Mass at IHM next Sunday, June 26. The Archbishop and

his Auxiliary Bishops enjoy the opportunity to worship on

Sundays from time to time at the more than 120 parishes

and missions in the north half of Georgia. We are

delighted that the Archbishop will be with us next

weekend. Help us extend a warm welcome to the

successor of the Apostles and shepherd of the Church of

Atlanta!

June 12 Offertory: $16,556.00

Electronic Offertory: $6,794.54

Total: $23,350.54

This weekend’s second collection will go

to the Georgia Bulletin.

Next week, the Church throughout the

world will take up the Peter’s Pence Col-

lection, which provides Pope Francis with

the funds he needs to carry out his chari-

table works around the world. The pro-

ceeds benefit our brothers and sisters on

the margins of society, including victims

of war, oppression, and disasters. Join our

Holy Father as a witness of charity to

those who are suffering.

Happy Father’s Day: Make a gift in honor of or in memory of

your father.

First Mass of Father Gerardo Ceballos Four new priests will be ordained for the Archdiocese of Atlanta on Saturday morn-

ing, June 25 at the Cathedral. One of the newly-ordained, Gerardo Ceballos Gonzalez,

has assisted us at IHM many times during his formation, and he will celebrate his first

mass as a priest here during our 4:00 p.m. vigil mass that same day. All are welcome

to accompany him as he begins his priestly ministry. Father Gerardo has been as-

signed to St. Michael parish in Gainesville.

No Confessions So that Monsignor Al, Father Javier and Father Bill can participate in the ordination

of priests that morning, there will be no confessions at IHM on Saturday, June 25.

NATIONAL HIV TESTING DAY Monday, June 27 National HIV Testing Day was established as an annu-

al observance to promote HIV testing. The theme is

“Take the Test. Take Control.”

Step 1: Know the Facts

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. HIV weakens a person’s

immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection.

No effective cure exists for HIV. Some groups of people in the United States are

more likely to get HIV than others because of many factors including their risk

behaviors and geographic location. Blacks and Latinos continue to be dispropor-

tionately affected. According to Emory University’s Center for AIDS Research

(CFAR), the South is home to 21 of the 25 metropolitan areas with both the

highest number of individuals living with HIV and newly diagnosed with HIV

infection (includes Metro Atlanta and Augusta). CDC data show that the South

lags behind the rest of the U.S. when it comes to HIV-positive people getting

the treatment they need or knowing that they are infected in the first place.

Nearly 1 in 8 people living with HIV are unaware of their status.

Each Thursday, Dr. Louanne Bachner leads an informative and prayerful

discussion of the lectionary readings for the following Sunday. The study

meets in the Lower Level at two different times: 9:30 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. There is no registration required and no fee to participate. Feel free to join the group as your schedule permits.

Are you interested in becoming Catholic, or simply learning more about the Catholic faith? We look

forward to meeting you, answering your questions, and helping you

discern God’s call. Please join us for the first of our summer “inquiry” sessions on Wednesday, June 29,

7:00-8:00 p.m., in the lower level of the church. Contact Drew Denton in

the parish office for more information.

In preparation for the 2016-2017 school year, we are also seeking additional catechists for our faith formation programs. If you would like to help others understand and live their faith more fully – whether young children, teenagers, or adults – please let us know! Contact Drew Denton or Alicia Guerrero for more information on how to get involved.

Eligible students will receive the sacrament of Confirmation in the spring of 2017 (exact date to be determined, once the bishops release their schedules). All candidates for Confirmation must be baptized, practicing Catholics, in the 10th grade or higher. They must have received at least two years of religious education immediately prior to being confirmed, either at a Catholic school or through our parish Life Teen youth ministry program (the 2016-2017 school year will count as one full year). In addition, they must attend a few preparation sessions during the 2016-2017 school year and an overnight retreat just prior to Confirmation. There will be a mandatory meeting for Confirmation candidates and their parents on Sunday, September 25, 6:15 p.m. More details will be announced in the bulletin and on the parish website as they become available. For now, please mark your calendars for September 25 and make sure you are enrolled in religious education for the 2016-2017 school year (Enroll in Life Teen online at http://ihmatlanta.org/faith-formation-enrollment). And while you’re at it, please consider joining the music and ministry team for the 5:00 p.m. Sunday Mass, which will be moving in a youth-friendly direction this fall (sign up at http://ihmatlanta.org/lifeteenband).

If you’ve just graduated from middle school, it’s already time to start making plans for your Confirmation! Rising 9th-graders who wish to be confirmed in the spring of their 10th-grade year must be enrolled in religious education for the 2016-2017 school year. This can take place either as part of a Catholic school curriculum or through our parish Life Teen youth ministry program (or, for the adventurous, both!). Enroll in Life Teen online at http://ihmatlanta.org/faith-formation-enrollment. And while you’re at it, please consider joining the music and ministry team for the 5:00 p.m. Sunday Mass, which will be moving in a youth-friendly direction this fall (sign up at http://ihmatlanta.org/lifeteenband).

Adults who desire to be confirmed will follow a separate course of preparation. Please contact Drew Denton in the parish office for more details.

Registration is closed.

MISSION POSSIBLE PARENT MEETING Monday, June 20

for all participants who have signed up for Mission

able to attend the meeting, please email Kathy Guerrero and

the information will be emailed to you as soon as possible.

help provided by the adults with transportation and

supervising work sites. Adults are NOT required to stay

overnight— the work shifts are from 8am-2pm, but once

your group is done, you may return home or better yet, stay

with us for dinner and evening activities! All chaperones

must complete the required volunteer forms and must be

background checked prior to participating. If you are 21 and

over, and would like to participate in Mission Possible this

summer, please contact Kathy Guerrero for more details.

ADULT VOLUNTEERS FOR LIFE TEEN AND EDGE This fall we will inaugurate the Life Teen (high school) and

seeking for adults (18 years and older) to join us in this

exciting journey. Both groups will meet on Sunday evenings

right after the 5:00 p.m. Mass, from 6:15-7:30 p.m.

You do not need any previous experience in youth ministry.

However, the only requirement is that all volunteers are

Safe Environment approved and have a background check

prior to becoming a volunteer. There is no age limit to

volunteer, but you must be at least a high school graduate. If

you are interested in working with the youth starting in

September, please contact Kathy Guerrero for more

information.

LIFE TEEN BAND Calling all young musicians! Life Teen is coming soon this

fall and we are seeking teens that are interested in joining

the new Life Teen Band to play in the Sunday 5:00 p.m.

this is your opportunity to come share your talents at IHM.

Other ministry positions needed for the Life Teen Mass

include: Altar Servers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy

Communion, Lectors, and Ministers of Hospitality.

To sign up, just take a minute and complete the online form

27 de junio, Día Nacional de la Prueba de VIH , se estableció como una observancia

anual para promover la prueba del VIH. El tema es “La prueba. Tome el Control.”

Paso 1: Conozca los hechos

VIH significa virus de inmunodeficiencia humana. VIH debilita el sistema

inmunológico de la persona mediante la destrucción de células importantes que

luchan contra la enfermedad y la infección. No existe una cura eficaz para el VIH.

Algunos grupos de personas en los Estados Unidos son más propensos a contraer el

VIH que otros debido a muchos factores, incluyendo sus comportamientos de riesgo y

ubicación geográfica.

Los negros y los Latinos continúan ser desproporcionadamente afectados.

Tratamientos del VIH son muy eficaces en el control del virus, ayudan a personas que

viven con VIH a tener una vida más larga y saludable, y reducen significativamente

las posibilidades de transmitir el virus a otros. Conocer su estatus de VIH es un

primer paso crucial.
