I am new to McDonough and have been to St. James but I am looking for a nice old Catholic church. I am from Galveston, TX and my church (Sacred Heart) was very old and had so much history. Can someone please help me?

Here is a list of the oldest parishes in the Archdiocese of Atlanta: http://www.archatl.com/parishes/index_by date.html

With love in Christ.

Looking for Church name ideas for renaming our Church. Three parishes will be merged to one. The current three parish names are: St. Joseph, St. Mary's, and Sacred Heart Church. Looking for ideas to make one new Church name. Thank you.

obvious:
Holy Family.

I apologize for the rudeness of my fellow posters.

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone was familiar on the topics of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus from the viewpoint of the Catholic Church. I tried using Google, but it didn't work very well for me.

Any information would be greatly appreciated along with any sources. I'm really curious about them!

Thanks in advance!

Though not a dogma of the Church, there is a close relationship between devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of His Mother. Pope Pius XII said it was fitting that after our homage paid to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Christian people should manifest similar piety and love of their grateful hearts for the most loving heart of Mary, our heavenly Mother, through whom we have received the divine life from Christ.

What does the Church mean by the Immaculate Heart of Mary and how are we to practice this great devotion? By the Immaculate Heart of Mary the Church means that aspect of the Virgin symbolized by the word “heart”, then her sinless purity expressed by the word “immaculate”. Calling Mary’s heart immaculate we know to be true and our devotion is honoring her for that great privilege.

What shall we say about Mary’s love? It was totally and exclusively human. Her Son’s Love was both divine and human as He was God and Man, but Mary’s love was always human because that was what she was, a creature – that was all the love she had. Well then, whom did Mary love? And how did Mary love? Both answers are the object of our devotion to her Immaculate Heart. During her life on earth Mary loved God with all her heart. Christ’s command in the Old Testament was followed perfectly, as Mary fulfilled it – loving her Divine Son as only a mother can love the fruit of her womb; she loved Joseph her devoted husband, to whom she was espoused, as only a devoted wife could. Mary is a model in a special way for women. Mary loved her relatives. We know that because when she first heard that her aged kinswoman was with child and would be needing help, St. Luke tells us that Mary ran across the hill country to a town of Juda to assist Elizabeth. Mary loved her friends. When invited to their wedding and they ran out of wine, Mary did something about it. She had no money to purchase it herself, so she asked the Giver of all gifts and the young couple had an excellent replenishment.

Mary loved John the Apostle to whom Jesus entrusted her on Calvary. She loved Peter whom she knew well. Trying to help she told her Son about Peter’s impetuosity, something He might well have seen, but He welcomed His Mother’s intuition. Mary knew Paul because Paul’s best friend was Luke, and of Paul, Luke spoke often to Mary. Paul never saw Jesus but we can be sure that Mary talked often to this great Apostle of the Gentiles. Mary loved greatly all the Apostles and disciples of her Son. Christ loved them and so did Mary. Weren’t they all with Mary on that day when the Holy Spirit came upon them at Pentecost? Now whom does Mary love? Mary, as the Church teaches, loves everyone, but especially those that most love her Son. Mary like every true mother gives her heart to those that love her Son.

How does Mary love? Mary during her life on earth loved sufferingly, for from the moment she conceived the Christ Child in her womb, she became the sorrowful Mother. Simeon early told her that a sword would pierce her heart and so it did.
