First Communion Activities

We will keep you informed by app, website, email and announcements.  The April 4 retreat for Grades 2-5 is canceled.    The parent meeting, scheduled for Sunday, March 22, is canceled.  For now, we are keeping First Communion on the calendar for April 25.  We will make a decision about the April 25th date as we see how things progress with the spread of COVID-19.  Hopefully, all will be well, and we will continue with our plans at that time.

Church Offices are Closed

The church offices are closed until further notice.  If you have a question, you can contact the administrative assistant, Livier Orendain, at saintpaullivier@gmail.com.  Emails will be checked daily.  For questions on First Communion, please email Laurie Vitek at saintpauldre@gmail. com.  For direct link to emails, please click on the icon below the staff name on this page.   FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY, you can contact Father Fabio at 770-757-8958.

In compliance with March 16 directives from the Archdiocese:  Effective Tuesday, March 17, we will suspend all public Masses for the next three weeks including the weekends of March 21-22; March 28-29; and April 4-5.  As new information comes out from the government, the Archdiocese will continue to evaluate and revise our provisions.

SOR and Adult Faith Formation Classes are Cancelled

The Archdiocese of Atlanta, in their updated advisory regarding COVID-19 virus, recommends that if county or city schools have closed, parishes should also consider suspending their faith formation classes.  After much discussion, we have decided to end SOR and RCIA classes effective March 13, as well as adult faith formation on Sundays and Tuesdays.  We are very sorry to do this, and the decision wasn’t made lightly.  We will keep you informed with any changes or additions by this website, the parish app, and the bulletin.  You can also check the calendars at the above link, which Livier will continue to update.
