God, source of all freedom,

this day is bright with the memory

of those who declared that life and liberty

are your gift to every human being.

Help us to continue a good work begun long ago.

Make our vision clear and our will strong:

that only in human solidarity will we find liberty,

and justice only in the honor that belongs

to every life on earth.

Turn our hearts toward the family of nations:

to understand the ways of others,

to offer friendship,

and to find safety only in the common good of all.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Our parish Mass on Monday, July 4, will be

at 8:30 a.m. Come begin your celebration

of our nation’s political independence with

the Church’s great celebration of our

radical dependence on God—the

Eucharist.

The Parish Office will be closed on Monday,

July 4, in observance of the holiday.

2855 Briarcliff Road, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30329

Through worship, education, and service, we continue the work of Jesus.

THANK YOU to the hundreds of IHM

households who made pledges to the 2016

Archbishop’s Annual Appeal! We have

exceeded our parish goal for the Appeal in

pledges! If you made a pledge to the An-

nual Appeal back in January, you should

be receiving payment reminders by mail or

by email; please do your best to fulfill that pledge by year’s end.

100% OF THE FUNDS received over our par ish goal will r eturn to us here at

IHM without any assessment from the Archdiocese. That means that every dollar giv-

en to the AAA is worth about $1.30 in money contributed to the Sunday offertory!

Your gift helps the Archdiocese and our parish!

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET made your pledge to the 2016 AAA, please do so soon.

To make your pledge online, simply go to http://appeal.archatl.com. Please be sure to

choose IHM as your designated parish!

June 26 Offertory: $16,061.00

Electronic Offertory: $5,499.54

Total: $21,560.54

Peter’s Pence: $1,583.00

This weekend’s second collection will go

to the IHM Debt Reduction Fund.

Our second collection next weekend is

our monthly appeal for the parish St. Vin-

cent de Paul Society.

Gifts of Remainders of Estates: When one passes away, there is

usually an estate sale to sell assets that no one in the family wanted.

Did you know you can leave all remaining assets to The Catholic

Foundation of North Georgia for the benefit of the parish endowment

fund? The Foundation will handle the estate sale and place the pro-

ceeds of the sale into the parish endowment fund. For information

on how to include this idea in your will, please contact: Juliet Greco

at The Catholic Foundation of North Georgia: jgreco@cfnga.org or

404-497-9440.

With heartfelt gratitude, I would like to thank the people of IHM for their kindness

and generosity. The last two years have gone by rather quickly, but the special mo-

ments I had with you will be treasured for a lifetime. I will miss you all. May the Lord

our God continue to bless you. You are in my prayers.

Rev. Fr. Bill Hao

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 2ND ANNUAL POPE FRANCIS BUILD Immaculate Heart of Mary and Atlanta Habitat for Humanity invite you to join

on the 2nd Annual Pope Francis Build! Our parish is proud to be one of the lead

sponsors again this year!

To make a donation for Immaculate Heart of Mary’s sponsorship click here:

https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/immaculateheartofmary. An online vol-

unteer sign-up form for participating in the build will be available soon.

Bake Sale IHM will have a bake sale the weekend of July 23 & 24 following the English

and Spanish Masses to raise money for our second annual Habitat for Humanity

Pope Francis House Build. There will be individual items for sale for $2 and

whole desserts for sale for $15. We will accept checks and cash.

We need your help! Please sign up to bake a dessert (or two!) and drop them off

in the narthex before the 4:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday (if you can't bring them

Saturday, just bring them with you to Mass). Please bring items packaged and

ready for sale. Please label if they contain nuts. Go to http://tiny.cc/ihmbakesale

to sign up to participate!

We also need people to sign up to attend the sale of the baked goods after the

Sunday Masses.

Last year we raised nearly $1000 at the bake sale! This year we're hoping to

raise even more! The gift of your baked goods and time to sell the items will be

a great help for us to reach our $2000 pledge.

LEBANESE POTLUCK SUPPER Saturday, July 23 In celebration of the feastday of St. Charbel Maklouf,

Monsignor Al invites all lovers of Lebanese food to a

potluck supper on Saturday, July 23, 5:30-7:30 p.m. in

the Lower Level of the church. You don’t need to be

Lebanese (or half-Lebanese like Monsignor!) to at-

tend! If you don’t know how to cook kibbeh, koosa

mahshi, fatayer, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh,

baklava or ma’amoul, you can just order out from a

restaurant, like Monsignor will be doing! Bring plenty

to share. (Monsignor has a plan for the leftovers!)

Fresh pita and family-friendly beverages will be provided. RSVP with number

attending and your planned dish to Jayna Hoffacker at 404-636-1418, ext. 226

or jhoffacker@ihmatlanta.org.

MAKER AND MASTER Thursday, July 7

IHM musicians Michael Mullink and Michael

Vrazel present Maker and Master, a concert

benefitting Ezekiel House. They will perform

at Prince of Peace Catholic Church on Thurs-

day, July 7, at 7:30 p.m. Prince of Peace is

A free-will offering will be taken at the

door. CD’s will also be available at the

concert for $10.

One hundred percent of the offering and the

sale of CDs goes directly to the Ezekiel House

Mission.

SVDP HANDYMAN If you need a handyman to help you with vari-

ous small jobs around your house, you could

obtain some help by hiring a Safe Environ-

ment approved volunteer from the St. Vincent

de Paul IHM Conference to help you with

your work.

Simply make a donation to the St. Vincent de

Paul IHM Conference in the amount of $25.00

for every hour the volunteer spends on your

job. This is a win, win, win situation: we help

you, you help the St. Vincent de Paul IHM

Conference, and the St. Vincent de Paul helps

the many people in need. So if you need

some assistance with small jobs around the

house, call 770-986-4996 and ask for Dirk.

“Christians are indistinguishable from other people either by nationality, language or customs. They do not inhabit separate cities of their own, or speak a strange dialect, or follow some outlandish way of life... With regard to dress, food, and manner of life in general, they follow the customs of whatever city they happen to be living in, whether it is Greek or foreign. And yet there is something extraordinary about their lives. They live in their own countries as though they were only passing through. They play their full role as citizens, but labor under all the disabilities of aliens. Any country can be their homeland, but for them their homeland, wherever it may be, is a foreign country… They pass their days upon earth, but they are citizens of heaven.” From the Letter to Diognetus, Second Century AD

You have done countless things to prepare for your child’s birth. But how can you make sure that you are prepared for your child’s “second birthday” — his or her birth into the Church through the waters of baptism? The next class for parents presenting infants or young children for baptism will be Sunday, July 10, 3:00-4:30 in the lower level of the church. Register online at http://ihmatlanta.org/baptism or contact Yolanda Muñoz in the parish office (ymunoz@ihmatlanta.org, 404.636.1418).

La segunda colecta de este fin de semana irá al Fondo de Reducción de la deuda de

IHM.

Nuestra segunda colecta el próximo fin de semana es para nuestra campaña mensual

dedicada a la parroquia de San Vicente de Paúl.

Muchas de las personas que buscan ayuda de San Vicente de Paul tienen niños en su

casa. Estos niños están viviendo en riesgo debido a los problemas de sus padres. Por

lo tanto, pueden tener hambre, estar mal vestidos, sin calefacción o aire

acondicionado adecuado, o en riego de ser desalojados.

Esta es una carga que los niños no deberían enfrentar, por lo que el trabajador de

casos de San Vicente de Paul normalmente tiene mucho cuidado para asegurar que se

preste ayuda lo más pronto posible.

Una situación reciente con un padre soltero en Decatur es un buen ejemplo.

El padre tiene la custodia total de su hijo, de tan sólo ocho años de edad. El padre

perdió su trabajo hace unas semanas, pero el tiempo que paso sin trabajo lo dejo sin

dinero para el alquiler del mes siguiente. Las familias de este tipo por lo general no

tienen ningún ahorro, y viven de cheque en cheque.

El Padre le ayudo a encontrar un nuevo puesto de trabajo, por lo que estarán seguros

en el futuro. El equipo de trabajadores de casos de San Vicente de Paul se reunió con

el Padre, documentó los ingresos y gastos, y trabajó con el propietario para que le

perdonara los $200 de honorarios de desalojo de y detener el proceso.

Debido a la situación y para que esta familia no fuera desalojada, los trabajadores del

caso hicieron una petición por encima de nuestras pautas normales para que pudieran

permanecer en su casa sin temor a ser desalojados.

Gracias a nuestros feligreses de IHM, San Vicente de Paul pudo mantener ese niño de

ocho años en su casa.

Si algún feligrés necesita asistencia, puede llamarnos 678-892-6163.
