Archbishop’s Annual Appeal 2026

“We Are One Body in Christ – Called to Serve”

Each year, the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal calls us to come together as one Church, serving Christ by serving one another. Through this appeal, the Archdiocese of Atlanta supports essential ministries and services that no single parish could sustain alone.

Scripture reminds us

"As a body is one though it has many parts… so also Christ.”  — 1 Cor. 12:12

The Appeal assists individuals and families in need, strengthens parishes, missions, and schools, and helps form leaders for the Church. Every gift, no matter the size, helps advance the mission of Christ throughout our Archdiocese.

Parish Impact
When Our Lady of the Mountains meets and exceeds its Appeal goal, funds beyond the goal are returned directly to the parish, supporting our local ministries and community life.

We invite all parishioners to prayerfully participate—because we are one Body in Christ, called to serve.

Lenten Small Groups

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

This Lent, you are invited to journey more deeply with Christ through our Lenten Small Groups. Together, we will reflect on what it means to surrender our lives to God in faith, letting go of self-reliance and opening our hearts to the transforming power of His grace. When we acknowledge our weakness, we create space for God to work within us.

Our parish will be praying with Crux, Ascension’s Lenten program led by Fr. Columba Jordan. This Lenten journey includes:

• A daily devotional with Scripture-based reflections and simple spiritual and physical disciplines
• Weekly video reflections with Fr. Columba to guide prayer and discussion
• A family component to help households remain centered on the loving sacrifice of Jesus throughout the season
  

In addition, weekly small group gatherings will be offered throughout the week. Each meeting will include prayer, meaningful discussion, and time to reflect together on the week’s themes.

To sign up to participate or to lead a small group, contact Michael Gagnon.

Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (Candlemas)

This beautiful liturgy commemorates Christ as the Light of the Nations and includes the Blessing of Candles. Parishioners are invited to bring candles from home to be blessed for use throughout the year.

“My eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles.” — Luke 2:30–32

Catholic Conversations

Preparing Our Heart for Lent

Join us after the 8:30 a.m. Mass on Saturday, February 7, for a delicious breakfast and the next gathering in our Catholic Conversations series as we begin preparing our hearts for the sacred season of Lent.

With Ash Wednesday on February 18, this is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how prayer, fasting, and almsgiving shape our Lenten journey. To help guide our conversation, we will view two short and engaging video reflections:

• A talk by Dr. Brant Pitre on The Three Temptations of Christ, exploring how Jesus confronts the devil and how we, too, can rely on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to grow in holiness
• A reflection by Dr. Michael Barber on Grace and Almsgiving, highlighting Christ’s self-sacrificial love and how our acts of generosity allow us to imitate Him

Come enjoy good food, meaningful conversation, and thoughtful reflection as we prepare together for Lent.



All are welcome. Join us and begin the journey.

Ash Wednesday
