The month of February is dedicated to the
Holy Family. The first two and a half weeks
of February fall within the liturgical season
of Ordinary Time, which is represented by
the liturgical color green. Green, the symbol
of hope, is the color of the sprouting seed
and arouses in the faithful the hope of
reaping the eternal harvest of heaven,
especially the hope of a glorious
resurrection. The remaining days of
February are the beginning of Lent. The
liturgical color changes to purple — a
symbol of penance, mortification and the
sorrow of a contrite heart.
This Sunday, February 1, is the Presentation
of the Lord. This feast is a festival of light. The procession, in which the
blessed candles are carried by clergy and faithful, recalls by its symbolism the
manifestation of Christ, the Light of the world, received in the temple. "A light
to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel."

Please continue to pray for Brad, Stephen and all the

PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
FEBRUARY 1, 2015
Stewardship of Treasure
Dear Parishioners,
How shall I repay the Lord for his goodness to me?” Psalm 116
In today’s Old Testament passage, Moses speaks of another prophet God will raise from
among the Israelites. In St. Mark’s Gospel, that prophecy is fulfilled in Christ Jesus, who
speaks, heals, and casts out evil spirits with authority in the synagogue at Capernaum. As
faithful stewards, we acknowledge Christ as the Great Prophet and also the popes and others
of our time who continue to speak out against moral relativism and injustices present in our
day.
SVDP Collection This Weekend
This weekend, the monthly St. Vincent de Paul collection will be held after Mass.
Every dollar you donate goes to the members of our local community to help pay

My very grateful thanks to
all at CTK who have made
my stay here enriching and
memorable. I regret having
to leave you, for I will miss
the unique mix of people at
the Cathedral, and working
with CTK staff. Nonetheless
I leave knowing that God
will open new doors for me,
and help me find other ways
to continue my priestly
ministry. Pope Francis is
right in saying: “Our God is
a God of perpetual
surprises!”
God Bless you all,
Father John Kieran

The better we understand Jesus, the better we understand ourselves. But who
was Jesus, this itinerant preacher whom many called the Messiah? In Priest,
Prophet, King, you’ll discover Jesus as the Anointed One–the ultimate priest,
prophet, and king foreshadowed throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Using
biblical insights and engaging stories, Father Barron affirms that we see Jesus
most clearly through the lens of the Old Testament.
Through this series of 6 DVD’s with Fr. Barron, you will better understand
Jesus, become more familiar with Scripture, and realize your own priestly, prophetic, and kingly mission. All parishioners are invited to join us!

Are You Experiencing a Nagging ‘Chill’ in Your Life?
Our Stephen Ministers Can Help!
The chilly weather we've had recently can be symbolic of what can sometimes
happen in life. A crisis hits and we feel like we're buried beneath a drift of snow.
Relationships can become "frigid," or we can feel "frozen" by life circumstances.
We can wonder, "Is God even there?" Stephen Ministers are trained to provide
confidential Christian care, giving you the emotional and spiritual support you
need to make it through a "winter" in your life. Our Stephen Ministers are ready
to care for you. To learn more about how a Stephen Minister can help you or
someone you know, contact Dottie O’Connor, 404-233-2675.

grief process, have the opportunity to express their experiences, and to explore
with others who are also grieving the loss of a loved one. This 10-week series will

memories of their loved one. This series uses “The New Day Journal: A Journey
from Grief to Healing” by Mauryeen O’Brien. The workbook cost $10.50 and can

7pm in the Media Center in Christ the King School.

CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE KING
YOUR CATHEDRAL
PARISH FAMILY
YOUR LEGACY
In our earliest years, visionary
parishioners utilized planned giving
as a way to fulfill their hopes and
dreams for the Cathedral. For
example, one of our founding
parishioners established a charitable
trust in her will, naming the
Cathedral as beneficiary. The gift was
small at first but has grown
significantly over the decades
continuing to bless the Cathedral day
after day.
We invite you to consider a planned
gift to our Cathedral Fund as your
long term legacy. Your gift will help
support special projects and ministry
needs beyond our annual operating
expenses. A simple provision in your
will or a designation from a
retirement plan can create your
future gift .You can designate a
particular project or ministry or your
funds can be used for the general
needs of the Cathedral.
We are ready to work with you and
your advisors to develop a gift plan
that best suits your goals and
objectives.
For a private discussion of planned
giving opportunities, please contact

esperanza de la resurrección. Los demás días de Febrero corresponden al inicio
dela Cuaresma. El color litúrgico cambia a morado - el color de la penitencia,
mortificación y la pena de un corazón arrepentido.
El Domingo 1 de Febrero, celebramos la Presentación del Señor. Esta fiesta es un
festival de luz. La procesión, en la cual las velas bendecidas son llevadas por los
sacerdotes y los fieles, recuerdan con su simbolismo la manifestación de Cristo, la
Luz del Mundo, recibido en el tempo. “Luz que alumbra a las naciones y gloria de
tu pueblo, Israel.”
HASTA LUEGO DEL PADRE JOHN KIERAN
Queridas familias de la Catedral,
Mi gran agradecimiento a todos en Cristo Rey que han hecho mi estadía en esta
parroquia tan enriquecedora y memorable. Me apena mucho dejarlos, pues
extrañaré la mezcla única de personas en la Catedral, y trabajar con el staff de la
Catedral.
Sin embargo, me voy sabiendo que Dios abrirá nuevas puertas para mí, y me
ayudará a encontrar otras maneras de continuar con mi ministerio sacerdotal. El
Papa Francisco tiene razón al decir “¡Nuestro Dios en un Dios de perpetuas
sorpresas!”
Que Dios los bendiga a todos,
Padre John Kieran
Se buscan mujeres
Mujeres de Atlanta: ¡Nuestros sacerdotes las necesitan! Esta es nuestra
oportunidad para convertirnos en madres espirituales de uno de nuestros
sacerdotes como parte de un nuevo programa en Atlanta que se llama “El
Cíngulo”. El Cíngulo es un grupo de mujeres que han acordado adoptar
espiritualmente un sacerdote cada una y convertirse en su madre espiritual.
Ofrecemos oraciones diarias, trabajos, sufrimientos, horas de adoración y Misas
por su santidad y su bienestar. Todas las mujeres que estén interesadas en
convertirse en “madres espirituales” están invitadas a participar de una reunión de
discernimiento el Jueves 19 de Febrero en la Iglesia de St. Catherine de Sienna,
1618 Ben King Road, Kennesaw a las 7 pm. La jornada incluye una sesión
informativa, seguida por la Misa y la ceremonia de compromiso en la iglesia. Si
está interesada en participar y desea tener más información, por favor contacte a
Marta Duran al 404-210-7216 o [email protected]

ADMINISTRACIÓN DE LOS BIENES DE DIOS
¿Cómo podré pagar al Señor todo el bien que me ha hecho? Salmo 116
En el pasaje de hoy del Antiguo Testamento, Moisés habla de otro profeta de Dios
enviará a los Israelitas. En el Evangelio de San Marcos, esta profecía se cumple en
Jesús, quien habla, cura y expulsa los malos espíritus con autoridad en la sinagoga
de Cafarnaum. Como administradores fieles, reconocemos a Cristo como el Gran
Profeta, y también a los Papas y otros en nuestro tiempo que continúan alzando
su voz contra las injusticias de estos días.

Dear Friends in Christ,
On behalf of Archbishop Wilton Gregory, the Clergy and

Our mission statement is to “Know, Love and Serve as Jesus

you are new, I hope and pray that you will join us and be
part of the community of Christ the King. If you are passing
through or visiting the city of Atlanta, I hope you enjoy your
worship experience and please visit us again.
If you would like to know more about our parish, you can

May we, this day and all the days of our lives, know, love
and serve as Jesus did.
