From the Pastor:

We have all watched the news coverage of the devastation from Hurricane Florence and our hearts go

out to all those who have felt its fury. Our first reaction is to offer prayers asking that God comfort

and support the residents of the Carolinas. That is a wonderful practice and I encourage you to

continue to pray for them, but in addition, I encourage you to consider a donation to help with the

recovery. Listed below is the address for Catholic Charities central office in Baltimore.

Mail donations to:

Catholic Charities USA

RE: Hurricane Florence

P.O. Box 17066

Baltimore, MD 21297-1066

To donate online, go to our website for the link to Catholic Charities.

On behalf of all those whose lives have been upended, I thank you for your care and concern, your

prayers and your financial support.

Today in our Parish Hall representative from our Outreach and Service Ministries are present sharing

information about the many ways available for St. Peter Chanel parishioners to serve those in need.

Consider joining one or more of these groups. If you try one out and it doesn’t seem to be the right

one for you, you can leave that ministry, but you will know that you have given a ministry a chance.

Besides, we have donuts and coffee today and that is always a “sweet” thing.

See you at mass,

The flowers for our liturgy last weekend (September 15/16) were

donated in honor of the Meghan Monty & Landon Clement

Maximizing a church's role as a child-safe environment begins with making adults more aware of the ways children

and adults interact with each other. The program we use in the Archdiocese of Atlanta is The Protecting God's

Children program by VIRTUS, which educates and trains adults (clergy, religious, teachers, staff, volunteers, and

parents) about the dangers of abuse, the warning signs of abuse, the ways to prevent abuse, the methods of

properly reporting suspicions of abuse, and responding to allegations of abuse.

By using best demonstrated practices for training, the Protecting God's Children program helps make churches safer

for all people—especially the vulnerable.

You may register at ANY training session that is offered by the Archdiocese. Here is the

website: VIRTUS.ORG.

If you have any questions, contact Robbin Spinner at [email protected] or

all the good He has done for me?” - Psalm 116:12 We are called to be good stewards of the gifts God has given us. Good stewards often have assets they can share with our parish endowment fund.

Why does Jesus call Himself the

“Son of Man?” If Jesus is God’s

Messiah, why does He undergo

suffering?

How do we know the Resurrection

happened? Does the Resurrection

have any significance in human

history?

10/08/18: The Cross—How do

we understand the sacrifice of Jesus

in light of world religions? What

does it mean to “offer it up?” How

do we understand the “wrath of

God?”

10/15/18: Why We Worship

Jesus—How did the Apostles make

the transition from following Jesus

as God’s Messiah to worshipping

Him as God Himself?

10/22/18: Understanding

Jesus?” What does Mary tells us

about ourselves?

All of us need the reminder found in today’s Gospel: To be great in God’s Kingdom is to be the servant of all. In

Jesus’ time, children were without status or power, possessing no legal rights. Who are the people without power or

status in our society that Jesus is calling us to serve? Do we do so willingly? What might your family do to remember

that those who are great in God’s kingdom are those who willingly serve others?

Join a CLOW Team!Join a CLOW Team! Children’s Liturgy of the Word is designed to help

children grow in their understanding of Scripture as well

as the rituals we experience in the Liturgy of the Word.

Age appropriate language and reflections on the

Scripture help the children apply the message to their

everyday life. Through CLOW, the children will

experience the proclamation of the Word through

movement and song as well as through quiet reflection

listening to God’s Word.

When is it? On most Sundays of the year at both

the 9:00 am and 10:45 am Masses.

Where is it? In the Chapel. The children are called

forward after Opening Prayer for a blessing and then

dismissed to the Chapel. During the Offertory, the

children will return to their families.

What is the Time Commitment? Just ONE

Sunday a month. You are already at Mass, so very

little time is needed outside of your normal Sunday

worship routine! Prep time is just 5-30 minutes prior

to Mass depending on your role that week.

How do I join a CLOW Team? Contact

Rosemary Potts at 678-832-1229 or

[email protected] to get started with this

ministry.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

A big THANK YOU to the

wonderful St. Peter Chanel

Community for making our

annual St. Vincent de Paul

Donation Drive a success!

We filled two trucks once again with

your donations of clothing, toys and

household items. Some items will go

directly to people in our community,

while others will be sold in SVdP

Thrift stores. Proceeds go to

support programs and services that

help individuals and families break the

cycle of poverty and achieve stability

and self-sufficiency.

Remember that you can always drop

off clothing and other small, non-

breakable items in the bin behind the

church.

On September 27th, the Church

celebrates the feast of St. Vincent de

Paul, who knew that “God had sent him

to bring good news to the poor.”

Together with your gifts and donations,

the members of the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul continue his work and

mission in our parish. We appreciate

your support!

Interested parishioners are always

welcome at our monthly meetings.

The next meeting is scheduled for

September 24th at 7:00 pm.
