The observing eye of an outsider registers what is clearly apparent to St. Luke’s parishioners - the church is a hub, a center, around which a community gathers to share life. The relationships formed here run deep, like the gold that was once mined in the Dahlonega countryside. Here, in the foothills of the Appalachians, the heart of the Archdiocese of Atlanta enlarges, as the Charities Drive reaches out to support those in rural ministry. “Our archdiocesan grant from that once-a-year Drive frees us up to use our own resources and expand our outreach, both within the Catholic community and beyond it, where great numbers of unchurched are in need,” said Father Bob. He rejects the notion of collection for the needs of the poor. This emergency fund helps out with food, clothing, medicine, utility payments - basic needs,” Father Bob continued. “But the greatest gift we can give people, beyond these necessities, is hope, love and caring. The best way to do this is together, as a community of Catholics.” To this end, the Glenmary dynamo has initiated parish renewal weekends for his 400 parishioners spread over the three-parish, four-county mission territory - St. Paul the Apostle in Cleveland, St. Francis of Assisi in Blairsville, and St. Luke’s in Dahlonega. “Presently, about 45 percent of our adults have experienced the renewal weekend,” he said with pride. “We are focusing on loving each other, building warm and affectionate relationships with the members of our Catholic community. It really works!” It is working outside the Catholic community as well. Father Bob, who belongs to three ministerial associations in the area, shares prayer and lunch with the local Presbyterian minister once a week. Ecumenical dialogue is ongoing with the Baptist and Methodist congregations, in addition to evangelical churches that dot the rural countryside. “During our parish renewal,” said Father Bob, “the local churches prayed for us during their Sunday morning services. When the renewal was over, they expressed real interest in how it went.” The chilly February Thursday in the hills moves toward midaftemoon. St. Paul the Apostle Church in Cleveland, 20 miles up the road, awaits the three o’clock arrival of the Glenmary spirit. Mark Bomholdt, who is using his volunteer time to determine the direction of his own vocation, bids a quick farewell to Father Bob and friends, and heads his car northeast through winding mountain roads, past quiet dairy farms whose grasses have browned with the winter frosts. Franciscan Sisters Lene Rubly and Joan Meyer, Father Bob Poandl’s pastoral associates and religious education coordinators for the three rural parishes, welcome Mark at the Cleveland Catholic Center, which is their home. This afternoon, each corner of the snug and tidy white frame house will be filled with children from three to 14 years old, eager to renew their faith and taste a cookie in the warmth of the sisters’ kitchen. “Four years ago, we began with five students and two teachers,” recalled Sister Joan. “Today we have 39 children and eight teachers in Cleveland alone.” The sisters’ ministry includes summer Bible schools in the surrounding counties and visitation of the sick and elderly. “This work is really marvelous,” said Sister Joan with enthusiasm. She smiles readily at the children as they pass through her kitchen toward the large living room where all ages gather for opening instruction. “It’s such a challenge and Cleveland Catholics celebrated Mass in the Methodist Church,” said Sister Joan Meyer. “We were finally able to purchase some local farmland and renovated a house on the property for a church of our own. This first church will become a residence for religious when we complete our all-purpose building.” The new structure, scheduled for completion in 1982, will be built by the men of St. Paul the Apostle parish and will serve as church and parish hall until other buildings draws to a close. Later this evening, Mark will rendezvous with Father Bob close to the North Carolina border at the newly dedicated church of St. Francis of Assisi in Blairsville. There they will celebrate seven o’clock Mass with the Catholk community. It has been a day of faith and commitment in the Catholic outposts of the rural South, a day shared not only by Father Bob Poandl and his fellow ministers -- Francois, Mark, Sister Joan and Sister Lene - but one SR. JOAN MEYER and members of her Thursday afternoon Confirmation class share some time together in one of the back rooms of the sisters’ home. a joy to see the growth - to see the level of involvement of the people here.” The Catholic community in Cleveland is visible testimony to that growth, and a living example of how our generosity in the Charities Drive each year has sought to reach out beyond its own boundaries to nurture the life of the Church. “For nine years. are added. Two Glenmary brothers will supervise the construction. For the present, however, the Catholic children of Cleveland are anxious to begin their afternoon together. Joining hands with Sister Joan, Sister Lene, Mark and the other teachers, they pray the Our Father as a sign of the faith they share. Shadows begin to gather as the afternoon shared by all members of the Archdiocese of Atlanta as the mission ministry goes on. Here, gifts generously given by the people of God in north Georgia in their one-day annual drive nourish, renew, and expand the Body of Christ in remote rural communities. Stop in for lunch some Thursday at St. Luke’s and see for yourself. St. Thomas The Apostle Plans Renewal Week BY KRIS HUBER Most of us look forward to holidays and vacations with special interest and excitement. They provide a refreshing break in our daily routines. They hold the promise of experiencing familiar, old traditions, and the possibility of establishing new ones. We anticipate memorable moments spent with our families and friends, or special times of quiet reflection and relaxation. Holidays and vacations also renew us spiritually - reminding us, as we commune with nature on vacation, or with one another on the day of Christ’s birth, that we DO have a spiritual part of our lives. We have just enjoyed one such special time - Christmas. It has come, < and it has gone.

It’s happening Feb. 22-28 at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. A wonderful WEEK OF RENEWAL has been planned with Parish-Family Spirituality as its theme. Take a “winter holiday!” Come join us at St. Thomas! What better way to dispel the winter doldrums than an enlightening week filled with excellent speakers discussing current topics, quiet time for personal reflection, meaningful moments with friends, old and new; and most especially, a week of remembering, rejuvenating, renewing our spiritual growth! To begin the week, after all Masses on Feb. 22, each family who wishes to participate will be given “bread” to be taken home and placed on their table, where it will remain throughout the week, as a sign of spiritual nourishment. The “bread” will then be returned on the 28th, consecrated, and consumed at the closing liturgy. Another sign of the Renewal Week will be a special song, repeated each evening during the reflective/prayer time. A third outward sign will be a covenant, a commit ment, signed by those who wish to participate, and brought forth in the offertory procession Feb. 22, expressing our intentions to attend the Week of Renewal.
