MǑǢǾǑ NǟǦǕǝǒǕǢ 1, 2020 This week in our Parish MON/LUN 2 TUES/MAR 3 WED/MIE 4 From Monsignor Gregory John Hartmayer, Archbishop of Atlanta Archbishop Hartmayer issued the following statement regarding the appointment of Archbishop Gregory: “I’m grateful to Pope Francis for recognizing the extraordinary contributions that Archbishop Wilton Gregory has made to the American Catholic Church since becoming a bishop 37 years ago. The entire Archdiocese of Atlanta celebrates this recognition of the archbishop’s leadership. The Catholic Church in the United States and we rejoice in the choice of the archbishop’s elevation to cardinal by Pope Francis. Being chosen as the first African American cardinal from the United States indicates the pope’s awareness of the needs and gifts of the multicultural Catholic population throughout the United States. As his successor in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, I am particularly grateful for his leadership, mentoring and fraternity. During his 15 years as Archbishop of Atlanta, Archbishop Gregory worked closely with the auxiliary bishops, priests, laity, deacons and religious in providing a Pastoral Plan for the future of the archdiocese. He worked closely with the interreli- gious leadership of the various churches in metropolitan Atlanta. An example of his servant leadership is most recently seen in his acceptance of the invitation of Pope Francis to become the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington. The cardinaldesignate is also known for his personal interest in promot- ing Catholic education throughout the archdiocese. Nationally, Archbishop Gregory is perhaps best known for his leadership United States Conference of Catholic Bishops where he played a key role in the development of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People in 2002. It is clear that the talents and accomplishments of Archbishop Gregory will be a part of his legacy as a leader not only in the United States, but also as a member of the College of Cardinals who attend to significant issues of dioceses throughout the world.” All Saints’ Day: food for thought by Pope Francis According to Pope Frances, All Saints’ Day is the feast of all of us, a holy occasion to increase our faith and hope. Moreover, this is the day when we celebrate humility as the main virtue of all saints. Here are five simple, but illuminating quotes to keep in mind while celebrating All Saints’ Day. The Solemnity of All Saints is 'our' feast not because we are good, but because the holiness of God touches our lives.
