Community Celebrated!

What a celebration of our community!  Last weekend we came together for our Parish Festival.  I would like to thank Teddie Swain and the entire Festival Committee for their great ideas and the hard work of pulling this huge event together for our parish.  Beginning with the Dinner Dance on Friday evening through Saturday’s activities there was something for everyone to enjoy.  From the great turnout and the positive feedback I’ve received I am looking forward for this becoming an annual event for us at St. John Neumann.
 
November is a time when we remember those who came before us in faith with All Saints and All Souls Days and it is a time set aside to celebrate Thanksgiving Day and reflect on the goodness in our lives.  “Celebrating Community” as our theme for the festival highlights my dream for our parish.  Having opportunities to bring your children for fun and games, activities for adults as well as ways for many to show off their gifts and talents within our community warms my heart.

Ministry Spotlight

Cursillo/Ultreya

Coordinators:  Denis and Leanne Wright at 678-296-1486 ;; ; wrightones

Cursillo seeks to reveal God’s work in each of our lives and to help us to find new life in doing God’s work. The ministry begins with candidates’ participation in their first Cursillo weekend. These weekends occur twice yearly at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers. The Cursillo weekend emphasizes the fundamentals of Prayer, Study, and Action as means to walk closer with Our Lord. The goal of Cursillo is to promote leadership in the Catholic lay community through countless forms of self-giving and community involvement. Our parish Cursillo community meets monthly to renew the lessons of Cursillo at an event called Ultreya. During Ultreya, members break bread together at a pot luck dinner and follow with spiritual discussions highlighting the lessons available through Prayer, Study, and Action. In addition, many members of the Cursillo community meet weekly in small groups to keep these lessons more accessible in their daily lives.
