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.

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
(cf. Genesis 3:19)

Come and begin the Lenten journey with us as a parish family.

Parish Mission

Begin Lent with our Parish Lenten Mission, a time of prayer and reflection as we prepare our hearts for Easter and renew our hope in Christ.

This year, our mission will be led by Father Praveen Turaka and his brother friar of the Capuchin Franciscan Order. Through the lens of Franciscan spirituality, they will guide us in embracing humility, repentance, simplicity, and a deeper love for the Eucharist as we walk the Lenten journey together.
