Welcome Jubilee Pilgrims of Hope!

A jubilee year, also known as a “Holy Year,” is a special year in the church’s life currently celebrated every 25 years. The most recent ordinary jubilee was in 2000, with Pope Francis calling for an Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy in 2015-2016. Jubilee years have been held regularly in the Catholic church since 1300, but they trace their roots to the Jewish tradition of marking a jubilee year every 50 years. According to the Vatican website for the jubilee, these years in Jewish history were “intended to be marked as a time to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation, and involved the forgiveness of debts, the return of misappropriated land, and a fallow period for the fields.”.

Archbishop Hartmayer has designated Mary Our Queen Catholic Church in Peachtree Corners as the Archdiocese of Atlanta’s main pilgrimage site. The pilgrimage will start on Sunday, February 2, 2025, on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and end on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, on the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord.

Come to the Table Ministry

Come to the Table

Come to the Table is a chance to get to know one another better by sharing a meal. It is a way for the adult members of our church to meet other people in the church in an informal home setting.

How it works:

For each round of Come to the Table, groups are formed combining couples and singles for a meal at a host’s home. Group sizes are usually eight but can be 6 or 10 depending on what the hosts can accommodate. This size ensures that the group is large enough to meet new people and small enough for all to be involved in conversation.

Hosts will contact the people assigned to their group to arrange a date that works for all starting in April. Get togethers will be scheduled every other month.

Once a date is established, participants agree on what they will bring to the dinner. These dinners are not intended to be gourmet events, they are gatherings to get to know one another better so any level of culinary expertise is welcome!

How to get involved:

Getting involved is as easy as providing some simple information on the form below including whether you are willing to host. You can join as a single, a couple or a couple of friends who enjoy spending time together. Non-Catholic spouses or friends are absolutely a welcome part of these dinners.

Please join us for our fun gatherings by submitting the form below.

Come to the Table is a ministry that encourages and grows a sense of community in our church. Groups meet to share a meal in home settings. A Come to the Table host will contact you after establishing the dinner groups. You may make your host aware of any food allergies, but please be prepared to bring a food item(s) you can eat if asked. This will minimize their difficulty in getting the group together. While the food and drink are always great, getting to know one another matters most.
