This first church will become a residence for religious when we complete our all-purpose building. The new structure, scheduled for completion in 1982, will be built by the men of St. Paul the Apostle parish and will serve as church and parish hall until other buildings are added. Two Glenmary brothers will supervise the construction. For the present, however, the Catholic children of Cleveland are anxious to begin their afternoon together. Joining hands with Sister Joan, Sister Lene, Mark and the other teachers, they pray the Our Father as a sign of the faith they share.
Shadows begin to gather as the afternoon draws to a close.
Later this evening, Mark will rendezvous with Father Bob close to the North Carolina border at the newly dedicated church of St. Francis of Assisi in Blairsville. There they will celebrate seven o'clock Mass with the Catholic community. Here, gifts generously given by the people of God in north Georgia is their one-day annual drive nourish, renew, and expand the Body of Christ in remote rural communities. Stop in for lunch some Thursday at St. Luke's and see for yourself. Return to The Georgia Bulletin Return to Home Page of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
