Feed. Clothe. House. Heal.
Today as we celebrate Pentecost, Jesus says to his disciples: “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” Last month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul brought the love and care of Jesus to the poor by assisting 12 families, providing food, and financial aid for housing and utilities.

Bring your family’s favorite dish for our potluck feast, and we’ll take care of the desserts and drinks. Expect music, games, laughter, and plenty of fun for kids and adults alike. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate a decade of faith, friendship, and family. Come be part of the joy! All families are welcome to attend! Hope to see you there. For questions email us at: youngfamilies@saintlaw.org
Nursery Needs
We are in urgent need of additional adult volunteers for the 10am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm Masses. We are asking more mothers and fathers to consider stepping forward to help once a month. Even one hour of your time makes a real difference. When you volunteer, you give one of our current volunteers the gift of an hour to spend with their own family. Together, we can ensure that our nursery remains a safe, welcoming place for the children of our parish. Call Darleine in the parish office for more information.
A Lasting Tribute of Faith and Love
Leave a lasting legacy in our parish community by purchasing a commemorative brick to be placed in our courtyard. Bricks may be inscribed in honor of a loved one, in memory of someone special, or to recognize a family, ministry, or group. This is a meaningful way to celebrate the faith, remember those who have touched our lives, and become a permanent part of our parish home.
For more information on pricing, inscription guidelines, and ordering, please visit

Change for Life/ Baby Bottle Campaign
Thank you for your immense support of our Baby Bottle Campaign this past Mother's Day. It was so successful that we ran out of physical baby bottles. For those who were unable to take a bottle home, you can still donate online here.
For those who took home a physical bottle, please return the Baby Bottle on Father's Day weekend filled with your cash (or check) donations.
Your participation, collecting change and sharing Georgia Wellness, directly impacts the lives of the moms and families they serve.
