The Gospel in Stone: A Brief Introduction to Church Architecture What do our buildings say about our beliefs? On October 18 and October 25, Mark Ethun, an architect, historic preservationist, and IHM parishioner, will be leading a two-part series on church architecture. The first part will cover church architecture in general, and the second part will look at IHM specifically. These events will take place in between the morning Masses (10:15-11:15).

Scripture Study: Thursday mornings and evenings Each Thursday, Dr. Louanne Bachner leads an informative and prayerful discussion of the lectionary readings for the following Sunday.

Love is our Mission: The Family Fully Alive Coming Soon!

Last weekend thousands of families from around the world gathered with Pope Francis in Philadelphia. What were they talking about? Come find out later this year, when we discuss Love is Our Mission, the short book specifically pre-pared for that historic occasion. Stay tuned for more details.

What is Liturgy of the Word for Children? The Liturgy of the Word for Children offers children, ages 4-7, the opportunity to

hear God’s Word in an accessible and engaging format. They listen to the

scriptures, say the Creed, and offer their prayers in language appropriate to their age

-level. We offer the Children’s Liturgy at 9:00 and 11:30 Mass throughout the

school year. No registration is required; simply send your children forward when

the priest or deacon calls them.

Adults are welcome in the Children’s Liturgy too! If you are interested in helping

with this ministry, please contact Drew Denton (ddenton@ihmatlanta.org).

Are You Called to be a Catechist? We always welcome new catechists to help teach at all age levels. If you would like

to help others understand and live their faith more fully, please consider one of the

following opportunities:

Adult Faith Formation (Sundays, 10:15-11:15; other times, as announced)

Middle School Youth Ministry (Wednesday nights, 7:00-8:30)

High School Youth Ministry (Sunday afternoons, 3:00-4:30)

Elementary Age--G.I.F.T. Program (Saturdays, 2:00-3:30 or Sundays, 10:15-11:15)

Contact Drew Denton or Alicia Guerrero for more information on how to get

involved.

At the 9:00 and 1:30 Masses this weekend, we call forward two special groups of people: those who wish to join the

order of catechumens, and those who wish to be recognized as candidates. Catechumens are the adults and older

children who desire to be baptized and fully initiated into the Church this Easter. Candidates are those adults and older

children who are already united with us by baptism—either in the Catholic Church or in other Christian churches—but

now wish to come into full communion with the Church, receiving the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

These catechumens and candidates have come to us by many different paths, from a variety of different backgrounds.

We thank God for leading them this far by faith, and we ask that he will continue to guide them along their journey.

Please welcome them, pray for them, and help them learn the Catholic way of life. May we all follow their example in

choosing to accept the cross of Christ.

Today’s second collection is a combination of

three national second collections; World Mis-

sions, the Church in Latin America, and the

Church in Central and Eastern Europe. We are

called to this Eucharistic celebration – along

with Catholics in every parish, chapel and

church throughout the world – to recommit

ourselves to the call we heard at Baptism, to

share our faith, to be missionaries.

Let us pray at this Mass for all who long to

hear the hope-filled, life-giving message of

Jesus’ love and salvation. Let us offer generous

financial help in support of the service of

priests, religious and lay catechists throughout

the world.

Please be extra generous as this collection will

be divided between three very important needs.

“All This I Do For the Sake of the Gospel”

We have reached our goal in pledges for the 2015 Archbishop’s Annual

Appeal! But we really should be achieving TWICE our goal each year,

since AAA funds received over and above our goal return to us at IHM

without any Archdiocesan assessment! Our gifts help the charitable

works of the Archdiocese AND they help our parish. If you have not

already made a pledge to the 2015 AAA, please visit

http://appeal.archatl.com to make your pledge today!

Thank you to all who have already pledged! Remember to look for

your monthly pledge reminders, and please do your best to honor your

pledge before the end of the year. If you are having any

difficulty whatsoever with your pledge or pledge reminders, please

contact Richard Plachta at rplachta@ihmatlanta.org or 404-636-1418,

NUEVOS FELIGRESES

Bienvenidos a nuestra comunidad; visítanos en la oficina para llenar la hoja de registro. Es muy importante que estés registrado en la parroquia.

¿Sabías que?

Hay más de 1,100 diócesis misioneras en todo el mundo.

El Domingo Mundial de las Misiones es celebrado en todas las diócesis Católicas en el mundo.

La primera colecta del Domingo Mundial de las Misiones se realizó en 1822.

El Domingo Mundial de las Misiones, organizado por la Sociedad para la Propagación de la Fe, es un día reservado anualmente para que los católicos en todo el mundo renueven su compromiso con la actividad misionera de la Iglesia mediante la oración y el sacrificio. Este año, celebraremos el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones el 18 de octubre. El Papa San Juan Pablo II describe el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones como “un día importante en la vida de la Iglesia, porque enseña cómo dar: como una ofrenda hecha a Dios, en la celebración eucarística y para todas las misiones del mundo” (Redemptoris Missio, 81).

La pasión del misionero es el Evangelio. San Pablo podía afirmar: «¡Ay de mí si no anuncio el Evangelio!» (1 Cor 9,16). El Evangelio es fuente de alegría, de liberación y de salvación para todos los hombres. La Iglesia es consciente de este don, por lo tanto, no se cansa de proclamar sin cesar a todos «lo que existía desde el principio, lo que hemos oído, lo que hemos visto con nuestros propios ojos» (1 Jn 1,1). La misión de los servidores de la Palabra -obispos, sacerdotes, religiosos y laico- es la de poner a todos, sin excepción, en una relación personal con Cristo. En el inmenso campo de la acción misionera de la Iglesia, todo bautizado está llamado a vivir lo mejor posible su compromiso, según su situación personal. Una respuesta generosa a esta vocación universal la pueden ofrecer los consagrados y las consagradas, a través de una intensa vida de oración y de unión con el Señor y con su sacrificio redentor.

17 Y 18 DE OCTUBRE I Lectura: Isaías 53:10-11 II Lectura: Hebreos 4:14-16 Evangelio: Marcos 10:35-45

24 y 25 DE OCTUBRE I Lectura: Jeremías 31:7-9 II Lectura: Hebreos 5:1-6 Evangelio: Marcos 10:46-52

La segunda colecta de hoy será una combinación de tres colectas para: las misiones mundiales, la Iglesia en Latinoamérica y la Iglesia en Euro-pa Central y Oriental. Somos llama-dos a esta celebración Eucarística para renovar la llamada que oímos en el Bautismo de compartir nues-tra fe y de ser misioneros.

OCTUBRE, MES DEL ROSARIO MISIONERO Y DE LAS MISIONES El Rosario Misionero es una forma de oración que toma como base al Rosario tradicional, en la cual, por intercesión de María, se pide al Padre por las intenciones y necesidades de todo el mundo. Es una oración mariana universal y misionera, que consiste en rezar los cinco misterios de cada día teniendo presentes los cinco continentes del mundo, pensando en la situación concreta de cada continente desde el punto de vista de la evangelización y de la presencia cristiana, y orando por los misioneros y misioneras, por todos los agentes de la evangelización, y por todos los que aún no conocen la Buena Nueva de la salvación, para que se abran a la luz del Evangelio. Está estructurado, al igual que el Rosario tradicional en cinco misterios, en cada uno de los cuales se pone como intención a uno de los cinco continentes. Las cinco decenas tienen sendos colores, que representan a cada uno de los continentes desde el punto de vista misional, y recuerdan al que reza, la intención misional de cada decena. De esta manera, al terminar de rezarlo, se habrá abrazado con la oración a los hombres y mujeres de todo el mundo.

4° Misterio: OCEANÍA. El color azul nos habla de Oceanía, con sus miles de islas esparcidas en las azules aguas del Océano Pacífico. 5° Misterio: ASIA. El color amarillo nos trae a la memoria el Asia, poblado en gran parte por razas de este color.

1° Misterio: AFRICA. El color verde, nos recuerda las verdes selvas habitadas por nuestros hermanos africanos. 2° Misterio: AMÉRICA. El color rojo, simboliza la sangre derramada por los mártires que dieron su vida durante la evangelización de este continente. 3° Misterio: EUROPA. El color blanco, nos recuerda a la raza aria, originaria de este continente y al color de las vestiduras del Papa, que también tiene en él su sede.
