Parish School of cReligion Notes
By Dozie Bowen
Congratulations to the 54 children who made their First
Communion this year. Thank you to their teachers and
parents who helped prepare them for this special day.
Thank you, also, to all of the volunteers who helped to
make the First Communion extra special. What would we
do without you?!!!
Thank you to Anne Marie Pepitone and her fine First
Communion Reception Committee who donated flowers,
decorated, baked cookies and poured punch. A wonderful
time was had by all of the families who attended.
Thank you to the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard, the
Children’s Choir, the ushers, lector and altar servers who
donated their time that morning.
A very special thank you to Bloom’s of Dunwoody for our
beautiful church flowers and for their generous donation of
the Blessed Mother’s lovely crown.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 2015 OneWeek Summer PSR and our Vacation Bible School a huge
success!!! God bless you all!!!

"Thank You" to the 76 Parish Families who signed up to support All Saints SVdP each time they
shop at a Kroger's store. Every time they bought needed food and items for their family, Kroger's
Community Rewards Program donated a percentage of their total purchase to All Saints SVdP so we
can help feed local families in need. We have just received our 3rd Quarter check from Kroger for
$149.50. This brings our grand total so far to $485.32 !!! How do you sign up?? Go to
www.Krogercommunityrewards.com and register your Kroger Plus card. Follow the steps under
the Community tab. When you are asked to type in the first three letters of your charity, type ALL and
you will find us (# 63578). It’s that easy! God bless you for your continued support.
