What is the Summer Slide?

The summer slide is the term used to describe a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session.

St. Veronica’s Guild, along with the ECW, is raising funds to help eliminate that slide for some of Georgia’s most vulnerable children.

The Beneficiaries

THE BOYCE L. ANSLEY SCHOOL

Funds raised will be used to support the Ansley School’s inaugural summer learning program.

L aAMISTAD

Books and other summer enrichment materials will be purchased for the 24 students who have been tutored at the Cathedral during the 2022-2023 school year.

How You Can Help

PASTORAL Care

Landscapes Of Grief

A five-week grief-support group

May 14 – June 18 (no meeting May 28)

3:30 – 5:00 p.m.

Offered in partnership with Hospice Atlanta, this grief-support group is open to anyone in the community who is grieving the death of a loved one and is willing to commit to attending all five sessions. We meet at the Cathedral of St. Philip from 3:30 –5:00 p.m. on five Sunday afternoons. To maintain a comfortable group size, space is limited and registration is required. For more information or to register, contact Canon Zappa at czappa@cathedralATL.org.

For many, Mother’s Day can be a complex mixture of joy and gratitude as well as sorrow and regret. The loss of a mother and women whose dreams to become a mother that have been altered due to infertility, miscarriage, or another unwelcome reason can make this day feel heavy. Deep pain often resides beside love. We want to create a space to honor this grief. Please join us on Friday, May 12 from 5–6 p.m. for a support group in the Lanier House led by parishioner and therapist, Carter Monroe, followed by a healing service officiated by Julia Mitchener. RSVPs are appreciated, but all are welcome.

RSVP at cathedralATL.org/mindful. For questions, please contact julia.mitchener@cathedralATL.org.
