St. Brendan’s Night with Gwinnett Gladiators
Next Weekend - The Presentation of the
Lord
Blessing of Candles
Next Sunday, the Church celebrates the feast
of the Presentation of the Lord, which occurs
forty days after the birth of Jesus and is also
known as Candlemas day. Our weekend
liturgies will include a blessing and procession
of candles. You may wish to bring a candle
from home, perhaps one that you will use this
coming year as part of a personal devotion
space or home altar, and present the candle for
blessing at Mass. As we return home with our
candles, we are reminded that the light of our
blessed candles symbolizes Christ, who is the
Light of the World. It also symbolizes the infant
Savior, who entered into the temple with Mary
and Joseph. God, our Father, who is the
source of all light, revealed to Simeon the light
of revelation to the nations. It symbolizes also
that we are to always bring that light of Christ
we received at our own baptism to those who
live in darkness.

Studies show that 1 in 3 women have had an abortion. The Project Rachel
program is intended to reach out to men and women experiencing grief
from the loss of a child by abortion, and to offer them reconciliation and
healing. It is based on the Catholic Church's 26 years of experience
counseling men and women who have come to their Project Rachel
programs. Project Rachel operates as a network of priests, therapists,
counselors, and spiritual directors, all trained to provide compassionate
one-on-one spiritual and psychological care for those who are suffering
because of an abortion. Project Rachel provides confidential and skilled
help to each individual who comes to the ministry. In the Archdiocese of
Atlanta, the Project Rachel program includes referrals to PATH (Post
Abortion Treatment and Healing), a healing ministry that offers ongoing
support groups and retreats. For more information: (404) 920-7365,

Wishing Phil Barreca a Fond Farewell!
It is with sincere gratitude, mixed with a bit of
sadness, that we must bid a fond farewell to our
Director of Music & Liturgy, Mr. Phil Barreca. For
more than 7 years, Phil has led our parish in song,
prayer and devotion through his organization and
planning of our many liturgical celebrations. His
love of Liturgy and his many musical talents have
graced our parish with exemplary opportunities
for worship. Throughout the Diocese and beyond,
Phil has been “in demand” for his musical abilities, often stepping in as a
guest musician at weddings, funerals and Diocesan events, even
performing with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus! We have truly
been fortunate to have him serve in this role at St. Brendan’s for so long.
This February, Phil will begin his new role in the Archdiocese, as Director
of Music and Organist at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Roswell, GA. His
final day here at St. Brendan will be January 31. Please join our clergy and
staff in wishing Phil a fond farewell – vaya con Dios!
