to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation,
and another is building upon it. But each one must be
careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a
foundation other than the one that is there, namely,
Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor 3: 9-11)
Intercessory prayers were offered for the safety of all
those who will work on the construction project; for all
those who have worked tirelessly to plan, design and
financially support this much needed addition; those who
will make use of this building; and that the work we begin
will contribute to the building up of the Kingdom of God
and the unity, faith, and love of our parish family.

I include one prayer here in gratitude to all those who
have made this project possible:

“May the Architect of our Lives bless all those whose
vision has brought us to this moment: Those founding
families and benefactors who helped establish this
parish and persevered in faith; those committees and
people who worked to plan and design this project;
who labored tirelessly to raise resources; and those
who generously gave and continue to give of their
time, talent, and treasure, we pray to the Lord.”
The new addition to Founders’ Hall will have two levels.
The basement level will contain a new choir room, Music
Director’s office, and a bathroom. The upper level will
contain a new, larger kitchen with state-of-the-art appli-
ances and equipment. In addition, it will contain a new
office for the Pastor and two, smaller staff offices. The
back entrance to the new addition will be located close to
the John Paul II building. This entrance will lead to the
offices, as well as to a stairwell to the new choir room.
The project will also make the lower level handicap ac-                                                  (Photos by

Life and Dignity of the Human Person: A Humanitarian Visit
                                  Sponsored by the SPB Social Justice Committee
On Saturday, May 18, 2019, our interfaith group traveled to Lumpkin, Georgia to visit with volunteers and families stay-
ing at El Refugio and to meet with men who were being held at the Stewart Detention Center. The excursion/immersion
began early in the morning at 7AM with Fr. Luis leading us in prayer. As he prepared us to “welcome the stranger”, Fr.
Luis asked us to be open to God working in our lives. He shared that the time spent together would not only impact the
detainee, but that each of us would be changed by the experience. Looking back on our day, we realized that a pro-
found transformation had taken place in our hearts. Members of the group expressed their personal experiences in
writing. Here are excerpts from our reflections:

   El Refugio and the Stewart Detention Center are a stark contrast to each other, but in both places, I guarantee
      you will meet Jesus! El Refugio is an incredible ministry of volunteers who literally welcome the stranger among
      us. They dedicate themselves to opening their home of hospitality to transient families who are summoned to
      Lumpkin, Georgia to visit their loved one who is in immigration custody or facing deportation. The home itself is
      beautiful and has charm, not because of any major “look” or appeal, but rather, because of the radical hospitality
      that is shared and exchanged. It’s a place where you are welcomed as you are and encouraged to stay as long
      as is necessary for your visit. It reminds me and elicits in me the same feelings of being embraced by Jesus!

   The Stewart Detention Center, on the other hand, is a place that is stoic and austere with nothing but serious-
      ness. I perceived an air of disdain, antipathy towards our desire to visit the detained individuals. In spite of that, I
      chose to intentionally bring joy to my interactions and I made the best of it with anyone who would talk to me! I
      met families and spoke with fathers, wives, daughters, girlfriends, and children of detainees. They were so grate-
      ful for our shared interactions and so joyous that we, as a collective group, were there!

   I visited a young man who has been detained for six months. He was aware that he might be stopped at the bor-
      der and actually turned himself in to the Immigration Agents at the Rio Grande. He is seeking asylum. He spoke
      extensively about the daily fear his countrymen live with – the shortage of food, and the abuse of government offi-
      cials, the military, and police.

   We had a beautiful encounter with an African- American woman and her three young children. Her husband had
      been arrested on May 14. She had driven six hours to see her husband and when she visited him, she said his
      spirits were high and that he was asking for a Bible; he was Catholic. The young lady had little knowledge of Bi-
      bles and we explained to her that she should get a Catholic Bible, a Spanish one if possible. Information was giv-
      en to her about “El Refugio House”, so she could stay there the next time she came to visit her husband. She put
      some money on her husband’s account and was on her way out the door when she stopped and came back and
      hugged us, saying that we were the grandmothers she never had. It was a heartwarming experience to be able to
      help a stranger.

   I was struck by the sadness! The faces of the families, including the children, said it all. A couple of the toddlers
      got restless, but they are there most of the day to only see their relative for one hour - and through plexiglass!
      Those who were bringing clothes, allowed just before deportment, were unable to see their loved ones. Everyone
      seems resigned.

   I didn’t realize I have that kind of patience in me (waiting for hours to meet the detainee). ,I am blessed I visited
      and chatted with Jesus who is in prison.

   He barely took a breath as he described the violence in his home country. Caught in the middle of a rising civil
      war, he had been imprisoned for two years, but was able to escape through the assistance of a guard who knew
      of his village. His brothers were killed; he hasn’t been able to locate his parents. I listened as he described how
      he made his way from Africa to the U.S., hoping for asylum. As he spoke on the deliberate killing of young males,
      based on their language, it brought images of the Holocaust and of Jim Crow to mind. His hearing is set for late
      June. I pray for him.

   I think my presence, like the presence of my colleagues and friends from our parish, made an INCREDIBLE dif-
      ference. After our hour-long conversation, I sincerely felt that we had made a new friend and now had to give a
      final goodbye! As the guard came to usher us out and to take them back to their holding cells, we placed our
      hands on the plexiglass that separated us and shared a final smile of “see you later”.

   It’s one thing to pray for detainees. It’s another to meet them face-to-face. By doing so, we gain a wider view of
      the world by trying to see things through others’ eyes. My faith teaches me that these men are our neighbors and
      I am called to love them. I plan to return for another visit.

Echoing God’s Word
Have you ever had the experience of being in a canyon or a space where you can hear the reflection of sound waves
coming back to you? We call this phenomenon an echo. Through our encounters, our shared words and visible deeds,
we make present who Jesus is. Did you know that when you are doing this, you are a catechist? It is a fancy word that
simply means to echo. Catechesis, the act of handing on the Word of God, is more than simply teaching religious infor-
mation; it is an exchange of presence, whereby mutual dialogue and sharing of life, we echo what a relationship with
God looks like.
In one sense, we are all catechists because we are all called to echo God’s Word. “Surely, God didn’t mean me? After
all, Jesus spoke with authority. He was the son of God! I am just a mechanic; a nurse; a teacher; a stay-at-home
parent. Do I speak or teach with any authority when I am sharing my faith?” Absolutely, the Church says. We are all
catechists! To prepare us in our work as catechists though, the church expects us to have basic knowledge about the
life of Christ and the teachings of His Church. After all, we cannot share what we do not have. This emphasizes the
importance of Faith Formation for all of us.
There are some among us who are specially commissioned by the Church to share God’s words and deeds with chil-
dren, youth and adults. To prepare those who are catechists in the faith formation of others, the Archdiocese of Atlanta
recognizes three levels of certification. They are basic, intermediate, and advanced; the levels depend on the number
of course hours a person must complete. The course requirements cover Methodology, Scripture, Theology, Faith and
Moral Development, Prayer and Spirituality. The courses can be obtained by attending local Adult Faith Formation
opportunities, diocesan classes and events, or the yearly Atlanta Catechist Conference. They can also be obtained
online. Your parish catechetical leaders (Lorraine Miller, MT Rivera, Darleine Arce, and Susan Baker) can help anyone
who would like to work toward certification. All people in roles or positions that teach the faith are required by the Arch-
diocese to obtain at least the basic level of certification within two years of becoming a catechist.
There is one additional, special designation possible for a catechist: the recognition of Master Catechist. At St. Philip
Benizi Parish, we celebrate the achievement of several of our parishioners as Master Catechists! This means that a
person has completed a minimum of eighteen hours of academic credit, or graduate degree, or certificate program in
Religious Education, Theology, Pastoral Studies, or the equivalent. The person also has at least three years of experi-
ence as a catechist, is compliant with Safe Environment screening and background check, and has three letters of
recommendation, including one from his or her pastor.
We have several designated Master Catechists at our parish, including two of our most recent graduates of the Univer-
sity of Dallas, Ileana Astorga and Zulema Galvan. Congratulations, ladies! Other Master Catechists include: Carol
Gossett, Danilo Campos, Roger Desjardins, Obi Emmanuel and Carol Hamill. We are blessed at our parish to have at
least 3 others currently working toward the goal of Master Catechist certification. These folks exhibit the passion to
know and echo Christ to others. Be the echo! Be a catechist!

Congratulations to our First Communicants!
Approximately 110 of St. Philip’s children received the Sacrament of First Eucharist on May 11-12, 2019, during five of our
weekend Masses. We sincerely thank our Friars and Deacons for celebrating this sacrament with them and give heartfelt
thanks to Darleine Arce, Religious Ed Coordinator, and the many Catechists and Aides who prepared these children to
receive the sacrament. May God bless them all for their dedication, service, and love. (Photos by Yone Daly, Susan
Douglas, John Lumapas, Cindy Mack, and Bill Piper—thank you for being there to help photograph all the Masses!)

Congratulations to our First Communicants!

         During his homily, Fr. John asked the children,
                 “Who wants to go to Heaven?”
          Everyone raised their hands until he added,
                  “Who wants to go now?!” 

            First Communion Masses are always joyous celebrations as the children receive
          the Body and Blood of Christ for the first time. As they continue to grow in their faith,
         may these children come to understand the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist
                          and the great gift that Jesus gave us in this sacrament.

Congratulations to our Confirmandi!
Approximately 45 of St. Philip’s teens received the Sacrament of Confirmation on May 26, 2019. We were honored to
have Bishop Emeritus John Kevin Boland of Savannah preside during the Mass and administer the sacrament. Concele-
brating with him were Fr. John Koziol and Fr. Martin Breski, assisted by Deacon Tom Nemchik. We sincerely thank St.
Philip’s Youth Minister, Susan Baker, and the Confirmation Catechists for preparing our youth for this sacrament. May
these students continue on their journey of faith and witness to the Gospel with their lives by loving and serving our God.

Congratulations to our Confirmandi!

Far Right: Bishop Boland was interested in speaking with this young man who chose St. Brendan
of Clonfert as his Confirmation name. Being Irish himself, Bishop Boland stated that he has been
 to Clonfert and to the cathedral there, and noted that the young man picked a good Irish Saint!
