Dear Parishioners,

We have been made aware that there is a black mass taking place in Atlanta on October 25th.  This is a horrific, blasphemous event in which a consecrated host that has been stolen is desecrated in the most vile of ways. We will have a Mass of Reparation here at the parish at 8:15PM and then use the consecrated Host for a Holy Hour with prayers of reparation from 9:00pm-10:00pm to follow. As your pastor, I ask that you and your family would attend, and additionally consider fasting on Friday, October 25. Please pray for the conversion of all those planning to attend this atrocity.

If you are not able to attend, please come to the Divine Mercy chaplet that will be held in the church at 3:00pm on Friday, October 25.

In Christ,
Fr. Tim Nadolski

See the following statement from Archbishop Gregory John Hartmayer:

“The Archdiocese of Atlanta was made aware that the satanic temple of Atlanta has scheduled a so-called Black Mass for Friday, October 25, at “MJQ Concourse/The Drunken Unicorn” on 736 Ponce De Leon Avenue NE in Atlanta.

Even though tickets are being sold for this event as if it were merely some sort of dark entertainment, this satanic ritual is a serious sacrilege. It is a blasphemous and obscene inversion of the Catholic Mass. Using a consecrated host they claim they obtained illicitly from a Catholic church and desecrating it in the vilest ways imaginable, the practitioners offer it in sacrifice to Satan.

This terrible sacrilege is a deliberate attack on the Catholic Mass as well as the foundational beliefs of all Christians. It mocks our Lord Jesus Christ, whom we Catholics believe is truly present under the form of bread and wine in the Holy Eucharist when it has been consecrated by a validly ordained priest.

I am calling on all Catholics of the Archdiocese of Atlanta to face this attack to our faith through prayer, penance and prayers of reparation. I am asking that each parish conducts a Eucharistic Holy Hour with Benediction to honor the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, ideally on Friday, October 25, at 9 p.m., or between now and October 25 as an act of reparation to this proposed sacrilege.

We commend our efforts to the Lord through the loving intercession of Mary, the Mother of God.”
