Archbishop Hartmayer will celebrate Mass at 10:00 am at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Atlanta on Saturday, March 1st, honoring the Woman and Teen of the Year for each of those parishes which are members of the Atlanta Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women.
Kim Biggs has been chosen as Woman of the Year, and Colin Lengyel has been chosen as Teen of the Year for Saint Brigid Parish. We truly appreciate their many important contributions to our parish as we strive to sustain and enhance the spiritual vitality of our faith community. They inspire us by their example of generous and unselfish service.
Kim and Colin have certainly exhibited love of God and love of neighbor as they continue on their journey of faith.
Kim serves our faith community in many different ways. She serves in a leadership position in our “Women of Saint Brigid” ministry. Kim has actively participated in “Christ Renews His Parish”, now known as our “Renewed in Christ” program.
She has served as a Catechist in our “Rite of Christian Initiation for Children” program and as a member of our advisory committee for our altar servers. Kim has also been a faithful and dedicated volunteer in our current Capital Campaign to build our new Parish Life Center. In all that she does, Kim finds great joy in serving the Lord and serving the faith community of Saint Brigid.
Colin serves as a teen leader for our Youth Ministry. He has also served as an altar server and Eagle Scout. In addition, Colin has been a dedicated volunteer with Vacation Bible School (VBS) and Life Teen Edge (LTE). He has a great appreciation for the Eucharist and constantly seeks ways to grow in holiness, and invites others to grow with him. In his words and in his actions, he gives witness as a true disciple of Christ. Colin interacts well with his peers and sets a great example for them. He is held in high esteem by his Youth Ministry coordinators and core group.
On behalf of the priests, deacons, staff and parishioners of Saint Brigid, I congratulate Kim and Colin for the honors they will soon receive.
