To: Priests, Deacons, Brothers, Sisters, Parish and School Staff
From: Ms. Kimberly Daniels, President, Tolton Ambassadors Atlanta
We cordially want to invite you to the Fr. Augustus Tolton Memorial Mass at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 3773 Chamblee Tucker Road, Atlanta, GA 30341.
Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory will serve as the principal celebrant for the Mass, and a brief reception will follow our liturgical celebration.
We eagerly anticipate your presence for our Eucharistic Celebration where our hearts and minds will join together in praising God and thanking Him for the gift of Fr. Tolton. As we remain inspired by his life, we also remember that his ministry as an ordained priest centered on drawing people closer to Christ through the Eucharist and service.
Our partaking of the body and blood of Christ in memory of Fr. Tolton reminds us that his “suffering service sheds light upon our sorrows,” as we “see them through the prism of Christ’s passion and death.” Now is an essential time for the faithful to prayerfully reflect on the goodness of Fr. Tolton that inspires us to love and serve one another in the spirit of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior that is far greater than anything that attempts to separate us.
Please feel free to share this information with your family and friends, especially the members of your own parish. For more information, please email Tolton Ambassadors Atlanta at toltonambassadorsatlanta@gmail.com.
