19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Get up and eat or the journey will be too much for you!”
1 KINGS 19:7
God knows that committing to a stewardship lifestyle is difficult. However, we were not designed to do it on our own, we need His help. Fortunately, God gave us the greatest gift of all, His son, Jesus. Through the gift of the Eucharist we join our sacrifice with the sacrifice of the Holy Mass and receive the strength and courage to be His joyful disciples.

SOUTHEAST CATECHIST CONFERENCE 2021 |
|
With all of the richness of our Catholic Faith, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, ill-equipped, or under qualified to teach people about Jesus and His Church.
But what if you didn’t have to know EVERYTHING. What if all Jesus needed for you to make a profound impact on another’s life was to know just a little bit more.
We all have the capacity to learn a little bit more about Jesus and His Church. Imagine the impact on the Church if we all knew just a little bit more about Jesus.
At the Southeast Catechist Conference, we are equipping families, faith formation and ministry leaders, catechists, volunteers, and teachers to better know the Faith and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. With nearly a dozen dioceses across the southeast United States, this is going to be a powerful gathering.
The online conference is Free for all from August 12-15, and offers a mix of recorded presentations and interactive live sessions to equip you with the tools and knowledge to be better witnesses of the Faith.
The online nature gives attendees maximum flexibility to choose the live sessions they wish to attend and the recorded presentations they are going to watch. This year, we are also creating learning tracks to help guide you to the best content based on your role you play as a parent, teacher, catechist, or volunteer.
There are even opportunities to gather at the local level to attend the conference in community. Contact your parish faith formation and evangelization leaders to learn more.
Step one is registering for free! Click below to register.
Register today for free. We look forward to growing with you.

Have you started your Cursillo?
The Cursillo method takes a Christian beyond a passive belief in God to a daily interaction with God and His people, helping one to become
more committed in Christ. A Cursillo weekend is not simply a retreat,
but rather the beginning of a person's life-long growth as a Christian. If you are interested in deepening your faith and growing in Christian community, Cursillo may be just what you're looking for.
The Cursillo journey begins with a three-day weekend experience which invites Catholics to dive deeper into the well of our faith and personally connect with God's unlimited love. The Atlanta Archdiocese Cursillo weekends will be held at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers. Weekends begin Thursday evening and conclude Sunday afternoon. (Men September 23-26; Women September 30 - October 3).
If you are interested in attending a Cursillo weekend, feel free to
contact Kathy Benson (770-241-0374) or Hal Benson (678-488-2438).
They will answer questions and guide you through the application
process.

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,

and defend us from every evil. Amen.
