CURIOUS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC FAITH? If you’ve been coming to Mass for a while, but are not Catholic, we invite you to look deeper into the Catholic faith. Come meet some faithful Catholics who love the Lord and would consider it a privilege to get to know you. Our parish will soon begin a set of sessions to share with others the truths of the Catholic faith and the fellowship of our church family. We invite you to learn what Catholics believe in an open and welcoming environment. These sessions also are opportunities for you to ask those perplexing and difficult questions you may have about the Church. If you have questions or would like further information please call Teresa at 404-805- 1656, or email tv@abelware.com.

Adventures in Matthew: "The King and His Kingdom": Registration has begun for a 24-week Bible study called Adventures in Matthew, which starts September 2, at Holy Cross. The program features small group discussions and a DVD study by noted Catholic theologian Jeff Cavins. We hope you will join us Thursday evenings in the Parish Hall from 7:30 - 9:15 p.m.  The weekly sessions focus on Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament promises, and on his establishment of the Church as the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Learn about Jesus’ glorious plan for His Church.  The cost is $35 per person for the 24-week program (costs increase to $40 per person on August 16). Includes workbook, study questions and response booklet. Partial scholarships are available. Please contact Cindy Durham with questions at cindy_durham@bellsouth.net or (770) 938-6511.
