THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS
My friends in Christ,
Yesterday, the bishops of the Archdiocese of Atlanta and the Diocese of Savannah issued a letter explaining their plan to keep church buildings closed through May. You can read it here.
This week, we celebrate National Volunteer Week. I am so thankful for all of the ways that you commit your time, talent, and treasure through the Cathedral community. Especially in these uncertain times, the work you do behind-the-scenes for your neighbor and for the Lord continues to bear fruit.
There are many needs in the community at the moment, particularly regarding food shortages. Please consider a gift to one of the projects below seeking to serve the needs of our community.
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mc
