Cross Catholic Outreach
Father Raul Perez of Cross Catholic Outreach will be visiting our parish next weekend (09/30-10/01) to speak at all the Masses on behalf of the poor in developing countries. Cross Catholic Outreach was founded to create a meaningful link between parishes in America and the priests and nuns working in the Church overseas in the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Central and South America.
Additional Confession Days
Our parish is invited to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Wednesday evenings, in addition to Saturday afternoon. Confessions on Wednesdays begin at 6 pm, and you will have the opportunity to experience God's love and mercy in this wonderful sacrament of Christ's healing ministry. No appointment is necessary, come experience this gift of Grace on Wednesday evenings or Saturday afternoons.
For daily readings, please visit the
USCCB website.

The 7 Gifts and 12 Fruits of the Holy Spirit
We know that at some point Fr. Juan will ask us again in one of his homilies, "Come on, everybody. Tell me what are the Gifts of the Holy Spirit?" And of course we'll be trying to remember what we learned when we were confirmed. Well now we can be prepared!
Let's come together for a discussion on the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit placed in our souls and why (hint: to safeguard the Theological Virtues). We'll also discuss the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are to be visible in Christians as signs that the Holy Spirit dwells within us - "as a tree is known by its fruits". Don't be caught again without an answer!
Join us on Saturday October 28, 9:00-11:30 in the St. Thomas Room. All are welcome!
Walking Toward Eternity:
Engaging the Struggles of Your Heart
by Jeff & Emily Cavins
Walking Toward Eternity is an inspiring series designed to help participants live their faith more fully. Through daily prayerful meditation with Scripture (lectio divina), you will be drawn into an intimate and life-changing encounter with Christ.
Engaging the Struggles of Your Heart, the second series in the Walking Toward Eternity Program, is a challenging study that can open our eyes to obstacles in our Christian walk such as greed, envy, fear and shame. Through prayer, reflection, guidance, and the aid of the Holy Spirit, we begin to engage these difficulties in a positive way as we continue toward our goal of union with Christ.
Come and join us each Thursday morning from 9:30-11:30 am. If you have any questions, please contact either Kristy Leischow at 770-316-4904 or Teresa Coffey at 678-290-0681.

DACA INFORMATION AND HELP
No new initial DACA applications are being accepted, effective today.
If someone has an initial application or a renewal application already in process, the processing will continue.
If someone has a current DACA permit that expires between now and March 5, 2018, it may be renewed,
as long as the renewal is filed by October 5, 2017.
Anyone who has a current DACA permit that will expire before March 5, 2018 is asked to please contact Deacon Stuart Neslin (from St. Mary's in Rome) at
DeaconNeslin@smcrome.org or at 706-506-6904 who has graciously offered to help any St. Francis parishioner renew their DACA permit. Please note that Deacon Stuart is only able to submit renewals for one month, until October 5th. It does not matter whether Deacon Stuart assisted you with your initial application forms. However, it would help greatly if you would bring a copy of your last set of DACA forms or if you would at least complete the attached
questionnaire in advance of meeting with Deacon Stuart. This will give Deacon Stuart all the necessary information to do the renewal form while you wait.
