment with a reception in his honor on Saturday,

June 18, 5:00-7:00 p.m., in the Historic Church. Please come help us offer Father Bill

our gratitude and affection.

THANK YOU Thank you to everyone who attended the

Pentecost International Potluck Supper, to the

thanks to the RCIA community who hosted

the dinner. “We, though many, are one body

in Christ” (1 Cor 10:17).

GIRL SCOUT LEMON-AID STAND June 4 & 5 The Girls Scouts of Senior Troop 27403 and Junior Troop 12560 will be holding

a community service event serving Lemonade and sweet T along with delicious

Girl Scout Cookies at their LemonAid stand after all Masses the weekend of

June 4 and 5. Please join us and make a minimum donation of $5 per family to

enjoy the Girl Scout refreshments and help a needy organization. Lady T has

been ministering to the homeless for 15 years in Atlanta.

The Mission of Lady T's Homeless Ministry is to supply the physical and

spiritual nutrition to the less fortunate individuals that live on the streets, in the

parks, behind alleys, in the woods and those that have found a place in the

battered women, children and men shelters. If you have any questions about

this community service project or about Lady T please contact Troop Leader

Deb Henderson at hendersondl28@gmail.com.

IHM PASTORAL COUNCIL THE PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL is the consultative body that advis-

es the pastor in planning and sustaining the pastoral life of the parish. The

twelve councilors meet six times a year on Monday evenings with Monsignor

Jowdy. Each summer four new councilors are selected to serve 3-year terms. If

you may be interested in serving your parish community in this way, please see

the Pastoral Council materials in the literature rack in the church narthex or at

the parish office in the Maloney Center.

God of power and mercy,

you destroy war and put down earthly pride.

Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears,

that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters.

Keep in your mercy those men and women

who have died in the cause of freedom

and bring them safely

into your kingdom of justice and peace.

We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
