ADOPT A FLOWER PLANTER - ST. ROSE OF
LIMA GARDEN COMMITTEE
We are continually seeking to beautify our church
grounds, and the St. Rose of Lima Garden Ministry takes the lead in making this
happen. The ministry currently has available 7 flower planters along the
walkway between the church and parish center building which we ask individuals or organization to
"adopt." By adopting a flower planter your name will be displayed as
having sponsoring the planting placed in the planter. Each planter
costs between $60.00 and $100.00 for a year. If you are interested in adopting a planter
please contact Jenifer Burns through the parish office.
Click here to see who currently has
sponsored the various flower planters. Future flower planters will be
made available in 2015 for sponsorship by individuals or organizations.

Beginning in 2011 our parish is challenging our membership to
live the W.A.R.M. principles of Christian Stewardship.
The W.A.R.M. principles are; W = Welcome everyone,
whether they are new or returning visitors and every member;
A = Ask the name of the person you talking to, and introduce
yourself to that person; R = Recognize the needs of the
people who are around you - you may be their only source of
help; an M = Make your Christian love visible all the
time. Be willing to grow as a disciple of our Lord Jesus,
Christ. |

PROMOTE A VOCATION TO THE CHURCH! On the last Sunday in October in dioceses and archdioceses throughout
the United States, a national recognition day to honor our Catholic
priests called Priesthood Sunday is being sponsored by the
United States Council of Serra International, a Catholic lay
organization whose ministry promotes and affirms vocations to the
priesthood and religious life. Along with
Serra International,
other mainstream Catholic organizations are also being asked to promote
Priesthood Sunday in the United States. The Archdiocese of
Atlanta encourages the parish to join in this national day of
appreciation and recognition for our beloved priests. It is a day to
reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the
Church as a central one. For more information go to:
