“Today our Lord Jesus Christ

St. Augustine
Christ’s Ascension presents us with this reminder — that we are called to lives of
discipleship and stewardship, but that sometimes being able to fulfill that requires
patience and determination. Nevertheless, Christ’s Ascension represents a fulfillment
that each of us must realize and recognize.

5th Grade Gardeners
In support of this year’s oratorical topic,
“Hunger in America,” fifth grade decided to
break out their green thumbs. Since the
idea of community gardens was mentioned
in a few speeches, the fifth grade grew
some different vegetables in the class,
including spinach, kale, green beans,
cucumbers, and peas. Each student will
take their pods back home, where they will
be used to start a vegetable garden.
Oratorical Contest
Congratulations to Elizabeth Steele,
the winner of the 2016 CKS
Oratorical Competition. This year’s
topic was “Hunger in America,” and
Elizabeth presented a compelling
speech to the school community and
wowed the judges! She competed in
the Archdiocesan Semi-final round
and while not moving on to the
finals, she did an excellent job! Way
to go Elizabeth!

May: Human Trafficking at Sporting Events
Traffickers are opportunistic hunters and see major sporting events, and the
thousands of people who flock to sports venues, as an opportunity for huge profits
with little risk of penalty or punishment. Human trafficking is a business, and
traffickers will take advantage of what they perceive to be good business opportunities
including national and international sporting events. For more information, please

MUST Summer Lunch Program
From August to May, thousands of children all over the Atlanta metro area receive a
breakfast and lunch at school free or at a reduced cost. For many, these meals help to
supplement what their families’ purchase or receive via the SNAP program (aka food
stamps). However for many children, summer vacation begins a period of food
insecurity, a time when they are not certain when they will receive a meal because
their primary food resource, the school cafeteria, is closed.

7TH SUNDAY OF EASTER
MAY 8, 2016
Totally Catholic
Fr. Jose Kochuparampil
WHAT NEXT FOR THE ‘GENERATION Z’
As members of a wonderful faith family, we, at Christ the King Cathedral parish, should
take pride in knowing that 146 of our youngsters were confirmed in their faith after a two
-year long intense faith formation program. They are sealed with the gifts of the Holy
Spirit by which they became “Catholic adults” (legally not, though). This fifteen to sixteen
year-age group of boys and girls are entitled to profess, proclaim, promote and propagate
their faith by heroically living/practicing their faith on a daily basis. The parents of this
Generation Z-ers (those between the ages of 13 and 20) deserve special appreciation and
congratulation for their important role in helping them to receive the Sacrament of
Confirmation—a milestone in their faith life!
Though the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation marks a mile stone in the lives of
these youngsters, it doesn’t mark the end of their formal religious education program in
the parish. And it continues till they graduate from high school.
My brief conversation with Nick Labrie and Colleen Beringer, the Life-Teen and
Confirmation coordinators in our parish, made me realize that these 146 teenagers have
two more years left to complete their high school. Kathy McCormick, director of Faith
Formation and Evangelization at our parish says: “There is a requirement that they should
continue to attend (Life Teen program) until graduation from high school. The
Confirmation requirements are completed for the reception of the sacrament but the
responsibility that we (parish) have for religious education to the teens continues through
the 12th grade.”
During the post Confirmation period (the two years in high school) it could happen that
the zeal and enthusiasm of these Generation Z-ers for their faith life may fade bit by bit.
Now the question is: how can we, as a parish family, keep these booming youngsters on
fire (in their faith life) who form tomorrow’s Church? Well, there are programs specifically
designed for these our youngsters to help them grow and mature in their faith life like Life
Teen Empower and Discipleship program.
This two-year period is a precious time for the parents of the teenagers as well to prepare
their children for the college that they don’t lose their faith and its practice as they begin
to live on campuses enjoying the newly found adult life.
The teenage years are the most vulnerable time in the life of an individual. This is the time
period the parents find it hard to parent a child. Hence, it is all the more important for the
parents to be the authentic examples to them by living a faith-based, value-based,
principle-based and conviction-based life. For, they are your best critics.
Living the faith in families is an absolute must for these Generation Z youngsters,
especially the post Confirmation teenagers, for their ongoing faith formation. This would
mean daily family prayer by all the members of the family at a convenient time,
celebrating the sacrament of reconciliation at least once a month as a family, celebrating
the Holy Eucharist on Sundays and other Holy Days of obligation as a family, doing
charitable activities as a family, reading religious and other value based books and
engaging in conversation, watching faith based programs and movies, spending an hour
every week before the Blessed Sacrament as a family, at times entering into family
discussion and conversation on interesting topics from the Catechism of the Catholic
Church and the like. The parents can also offer continuing ongoing faith formation to
their children who are getting ready to hit college campuses. This is how a home becomes
the ‘domestic church’ as envisioned by II Vatican Council.
The Generation Z-ers are encouraged to be in touch with the parish for their further
growth in faith life. Our parish is offering several opportunities to these youngsters to get
involved to enhance the faith life of our beautiful parish family. By getting involved in a
particular ministry they can grow in their faith and at the same time they can help others
to grow in their faith as well. Please don’t hesitate to call Nick or Colleen to help you to
find how you could use your talents and abilities for the good of the Cathedral faith
family.
The Cathedral Flower Guild is
seeking sponsors for the weekly altar
flowers. Both the sponsor’s name and
the name of the person being
honored will be printed in the
Sunday bulletin on the weekend the
flowers appear on the altar.
The cost of sponsorship is $150 for
the main altar; $100 for each side
altar; and $60 for the Parish Hall. The
Flower Guild will select the
arrangements; and the colors will be
compatible with the Cathedral colors
and feast days. The Cathedral
arrangements will remain on the
altars for the following week.

Padre Celestial:
Te damos Gracias por nuestras Madres, a las que tu les has confiado
el cuidado precioso de la vida humana desde su inicio. Tú has dado a
la mujer la capacidad de participar contigo en la creación de nueva
vida. Haz que cada mujer pueda llegar a comprender el pleno
significado de esta bendición. Mira a cada madre que esta esperando
un hijo, fortalece su fe en tu paternal cuidado y amor para con ella y
para su hijo en camino. Dale Valentía en tiempos de miedo o dolor,
comprensión en los momentos de incertidumbre y duda, y esperanza
en tiempos de problemas. Concédele alegría en el nacimiento de su hijo. Bendice a las madres quienes les ha
dado el gran privilegio y la responsabilidad de formar a un niño o una niña. Haz que todas ellas puedan
fomentar la fe de sus hijos, siguiendo ejemplo de Maria, la Madre de tu Hijo. Ayuda a todas las “madres
espirituales” quienes están al cuidado de los hijos de otros y asumen su tarea con amor maternal, que
puedan descubrir que engendrar vida es mucho mas que dar a luz. Te pedimos que envíes el Espíritu Santo
consolador a las madres que han perdido sus hijos, que están enfermos o separados de sus familias, que se
encuentren en peligro o problemas de cualquier tipo. Muéstrales su Misericordia y dales Fortaleza y
serenidad. Colma de tu paz a las madres que ya no están con nosotros, que disfruten en Tu presencia del
fruto de sus esfuerzos en la tierra.
Maria Madre del Cielo, intercede por todas las Madres, se su guía y Consuelo. Alcánzales de Dios la
Gracia para esta vida y la alegría eternal en la Gloria. Amen.

Dear Friends in Christ,
Welcome! On behalf of Archbishop Wilton Gregory, the Clergy,

hundred ministries. Our mission statement to “Know, Love and
Serve as Jesus Did” is fulfilled by the sharing our gifts of time,
talent and treasure. If you are new, it is my hope that you will
join us and become part of this wonderful community. If you are
just visiting, it is a blessing to have you here and thank you for
worshiping with us. We hope you will come again.
If you would like to learn more about our community, you can
