Annual Appeal
The Archbishop’s Annual Appeal is a unified appeal conducted each year in
parishes and missions throughout the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Although the
Appeal seeks to raise dollars, the Appeal is not only about money. It also provides a time to reflect on the investment of one’s time and God-given talents.
The money that individuals give provides programs, ministries, and services
that aid the Church throughout north and central Georgia. As Catholics, we are
sent forth to carry the light of Christ into the world and to transform it. Your gifts
to your parish and to the Archdiocese help to carry out this work. The money
raised by the Appeal provides the means to teach, to heal, and to serve.
La Campana Annual del Arzobispo es una campana que se realiza conjuntamente cada año en las parroquias y misiones a lo largo de la Arquidiocesis de
Atlanta. Aunque la Campana busca recaudar dinero, ese no es su unico objetivo, tambien es una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre como invertimos nuestro
tiempo y los talentos que Dios nos dio.
El dinero que las personas donan prove programas, ministerios y servicios que
ayudan a la Iglesia a lo largo del norte y centro de Georgia. Como catolocos
debemos llevar la luz de Cristo al mundo y transformarla.
Las donaciones a su parroquia y a la Arquidiocesis ayudan a llevar a cabo esta
labor. El dinero recaudado por la campana proporciona los medios para ensenar, sanar y servir.
Contribution Statements for Scared Heart will be available for pick up
after mass this weekend. After the weekend, statements may be picked
up at the church office Monday—Friday 9:30-12:30 pm. Thank you

Dan has worked to integrate Scripture as well as the Franciscan vision into his

master/parish mission director throughout North America for his entire priestly
life.
Some of Dan’s best known retreats have become published as popular CD/
