We recently learned that Archbishop Gregory has assigned Father Bill Hao as
parochial vicar at St. Brigid Catholic Church in Johns Creek, effective July 1. From
that new assignment he will continue his leadership of the Holy Name of Jesus
Chinese Catholic Mission as its first administrator.
We will send him to his new assignment with a reception in his honor on Saturday,
June 18, 5:00-7:00 p.m., in the Historic Church. Please come help us offer Father Bill
our gratitude and affection.

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET made your pledge to the 2016 AAA, please do so soon.
To make your pledge online, simply go to http://appeal.archatl.com. Please be sure to
choose IHM as your designated parish!
This weekend’s second collection will go
to Mustard Seed Communities.
Next weekend’s second collection will
also go to our IHM Debt Reduction Fund.
All contributions to this fund will go toward accelerating the retirement of our
parish debt. Thank you for your generosity!
Why do Retirement accounts make good gifts to the parish?
IRAs, 401Ks and other retirement accounts are taxable to heirs
unless the heir is a charity. Taxes on these funds can be up to 60%
or more. It is better to leave insurance policies to children because
they go directly to the child at death with no taxes due. If you name
the parish endowment as the beneficiary or one of the beneficiaries
on your retirement account, you will not need to pay taxes on that
portion of the distribution. For more information about retirement
accounts as charitable gifts, please go to the Catholic Foundation
website on planned giving: www.cfngalegacy.com or contact Juliet
Greco at jgreco@cfnga.org or 404-497-9440.

*****
100% OF THE FUNDS r eceived over
our parish goal will return to us here at
IHM without any assessment from the Archdiocese. That means that every dollar
given to the AAA is worth about $1.30 in money contributed to the Sunday offertory!
Your gift helps the Archdiocese and our parish!

SVDP PARISHIONER
MATCHING DONATION
As a result of the parishioner pledge to match
donations up to $7,500 made in March, IHM
SVdP collected $10,450.09! This amount
represents about a 40% increase over our normal collection. AND, the April collection
was also fantastic since our benefactor has
completed the $7500 match. The IHM SVdP
Conference thanks you for your generosity in
helping us to achieve our mission: Respecting
the dignity of each person, St. Vincent de Paul
Georgia brings hope and help to those in need
so they may achieve stability and move toward self-sufficiency.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
AND SPORTING EVENTS
Traffickers are opportunistic hunters and see
major sporting events, and the thousands of
people who flock to sports venues, as an
opportunity for huge profits with little risk of
penalty or punishment. Human trafficking is a
business, and traffickers will take advantage
of what they perceive to be good business
opportunities – including national and international sporting events. Please visit the U.S.
Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking at
http://www. sistersagainsttrafficking.org.
2016 EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS
June 3-4
Each year the Eucharistic Congress brings
together Catholics from across the Archdiocese and the country to celebrate the visible,
living presence of Jesus. Archbishop Gregory,
along with Bishop Talley and Bishop Zarama, ask that you join them for this year’s Eucharistic Congress at the Georgia International
Convention Center, June 3 and 4.
The theme of the 2016 Eucharistic Congress
comes from the Gospel of Luke 6:36 “Be
Merciful Just as Your Father is Merciful.”
Come join us and take this opportunity to be
renewed by God’s mercy and feel the real
presence of Christ through the Eucharist. Allow Him to open your heart and extend your
mercy to others while you reconnect with
friends, get inspired by wonderful testimonials, and spend quiet time in prayer throughout
this powerful weekend!

CONSECRATION TO JESUS THROUGH MARY
May 2-June 3
Do you have a special devotion to Mary?
As we are called to turn towards Jesus Christ and enter into a deeper relationship with Him, consider consecrating yourself to Jesus Christ through Mary.
The Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary by St. Louis-Marie de Monfort
involves a 33-day preparation period, which consists of daily readings and
prayers, and culminates with a prayer of consecration on a Marian feast day.
Both the preparation and the prayer of consecration can be done
individually. Here at IHM, a group of parishioners will begin the 33-day
devotion individually on May 2 and will get together as a group to do the prayer
of consecration on the feast day of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on June 4
after the 8:30 a.m. Mass. Come and join us!
If you have any questions regarding this devotion or if you would like to receive
a copy of the complete packet of readings and prayers, please contact Fr. Bill at
bhao@ihmatlanta.org or call 404-636-1418, ext. 242.
