Twenty Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 22, 2013
Seeking Sponsors to Beautify
our Campus
We are in the process of replacing all outdoor signage at
St Brendan's. This is necessary because the current
signs are very weathered, difficult to read and don’t
represent the welcoming tone that we at St Brendan’s
have become known for. Take a look at the recently
placed new signs at each entrance to the parish grounds
to see an example of what the replacement signs might
look like.
We are seeking donations for the following:

Pope Francis’͒
September Prayer Intentions
Every month Pope Francis announces his
monthly prayer intentions, and requests that
we include the intentions in our personal
prayers.
Value of Silence. That people today,
often overwhelmed by noise, may
rediscover the value of silence and listen
to the voice of God and their brothers
and sisters.
Persecuted Christians. That Christians
suffering persecution in many parts of
the world may by their witness be
prophets of
Christ’s love.
Walking With Purpose (WWP)
– Starting Soon on Tuesday
Mornings
WWP is for women who desire to
grow in their faith using a
Scripture-based program that is
fresh, relevant and focused on
conversion of heart more than
intellectual development. Personal
study and small group discussions
enrich the lives of the WWP
participants.
Contact Christine
Welsko at cwelsko@comcast.net
for more info or to register.
Playground
Safety:
If your
children are going to play on the
church/preschool
playground,
please supervise them at all
times. Children must be 6 years of
age and younger to play on the
playground. We have had some
vandalism occur over the last few
weeks. Thank you for keeping the
playground clean and safe for the
use of all the children.
St. Brendan’s
Fund
Endowment
If you have been planning ahead
and hope to make a gift to the St.
Brendan’s Endowment Fund, now
is a great time to consider it. The
American Tax Reform Act, passed
last year, allows you to withdraw
and transfer funds from your IRA
(up to $100,000) and do so without
having to pay tax on the amount
you choose to move. This special
opportunity to avoid tax and make
a gift to St. Brendan’s or to some
other Archdiocesan Foundation
fund will expire at the end of
December 2013.
If you would like more information
on this, and other Foundation
funds,
please
contact
our
Endowment Fund coordinator Kim
Martiny, at 678-771-5322 or Diane
Duquette, Director of Gift Planning
at the Catholic Foundation of North
Georgia, at 404-497-9440.

October is "Respect Life Month"
The "40 Days for Life" Fall Campaign officially begins September 25 and
runs through November 3, 2013. During this time, people of all
denominations who are pro-life pray at abortion clinics in the area. The
clinic that we are assigned to is Planned Parenthood in
Lawrenceville. We need people to pray at these clinics and hold signs
that are respectful and dignified. In greatest need are people to
participate on Thursdays from 10AM - 6PM and the 1st and 3rd Saturdays
of each month from 9AM - 1PM. For more information, contact Ann
LeClair-Ash at atlantafrenchtutor@yahoo.com.

Stewardship Thought for the week:
Fr. Matthew asks that you please spend some time after
Mass today at the Ministry Carnival. There are so many
wonderful ministries represented. It is his hope that
each of you will find a way to “connect” to a group and
really make a difference in our parish. There will be
food, entertainment, and fun for the whole family. Your
parish community invites you to become more involved
in St. Brendan’s parish life!
