NURSERY Ministry would serve the young families of our parish by opening a nursery on Sunday mornings between the Masses so that parents are able to attend Adult Faith Formation. We need at least two adults who have completed the Archdiocese of Atlanta Safe Environment process to give an hour of their time to help our parish grow and be a place where young parents feel welcome.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. ~ Matthew 5:4

7-week journey on Monday Evenings | August 28 to October 16, 2023 (excluding Sept. 4, Labor Day)

7 pm to 8:30 pm | The Cenacle Conference Room (upstairs in Trinity Building)

Week 1: Introduction and Overview

Week 3: Experiencing the pain of grief

Week 4: Adjusting to the environment without your loved one

Week 5: Reconciling grief with your daily life

Week 7: Moving toward closure

Believing that grief is a natural response to loss and a necessary process in adjusting to change, we endeavor to support the bereaved in their mourning. Support Groups strive to facilitate:

• Expression of Emotion and Thought about loss, including sadness, pain anxiety, anger, loneliness, guilt, relief, solation confusion or numbness.
• Challenges that often follow a loss can include: disorganization tiredness, trouble concentrating, sleep deprivation, vivid dreams and changes in appetite.

We are looking to start a group for Singles and Married Couples in their 20s/30s. This group is to help members connect socially and participate in the life, mission and work of our parish. If you are interested, please contact through the form below.

We provide Coffee and Light Breakfast options to parishioners and visitors after the 8:30AM Mass on Sundays. Our goal is to give people a chance to connect with old and new friends promoting a feeling of community and fellowship.

The Women’s Guild meets on the 2^nd Monday of each month (September to May) in the evening and is open to all women of the parish. We host a variety of service projects as well as annual events such as our  Bid n’ Buy fundraiser, our popular BUNCO night, and Stations of the Cross through Mary’s eyes. Our goal is to provide fellowship for parish women to connect, share foods & beverages, and get to know our MOQ family.

Our first meeting of the year is Monday, September 11, 2023, at 7 p.m. in St. Joseph’s Hall. All women of the parish are considered members of the Women’s Guild and are invited to attend. We will enjoy some fellowship and then plan our monthly events and meetings for October 2023 through May 2024. Please join us as we work to have a successful year for the women of our parish.

Drinks will be provided and we ask that everyone bring a snack to share.

Our ministry welcomes newcomers to the parish and acquaints them with the ministries and activities of the church.
