PAGE 3 — The Georgia Bulletin, December 21,1989 "Gift Of Life" Sunday Set Peace Walk And Rally Planned At Kings Bay St. Patrick’s Church in Norcross will join other area churches and religious organizations Sunday, Dec. 31, for “Gift of Life Sunday.” For the fourth year in a row, American Red Cross Blood Services of the Atlanta region will hold blood drives on “Gift of Life Sunday” in order to offset the usual drop in blood collections during the holiday season. Six Red Cross bloodmobiles will be sta tioned throughout the metropolitan area, providing the opportunity to donate blood. St. Patrick’s, located at 2140 Beaver Ruin Road, will host the bloodmobile from 8 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. The entire blood dona tion process, from registration to refreshments, takes about an hour. The ac tual drawing of blood takes six to 10 minutes. Donors cannot contract any disease from giving blood. Most healthy people between ages 17 and 71 who weigh at least 110 pounds are able to give blood. Last year’s “Gift of Life Sunday” blood drives netted 215 pints of blood. This year’s goal is 250 pints. “When someone gives blood, they give life, with all the special moments and everyday experiences that make it precious,” commented Beth Greenberg of Red Cross donor services. "A single dona tion, which can help as many as four peo ple, can be the critical difference between life and death for someone who needs blood.” For locations of other blood donation sites and times on “Gift of Life Sunday” call 881-9800, ext. 219, Monday through Fri day between 8:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The annual Feast of the Holy Innocents witness at the Kings Bay Naval Base at St. Marys, Ga., will be held Dec. 27-30. About 300 people are expected to attend. The witness is held to raise public opposition to the new Trident nuclear submarine fleet to be based at the new installation. Members of Pax Christi/Atlanta will provide the common meal at Crooked River State Park, headquarters for the witness, located near the base. The menu consists of cole slaw, three bean salad, monastery bread, cookies and a fruit punch. Funding for the meal is being pro vided by the Atlanta Clergy and Laity Con cerned and the Trident To Life campaign. Schedule for the witness includes train ing for participation in civil disobedience, the distribution of leaflets at the gates of the submarine base during shift changing periods, and visits to residents of St. Marys. Childrens’ activities are also included for the families who attend the Christmas week gathering. There will be candlelight vigils at the base and a public program at St. Marys. A peace walk and rally at the main gate of the base is scheduled for Dec. 29 at 9:30 a.m. Possible civil disobedience may follow.

Spiritual Growth Course Offered Catechists Gather For Retreat During Advent, over 90 parish catechetical leaders and religion teachers from across the archdiocese gathered together at Simp- sonwood Retreat Center for a day of fellowship and prayer for themselves and for the people they serve in their religious education programs in the parishes. Sponsored by the arch diocesan Office of Religious Education, the retreat day was lead by Sister Mary Sue Kennedy OP, campus minister of Emory. The day centered on assessing one’s in dividual fears and hopes as one prepares for the New Year. Marylyn McDonald wel- Located in Christ The King Parish corned everyone and in troduced the programs by encouraging everyone “to put away the concerns of their classes and programs back home and enter into the mystery of this day of spirituality for themselves and for what God wants to reveal to their hearts by prayerful listening and discernment throughout the day to follow.” At the day’s end, she challenged the cathchists “to go home now to your parish programs and do this or a similar activity of Advent prayer with the students and adults you serve. As religious educators it is our respon sibility to help people to become pray-ers as we teach them prayers simultaneously.” Another program for Lent is being planned by the Office of Religious Education.
