Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
“What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit
his life?” (Matthew 16:26)
St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Remember, you are what you are in the eyes of God, and nothing else.” We often forget this stewardship wisdom when we spend all of our time, talent, and treasure to gain more of the world’s riches. We need to set our priorities based on God’s values and not the values of the material world.

Day of prayer to be held at historic Church of the Purification
Are you looking for a day of prayer and fellowship with your Bible study, friends, or family? Please join us!
The Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be open for a day of prayer on Saturday, September 5th. The historic church in Crawfordville, GA, has recently been restored by Purification Heritage Center, a 501c3 that encompasses the Church of the Purification; Locust Grove Cemetery, the oldest Catholic Cemetery in Georgia; and Heritage Preserve, the land where the first Catholics in Georgia settled over 200 years ago.
The church will be open for private prayer at 11 a.m. At noon, the bells will ring, signaling the Angelus prayer followed by the Rosary. The church will remain open until 1:30 p.m. Locust Grove Cemetery and Heritage Preserve, which includes a picnic pavilion and a prayer garden, will also be available to visitors on Saturday.
Historic Crawfordville and Washington are just a few miles away and offer shopping and dining options. Some favorites are Mama Chucha’s restaurant in Crawfordville and the Square Cafe and spiritual gift shop, Seek Find Renew in Washington.
Social distancing guidelines, as mandated by the Archdiocese of Atlanta, will be followed inside the church.
Purification Heritage Center plans to open the Church of the Purification on the first Saturday of every month for prayer and reflection. To find out more about the First Saturday Prayer schedule and Purification Heritage Center, visit www.purificationheritagecenter.org or contact COKAS parishioner, Ginger DiMascio, at 706-817-2503 or ginger@purificaitonheritagecenter.org.
