Ten young men from St. George Catholic Church got a tasty breakfast and a taste of what life is like for priests at the annual Breakfast with the Clergy, vocations awareness morning.
On Oct. 18, Father Austin Fogarty, pastor at St. George's, and the St. George's Knights of Columbus sponsored their fourth annual gathering to share what the priesthood is like with young men.
The eventyt was held at the St. George's Social Hall.
Ten youth in grades 8-12 from St. George's attended. There were five Atlanta Diocese priests and one Society of Jesus clergy. All enjoyed a 5-star breakfast prepared and served by the St. George's Knights.
A total of 22 parents and grandparents were in attendance.
Following the breakfast, a 20-minute video highlighting vocations in the Archdiocese of Atlanta was shown. All clergy attending the breakfast witnessed regarding their calling and their lives as priests. Each of the participating boys asked questions they had about vocations in the priesthood.
Boys attending were Rodney Johnson, Paul Mansour, Moises Escabar, Justin McClendon, Elias Zavaleta, Javier Zavaleta, Alexander Denny, Ben Johnson, Chris Payne and Preston Winkles.
Clergy were Father Austin Fogarty of St. George's, Father Kevin Hargedan from St. Peter's in LaGrange, Father Javier Munoz from St. George's, Father Mike Kingery from Holy Trinity in Peachtree City, Father Henry Atem from St. Peter Channel in Atlanta and Father Al Louapre of Ignatius House Retreat Center in Atlanta.
The Knights of Columbus, founded in 1882 by Father Michael McGivney, a parish priest, are celebrating their 126th Anniversary this year. The Knights are an international organization with 1.7 million members.
Values of the Knights are charity, patriotism, unity and fraternity.
