“Reaching New Heights: Faith & Light’s Amazing VBS Experience!”

We are thrilled to share with you an amazing article about our incredible Faith & Light members who took part in this past weekend’s VBS* at St. Peter Chanel! Our group had an absolute blast serving together and making a difference in the lives of the children.

Please take a moment to read the article and be inspired by the amazing work! We are truly blessed to be a part of this wonderful community!

Raise the Roof for Habitat

During the weekend of August 24/25, Habitat for Humanity sponsors their “Raise the Roof” Event. 

The outdoor plaza will be filled with 2 x 4 studs that will be used for the construction of the exterior and interior walls of the Catholic Coalition’s Habitat house.  All parishioners are invited to use a Sharpie to sign your name on the wood studs: write a positive message, a line from Scripture, or pen a few words of encouragement to the volunteers who will use these studs to build the house.  Besides signing the studs with colorful messages, you can make a donation towards the Coalition build, get a free Habitat wristband, learn about Habitat’s mission and sign up to volunteer for any of the 9 Saturdays that it takes to construct the home.  Construction starts on Saturday, September 7th; for additional info, contact Mike Meehan at (404) 374-9074, or Cadmast54@gmail.com

Levanta un techo para el hábitat

Durante el fin de semana del 24 y 25 de Agosto, Hábitat para la Humanidad patrocina su evento “Raise the Roof”.  La plaza al aire libre se llenará con tablones de madera de 2 x 4 que se utilizarán para la construcción de las paredes exteriores e interiores de la casa Hábitat de la Coalición Católica. Todos los feligreses están invitados a usar un sharpie para firmar su nombre en los tablones de madera. Además de firmar los tablones con mensajes coloridos, puedes hacer una donación para la construcción de la Coalición, obtener una pulsera de Hábitat gratis, aprender sobre la misión de Hábitat e inscribirte como voluntario para cualquiera de los 9 sábados que se necesitan para construir la casa. La construcción comienza el Sábado 7 de Septiembre.

Volunteers to Make Meals for Priests

Transfiguration would like to give back to the priests who give back so much to our parish home. Starting with a home cooked meal (or delicious take out dinner ) to nourish those who nourish us. 

Father Eric and Father Rafael extend their thanks to all of you who have provided meals for them over the past several months. Let us continue to show our gratitude to them by providing a meal one day a week on Tuesdays. 

Please consider dropping off a meal for Father Eric, Father Rafael, and Father Vic ( Priest in Residence). They are so appreciative when they receive a home cooked meal once a week. 
Bring your meal to the Parish Office TUESDAY between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
The reception volunteers or office staff will store the meals in the Staff Refrigerator for the priests. 

There are a few requests from them: 

*Please use Disposable Containers marked “For Priests” (So we don’t burden them with returning our dishes – they will recycle as needed) 
*Prepare a meal with NO Raw Onion or Coconut. Keep spicy to the mild side. 
*Include heating instructions when needed. (or recipes if you’d like to share)
*Say a special prayer for them the nights you serve your meal. 

Sign up as an individual, small group or family to show your support.

St. Vincent de Paul Society

St Vincent de Paul Atlanta
Many Are Called…by St. Vincent dePaul

In fact, over 5,000 current volunteers have heard the call to become Vincentians in the state of Georgia! The first St. Vincent dePaul Conference in our state was established 120 years ago in 1903, by a small group of concerned parishioners at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta. Today the number of Conferences has grown to over 70 in Georgia, and our Transfiguration Conference is among the most active (a “Conference” is a group that serves a particular neighborhood area or zip code, usually the territory covered by the Conference’s affiliated parish). Check out www.svdpgeorgia.org and learn about the oldest, largest and most trusted state-wide social services safety net organization in Georgia!

And then, when you’re inspired to become a part of it all, come to our next meeting on, Monday, April 22 at 7 p.m. in the Adult Lounge.
