May 22 , 2016 Announcements Construction Corner/Rincón de la Construcción We are on track for Dekalb County to come on site the last week of May to approve a temporary certificate of occupancy for our return to the sanctuary. If granted, we could be in the sanctuary the first week of June. Please continue to pray for this outcome! The preparation work on the exterior of the lower building (gym and preschool) will begin this week. It is critical that this work begin as soon as possible so that we can re-open the preschool in August. Most of the work on the lower building will be to the exterior; however, new grease traps will be installed in both kitchens and the windows will be replaced. The grease trap installation in the gym kitchen will begin immediately to avoid any impact of events planned during the summer. Window replacement takes several weeks as the old windows must be removed, measurements made, windows ordered, framing built, windows installed and then water tested. As we know from the sanctuary and administrative offices, plywood takes the place of the glass for several weeks. Although the exterior of the lower building will be in disarray for a few months, the gym will be available for events. The exterior of our buildings will soon have a fresh look. We would like to also improve our landscaping. If you are a landscape architect who would like to share your gift of landscape planning with your parish family, please contact the front office. Thank you for your patience and continuing financial support for this much needed work to our facilities. Soon we will be able to celebrate! Estamos en el camino para el Condado de Dekalb para venir en el lugar la ultima semana de mayo para aprobar un certificado temporal de ocupacion para nuestro regreso al santuario. Si se concede, podríamos estar en el santuario de la primera semana de junio. Por favor, continúen orando por este resultado! El trabajo de preparacion en el exterior del edificio mas bajo (gimnasio y preescolares) comenzara esta semana. Es fundamental que esta obra comience tan pronto como sea posible para que podamos volver a abrir el preescolar en agosto. La mayor parte del trabajo en el edificio mas bajo sera al exterior; Sin embargo, nuevas trampas de grasa se instalaran en ambas cocinas y seran reemplazadas las ventanas. La instalacion de la trampa de grasa en la cocina gimnasio comenzara inmediatamente para evitar cualquier impacto de los actos programados durante el verano. El reemplazo de ventanas lleva varias semanas que hay que eliminar las viejas ventanas, las mediciones realizadas, ventanas ordenadas, enmarcando incorporado, ventanas instaladas y despues se prueba el agua. Como sabemos por el santuario y oficinas administrativas, madera contrachapada toma el lugar del vidrio durante varias semanas. Aunque el exterior del edificio mas bajo sera en desorden durante unos meses, el gimnasio estara disponible para eventos. El exterior de los edificios pronto tendra una nueva mirada. Nos gustaría tambien mejorar nuestros jardines. Si usted es un arquitecto del paisaje que le gustaría compartir su don de la planificacion del paisaje con su familia parroquial, por favor, pongase en contacto con la oficina principal. Gracias por su paciencia y continuo apoyo financiero para este trabajo tan necesario a nuestras instalaciones. Pronto seremos capaces de celebrar! Got Pics?

Kidane We’d like to extend warm wishes and congratulations to Father Kidanemariam Gebrehiwot, of the Catholic Archeparchy of Asmara, Eritrea. He is the vicar for the Catholic Ge’ez Rite community in the Atlanta area, which is based right here at Corpus Christi! This active body of believers is able to enjoy worship in their native language and traditions under his leadership. Fr. Kidane was ordained April 14, 1991. He served in his native Ethiopia and in Vatican City. He founded Our Lady of Perpetual Succor Church in Ethiopia. Fr. Kidane was recognized by the Archbishop of Atlanta at this year’s Chrism Mass during the Holy Week festivities and subsequently featured in the Georgia Bulletin. He will have a celebration here at Corpus Christi on Sunday, May 22nd after the regular Eritrean Mass at 2:30 p.m. We’d be remiss not to recognize him on this very special occasion of his Silver Jubilee!

Richard Dick, the coordinator of our Parish School Religion and Beatrice Soskin, director of Little Ones Preschool will both be leaving us soon. Dick, better known as Mr. Rick, began his work at Corpus Christi in July of 2009 as the full-time Director of Religious Education. He brought a bundle of passion and years of wisdom from his experience as a Lutheran pastor and DRE. He transitioned to part-time PSR Coordinator in July of 2015 in anticipation of the adoption of his two girls Luisa and Nelly from Columbia. The adoption is now complete and the girls are quickly settling in. He will be retiring on June 1 to enjoy this new phase of life and become a full-time parent to the girls. He and his family will remain in our prayers and hearts. Soskin, who we all know as Beedee, began working at this church 37 years ago! She founded the Little Ones Preschool and has been at the helm since its inception. It began as a part-time program that operated 2 days a week from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in one classroom. Now, it’s a year round program with approximately 50 students! She brings energy and a love of Christ to all that she does. Her vibrancy, love of life and positive outlook will be missed. She retires on May 31. May God continue to bless her in her new season. She assures us she will keep herself busy with things she loves to do. We are thankful for their service, to know them as friends and to share in their journeys. Join us on Saturday, July 23rd for a Thanksgiving mass in their honor during the 5 p.m. Vigil Mass. It will be followed by a reception in the gym.
