SVDP HANDYMAN
NATIONAL HIV TESTING DAY
If you need a handyman to help you with various small jobs around your house, you could
obtain some help by hiring a Safe Environment approved volunteer from the St. Vincent
de Paul IHM Conference to help you with
your work.
Monday, June 27
National HIV Testing Day was established as an annual observance to promote HIV testing. The theme is
“Take the Test. Take Control.”
Simply make a donation to the St. Vincent de
Paul IHM Conference in the amount of $25.00
for every hour the volunteer spends on your
job. This is a win, win, win situation: we help
you, you help the St. Vincent de Paul IHM
Conference, and the St. Vincent de Paul helps
the many people in need. So if you need
some assistance with small jobs around the
house, call 770-986-4996 and ask for Dirk.
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. HIV weakens a person’s
immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection.
No effective cure exists for HIV. Some groups of people in the United States are
more likely to get HIV than others because of many factors including their risk
behaviors and geographic location. Blacks and Latinos continue to be disproportionately affected. According to Emory University’s Center for AIDS Research
(CFAR), the South is home to 21 of the 25 metropolitan areas with both the
highest number of individuals living with HIV and newly diagnosed with HIV
infection (includes Metro Atlanta and Augusta). CDC data show that the South
lags behind the rest of the U.S. when it comes to HIV-positive people getting
the treatment they need or knowing that they are infected in the first place.
Nearly 1 in 8 people living with HIV are unaware of their status.

Are you interested in becoming
Catholic, or simply learning more
about the Catholic faith? We look
forward to meeting you, answering
your questions, and helping you
discern God’s call. Please join us for
the first of our summer “inquiry”
sessions on Wednesday, June 29,
7:00-8:00 p.m., in the lower level of
the church. Contact Drew Denton in
the parish office for more
information.
Each Thursday, Dr. Louanne Bachner
leads an informative and prayerful
discussion of the lectionary readings
for the following Sunday. The study
meets in the Lower Level at two
different times: 9:30 a.m. or 7:00 p.m.
There is no registration required and
no fee to participate. Feel free to join
the group as your schedule permits.
Eligible students will receive the sacrament of Confirmation in the spring of 2017
(exact date to be determined, once the bishops release their schedules). All
candidates for Confirmation must be baptized, practicing Catholics, in the 10th
grade or higher. They must have received at least two years of religious education
immediately prior to being confirmed, either at a Catholic school or through our
parish Life Teen youth ministry program (the 2016-2017 school year will count as
one full year). In addition, they must attend a few preparation sessions during the
2016-2017 school year and an overnight retreat just prior to Confirmation.
There will be a mandatory meeting for Confirmation candidates and their parents
on Sunday, September 25, 6:15 p.m. More details will be announced in the bulletin
and on the parish website as they become available.
For now, please mark your calendars for September 25 and make sure you are
enrolled in religious education for the 2016-2017 school year (Enroll in Life Teen
online at http://ihmatlanta.org/faith-formation-enrollment). And while you’re at it,
please consider joining the music and ministry team for the 5:00 p.m. Sunday
Mass, which will be moving in a youth-friendly direction this fall (sign up at
http://ihmatlanta.org/lifeteenband).
If you’ve just graduated from middle school, it’s already time to start making plans
for your Confirmation! Rising 9th-graders who wish to be confirmed in the spring
of their 10th-grade year must be enrolled in religious education for the 2016-2017
school year. This can take place either as part of a Catholic school curriculum or
through our parish Life Teen youth ministry program (or, for the adventurous,
both!). Enroll in Life Teen online at http://ihmatlanta.org/faith-formationenrollment. And while you’re at it, please consider joining the music and ministry
team for the 5:00 p.m. Sunday Mass, which will be moving in a youth-friendly
direction this fall (sign up at http://ihmatlanta.org/lifeteenband).
Adults who desire to be confirmed will follow a separate course of preparation.
Please contact Drew Denton in the parish office for more details.
In preparation for the 2016-2017 school year, we are also seeking additional
catechists for our faith formation programs. If you would like to help others
understand and live their faith more fully – whether young children, teenagers, or
adults – please let us know! Contact Drew Denton or Alicia Guerrero for more
information on how to get involved.
ADULT VOLUNTEERS FOR LIFE TEEN AND EDGE
This fall we will inaugurate the Life Teen (high school) and
The EDGE (middle school) ministries at IHM! We are
seeking for adults (18 years and older) to join us in this
exciting journey. Both groups will meet on Sunday evenings
right after the 5:00 p.m. Mass, from 6:15-7:30 p.m.
JUNE 26-30
Registration is closed.
MISSION POSSIBLE PARENT MEETING
Monday, June 20
We will have a (bilingual) parent-teen meeting on Monday
for all participants who have signed up for Mission
Possible. Full payments are to be made in the main office
prior to our mission trip; we will be accepting payments the
day of the meeting as well. There are a couple things to go
over and a few waiver forms to hand out; if you will not be
able to attend the meeting, please email Kathy Guerrero and
the information will be emailed to you as soon as possible.
If you have any immediate questions, please email Kathy.
ADULT CHAPERONES NEEDED!
A big part of having a successful Mission Possible, is the
help provided by the adults with transportation and
supervising work sites. Adults are NOT required to stay
overnight— the work shifts are from 8am-2pm, but once
your group is done, you may return home or better yet, stay
with us for dinner and evening activities! All chaperones
must complete the required volunteer forms and must be
background checked prior to participating. If you are 21 and
over, and would like to participate in Mission Possible this
summer, please contact Kathy Guerrero for more details.
You do not need any previous experience in youth ministry.
However, the only requirement is that all volunteers are
Safe Environment approved and have a background check
prior to becoming a volunteer. There is no age limit to
volunteer, but you must be at least a high school graduate. If
you are interested in working with the youth starting in
September, please contact Kathy Guerrero for more
information.
LIFE TEEN BAND
Calling all young musicians! Life Teen is coming soon this
fall and we are seeking teens that are interested in joining
the new Life Teen Band to play in the Sunday 5:00 p.m.
Life Teen Mass. Whether you play an instrument or sing,
this is your opportunity to come share your talents at IHM.
Other ministry positions needed for the Life Teen Mass
include: Altar Servers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy
Communion, Lectors, and Ministers of Hospitality.
To sign up, just take a minute and complete the online form
at www.ihmatlanta.org/lifeteenband. If you have any
questions, please contact Jeff Bush, Director of Liturgy &
Music at [email protected] or Kathy Guerrero, Youth
Minister at [email protected].

VIH significa virus de inmunodeficiencia humana. VIH debilita el sistema
inmunológico de la persona mediante la destrucción de células importantes que
luchan contra la enfermedad y la infección. No existe una cura eficaz para el VIH.
Algunos grupos de personas en los Estados Unidos son más propensos a contraer el
VIH que otros debido a muchos factores, incluyendo sus comportamientos de riesgo y
ubicación geográfica.
Los negros y los Latinos continúan ser desproporcionadamente afectados.
Tratamientos del VIH son muy eficaces en el control del virus, ayudan a personas que
viven con VIH a tener una vida más larga y saludable, y reducen significativamente
las posibilidades de transmitir el virus a otros. Conocer su estatus de VIH es un
primer paso crucial.
