Our Community in Atlanta
The community in Atlanta begins in April 2014 during an Easter visit of Sister Pia and Brother Javier. With the initial support and motivation of Father Carlos Vargas, a small group of 7 friends started the service. Initially, we met once a month and prepared 60 bags of food. Thanks to God, the group quickly began to grow as well as the frequency of the services. Today, servants from 5 different parishes come to serve weekly. In addition to the spiritual food that we provide, we prepare about 200 bags of food and serve at 3 different service points in downtown Atlanta. Thanks to donations from people, we also assist the homeless with toiletries and clothing.
Additionally, we meet every Tuesday in different parishes to pray in community and meditate the Holy Rosary.
The parishes in which we meet to pray are:
