Stewards In Action: Patrice Hodges

Patrice HodgesSharing Their Gifts of Time and Talent

Patrice Hodges

Parishioner Since July 1995

How do you share your time and talents?
I contribute to the work of the liturgy committee. I am also a Eucharistic Minister.

What got you started?
When I was a young mother in Chicago, I worked on the liturgy team in my parish as a way of enhancing my faith experience. When I came to Atlanta, I wanted to continue this work.

Why do you continue?
Working with the liturgy is one of my favorite things. It is my way of growing in my faith.

~ Favorite Moment ~
The families lighting the Advent wreath last year, and getting to help decorate the church for Christmas.

~ Quote ~
“Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground. “
Pope Paul VI, November 15, 1964
 

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.
