Campaign Corner - August 5, 2018
Phase I Tentative Project Dates outlined in this issue of Campaign Corner.
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
August 15, 2018 is the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is a holy day of obligation. Mass times are 7AM, 9AM, NOON, and 7PM. The parish office, adoration, and the Playroom will be closed for the day.
Habitat Volunteers Needed
We are required to provide 40 volunteers for each of the 8 build days. This is the area where we have fallen short in the past. We are asking for your time on one Saturday, during the eight day build, and you may want to consider organizing a small group of friends or co-workers. It is also a great way for the youth to earn service hours. Absolutely no skills required! There is a job for everyone and you can choose the function most comfortable for you. This is not an exclusive All Saints project, all are welcome. Please signup online or contact Jane & Mike will at habitat@allsaintsdunwoody.org . Volunteer sign up will also be at all Masses on August 12th and 13th.

Christ is alive and fully present in the Eucharist. Join us as we delve into the "source and summit" of our Faith with Bishop Robert Barron's DVD-based program: Eucharist: Sacred Meal, Sacrifice and Real Presence. This spiritual study will give you a deeper understanding of the precious gift of Christ's body, blood, soul and divinity that you can receive at each and every Mass. 

Small groups will meet weekly for 6 weeks beginning 9/10 and concluding on Monday, 10/22, the Feast of St. John Paul II, with a special blessing at the 7pm Mass.
