Divine Mercy Sunday
“The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own...” - ACTS 4:32
All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your life, your talents and your money – these are all gifts from God! We aren’t really owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed us with. We are called to be grateful and generous with all of our gifts for the benefit of others.

We are proud to introduce ourselves as the Holy Land Carvings group from the Holy Land. We have come to the United States representing the Christian wood carvers of Bethlehem that rely on the tourism to support their families.
Due to the bad situation and the interruption of the tourist trade, thousands of families in the Holy Land are in danger of having to leave their homes in search of work. Our mission is to bring and sell the Olive Wood Carvings to the catholic Churches in the United States to help the Christian families remain in their homes and support their families. These Christians who make their livelihood through the selling of their hand carved Olive Wood religious items are depending on us to bring these beautiful carving, such as Nativity Scenes, Crucifixes, Rosaries, Statues, Picture of the Last Supper, and several other religious items to you.
Please look over these carvings that are available to you this weekend -
April 10th & 11th. Help support this self-help project that enables to keep the Christians present in the Holy Land. Your help and understanding in this crucial matter are greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by phone or e-mail listed below.
Thank you,
Holy Land Carvings

National Day of Prayer is coming
to Greene & Putnam Counties
The National Day of Prayer (NDP) is coming to Greene & Putnam Counties with a joint praying event on Thursday, May 6, 2021 from 12:00 -1:00pm at the Briarpatch Farm located at 725 Pea Ridge Road, Eatonton, GA 31024. This is the 75th Anniversary for the event and it exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families.
The NDP stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. The unanimous passage of the bill establishing the National Day of Prayer as an annual event signifies that prayer is as important to our nation today as it was in the beginning. Father Michael will be leading one of the prayer topics.
Briarpatch Farm is approximately a 10 minute drive from Publix in Greene or city center Eatonton. For more information contact Fran D’Antonio at (404) 391-4120 or fran547@aol.com.

The “Giving Back to the Community” Golf Tournament held by Christ Our King and Savior Church is set for April 12, 2021 at Harbor Club on Lake Oconee. The 18-hole tournament is a scramble format. Players will be competing for the COKAS Cup Challenge, sponsored by Bank South. Plans are underway for an exciting and fun day of golf at Harbor Club with the opportunity to win valuable prizes.
Last year’s golf tournament raised just over $30,500 for Community Outreach Programs for Greene, Putnam, and Hancock Counties. Approximately $14K was earned by selling the raffle tickets distributed to each family. Raffle tickets were mailed to all parish families in late February. Please return them in time for the tournament either by placing in the collection basket or dropping them off in the office today, April 9th.
We also need a few more volunteer staff to handle setup and registration on tournament day at Harbor Club, monitors to oversee the Par-3 Poker, Hole-in-One and Putting Contests, the 50/50 Challenge and supply water and ice during the day. Lunch will be provided. If you would like to help, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Dave Dornheggen at 513-675-5230 or send him an email at david.dornheggen@gmail.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.
