Stewardship Scripture Reflection |
|
Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.” (Matthew 14:29)
When you hear Jesus calling, do you respond immediately and trust that He knows what He’s doing? If so, you are walking on water! When we say “yes” to Jesus, we feel the power of His presence in our lives. We can feel the freedom it gives us! Listen to how Jesus is calling you to live the extraordinary life He has intended for you.

Registration for our K-12 Faith Formation programs is now available on line at COKAS.org.
Due to the need to maintain social distancing, we will provide virtual family oriented classes and youth group sessions from September through December, 2020 with the hope of transitioning to in-person gatherings in January, 2021. As Archdiocesan guidelines are updated, we will review our policies and update them at the discretion of our Pastor. As always, the safety, wellbeing and spiritual needs of your family remains paramount as we make decisions that affect our Faith Formation programs.
Visit the Faith Formation tab on our website for more information and to register your students. Please contact Anne Bared-Hill if you have questions about K-5 Faith Formation (cokas.dre@gmail.com) or Laura Brennan for questions regarding youth ministry (cokas.dym@gmail.com).
As a side note, please know that we are unable to meet face-to-face, we will be deeply dependent of our text notifications through flocknote. If you are going to be a part of one of our faith formation programs, please visit those ministries on our website to sign up for their flocknote notifications immediately.

Atlanta Diocesan Tribunal Advocate
We have an Advocate! Last summer, as part of a parish and diocesan need, COKAS requested volunteers to serve as advocates to those seeking annulments or marriage permissions within the Atlanta diocese. Jody Haas accepted this challenge and I am pleased to announce that after completing eight months of training on marriage and canon law, she was commissioned in May by Archbishop Hartmeyer as an Atlanta Diocesan Tribunal Advocate. As an advocate she is available to provide counsel to the faithful and defend their interests in the marriage nullity process.
If you or anyone you know has any issues concerning matters of permission or dispensations concerning marriage, you may contact Jody for more information or for assistance with preparation of petitions to the tribunal.

Hope During Covid-19
The Word on Fire - Bishop Robert Barron
The coronavirus outbreak has left countless people all over the world asking themselves: Why is God allowing this to happen? How do we respond? and Where can we find hope?

Prayer in Times of Anxiety & Fear
Saint Teresa of Avila
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.

Gift of Time
Christ Bray
All That Catholic Stuff
It might be difficult for us to recognize or perhaps it's not the way we envisioned it, but we have been given the gift of time. When this season fades away and this circumstance of Coronavirus has passed, how do you want to be different?
