The mission of  SJN Career Ministry is to provide a support group, networking opportunities, job search resources, and job leads for members and non-members of the church community who are unemployed, under-employed or returning to the work place. It is comprised of dedicated, focused and results oriented volunteers with a common goal of providing a positive environment, spiritual enrichment, motivation and inspiration to the job search process.

The purpose of the Charismatic Prayer Group is to meet weekly for prayer and praise, teaching and reflections, sharing and fellowship. We also pray for any person who needs prayer this evening. The Charismatic Renewal is an evangelization movement to help people discover that personal relationship with God, and to experience the gifts and outpouring of the Holy Spirit in their lives. We do this by putting on Life in the Spirit Seminars almost every year, and sponsor Healing Masses occasionally for the parishioners so that they may experience a special touch of love from the Lord. Contact person, Anne Feaster: 770-921-1634.

Nuestro ministerio fue formado en el año del 2008.
Nuestra primera reunión se realizó el 10 de enero del mismo año y nuestra primera participación como coro la iniciamos el 20 de enero. A partir de ese momento hemos tenido la oportunidad de alabar al Señor cantándole, con el apoyo incondicional del padre Armando y con su orientación espiritual hemos podido seguir adelante. Para nosotros es muy importante la participación musical en la misa y por tanto le ponemos todas las ganas para que nuestros cantos sean del agrado del Señor y con ello la celebración tenga lo que necesita musicalmente. El coro EMMANUEL se ha comprometido a participar en lo que nos sea posible para nuestra comunidad de SJN. Damos gracias a Dios por el gran don de cantar y con ello le alabamos cantando.

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.

For more information, please contact .
