Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed…He told them, ‘Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.’”
- Mark 1:35, 38
In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of stewardship. Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes - healing the sick and preaching. But before He begins, Jesus makes time to be alone with God in prayer. It is through prayer, spending time with God, that we find the strength to do what He wishes us to do. Be sure to find time every day to be with God.

A letter from Archbishop Hartmayer was mailed this week to all previous donors to the Appeal. He is asking for continued support of the many important programs that help thousands in our archdiocese. The Archbishop’s goal for the 2021 appeal is $ 8,700,000. Our parish goal is $ 69,400.
Serving over 1,000,000 Catholics, the mission of the Archdiocese of Atlanta is to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord, and grow all of North and Central Georgia in faith, hope, love, and service to others. Together, we are God’s hands and feet, sharing God’s compassion and mercy, and demonstrating “Our Joyful Return to the Lord”.
Your gift to the 2021 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal helps make it possible by supporting the ministerial, outreach, education, formation and discipleship work of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Please give prayerful consideration to your level of support to help fund the essential ministries and services supported by the Appeal. Next weekend, we will hear message about the Appeal and everyone who has not yet made a gift to the Appeal will have the opportunity during mass. Please be prepared next week to make a pledge to the 2021 Appeal.
To learn more about the Appeal, and to donate online, visit archatl.com/appeal. A video of the Appeal is also available online.

We are in need of Ushers, Greeters, and Cleaning Team Members
We have a dedicated group of volunteers and we are so grateful to all of them. Each of them has made it possible to keep our doors open, our distancing safe and our church spotless. Most of them are working every week and some daily to accomplish this. If you are able to assist with this task, we really need new volunteers. After Mass there will be forms at a sign-up table outside. Please stop by and pick up a form and either complete today or fill out and drop in the box outside the office sometime this week. You can also find the form attached to the bulletin or in the flock note I sent out. Training will be provided and you will only be scheduled when you are available. Please prayerfully consider volunteering.

Does your marriage need a tune up? Or even a major overhaul?
Sometimes a marriage can run along fine and then things change.
They may need your time and attention.
Sometimes lines of communication break down and they need repair. Sometimes our focus moves away from our marriage and family and needs a little redirection. Sometimes a fair or average marriage is just not enough. Have you ever thought to yourself, "How can I make my marriage better?" If so, Retrouvaille can help. Retrouvaille is marriage program for couples whose marriage has gone off course. It begins with a weekend program that can help get your relationship back on track. It is an effective program that has worked for thousands of couples and it can work for your marriage. For more information about our upcoming VIRTUAL Retrouvaille Weekend, February 25-28 2021, contact: Andy & Lilly Cichon @ 770.912.4743 or visit our website: HelpOurMarriage.com

Pope Francis’ Prayer to Saint Joseph
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen.
