Cathy Marchman has seen many changes take place at St. Patrick’s. She has served as Parish Bookkeeper for 22 and 1/2 years; working for 6 Pastors and a countless number of parochial Vicars. Her dedication and work ethic have been an exemplary model for all employees. While our appreciation and admiration runs deep, it was with sorrow that we said goodbye to Cathy at the end of 2011.
She will begin a new chapter in her life as a Retired person. We wish her every happiness with time spent with family, new hobbies, and new experiences.
We are very fortunate to have found another very capable person to assume Cathy’s duties and responsibilities as Bookkeeper for St. Patrick’s. Please welcome Lisa Peterson to our community. Lisa comes to us with an extensive background in bookkeeping, accounting, and H.R. duties. She will be a welcome addition to our staff.
Sunday, January 1, 2012, New Year’s Day we will follow our Regular Mass schedule.
We have contracted Guide Book Publishing to publish a Guide Book and Directory for our parish. It will be updated and delivered directly to your homes annually. This book will be the “Who, What, Where, Why, and How” of our Church. The book is being provided at no cost to the Parish. Local businesses are being solicited to advertise in the book. Here is your chance to update your record for the Guide Book. It is time to update our database with any changes, additions, or deletions that may have occurred in your family over the last year. Have you changed your phone number? Have you moved? Do you want your record published in the Book?
Please let us know now so that the information in the Guide Book is correct. Contact Cheryl Stewart at 770-448-2028, ext. 115.

Today, October 30, in dioceses and archdioceses throughout the United States, we celebrate Priesthood Sunday. Please be sure to take a moment to tell our Priests “thank you” for all of their hard work, dedication, guidance, and love in building up the Body of Christ at St. Patrick’s.
Also, remember them in your prayers and pray for all of our Seminarians, as well as those who may be discerning God’s call to the priesthood.
Thank you Father Refugio, Father Cyril, and Father Henry!!
