Women’s Guild Meeting

Everyone is invited to the next meeting of the Women’s Guild on Saturday, July 8 from 10am to noon.  Refreshments will be served.  July is the anniversary of our parish; come and and share fun stories about St. Paul the Apostle Mission and Church.  We hope you can join us!

Chicken Dinner Fundraiser

The Knights of Columbus is hosting a chicken dinner on Saturday, July 29.  Pick-up plates will have half-a-chicken, baked beans, coleslaw, roll and dessert.  The cost is $9.  Please pick up your dinners from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm in the parish hall; tickets will be sold after Masses for the dinners.  The Knights do a lot of things for our parish, and many go unseen.  Take this opportunity to support your Knights Council #11676.

Altar Servers Have Fun!

The altar servers had so much fun on their field trip recently to Pine Mountain Wild Animal Safari.  Check out the photos in the narthex of the church.  Thanks to Mary Ruth and all her helpers for the fundraising that went on, so that these kids could have their trip.  And remember, we can always use more altar servers – if you received your First Holy Communion, you can sign up!  Contact Mary Ruth Jones at maryruthjones8@gmail.com, or 706-892-4438 for more information.

Next SOR Registration is July

The next SOR registration will be held on July 29 and 30.  On July 29, we will be in the parish hall after Mass. On July 30, we will be in the hall from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.   To save time, you can register online.  Complete the downloadable forms on the Religious Ed link above.  Bring your completed paperwork to the office, or to the next registration, together with your check or cash.  The tuition fees are $35 per child, with a maximum of $90 per family.  There are also sacramental fees required for those receiving First Communion in the Spring, and those in Confirmation Year 1, of $20.  If your child is registering for the first time, please bring his/her birth certificate and baptism certificate.  Thank you and we look forward to seeing you this summer!

Seeking Catechists for Fall

We have had a few openings in School of Religion, and we would love to fill them as soon as possible.  If you are looking for some volunteer work, and enjoy working with (really great!) kids, please consider teaching SOR.  You are provided with a teacher’s manual to make everything easy, and we have a great team to join.  Class sizes are small.  We offer classes from K through Grade 10, on Wednesday evenings (6:30 pm to 7:45 pm) and Sunday mornings (11:00 am to 12:15 pm). For more information, please call Laurie at 770-654-9707, and check out the Religious Ed link above to explore.

By the way — did you know that if you are a catechist, your children come to SOR for free??
