Pastoral CARE
REMEMBERING YOUR BABY
Sunday, October 13
4–6 p.m., St. Mary’s Chapel
In October, 1988 President Ronald Reagan proclaimed October as National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. The month recognizes the loss so many parents experience, a loss that is complex and not easily navigated. In the 36 years following this proclamation conversations and support surrounding the loss of an infant by miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn death remain difficult. Parents of perinatal loss continue to feel alone and isolated.
If you are a parent or grandparent who has experienced the loss of a child during pregnancy or the death of a newborn, you are invited to join Deacon Linda Rosengren and other parents on Sunday, October 13 for conversation. We will also plan for the observance of the annual “Wave of Light” on October 15, a night when parents of loss light a candle at 7 p.m. in their respective time zones creating a Wave of Light around the world. Please let Deacon Rosengren know if you plan to attend by emailing her at lrosengren@cathedralATL.org.
Please join us on Sunday, October 13 at 5:30 p.m. to Gather in the Garden! This event is for anyone who is new or newish to the Cathedral. Members of our Newcomers and Parish Life Committee will supply appetizers and be here to help you connect to some of the many offerings of the Cathedral. Weather permitting, we will be in the Cloister Garden, which you can access across the hallway from Child Hall. Please RSVP and direct questions to Liz Aull, laull@cathedralATL.org

The 36th Annual
Homeless r equiem
We Will Remember Friday, November 1
The Cathedral of St. Philip has a long tradition of outreach, discipleship, and caring for others in our Atlanta community — particularly those in need. The Homeless Requiem is a service in memory of individuals who have died in Atlanta in the past year while unhoused.
PLEASE JOIN US IN FELLOWSHIP AND SUPPORT AT OUR 36TH ANNUAL HOMELESS REQUIEM ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1.
To support the Homeless Requiem, please consider:
Volunteering. There are many volunteering opportunities available in the days and weeks before the Requiem and a variety of roles on the day of the event itself.
Donating new or gently used hats, coats, jackets, sweatpants, gloves, and scarves for Emma’s Closet, a clothing closet that respects the dignity of choice for our guests. Donations are accepted on Sunday mornings in the Atrium through Sunday, October 20.
Purchasing items from our Amazon wish list to donate to our guests to make them a little more comfortable this winter.
Stopping by the Youth Bake Sale in the Atrium for treats that taste good and will help us to do good. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and more will be available on Sunday mornings throughout the fall. All proceeds will be used to buy warm coats for our neighbors attending the Homeless Requiem.
Making a donation to help fund this event and year-round Cathedral ministries that support our unhoused neighbors.
Scan the QR codes to donate and volunteer or visit cathedralATL.org/homelessrequiem to learn more. For questions, please contact the Rev. Canon Julia Mitchener, julia.mitchener@cathedralATL.org.

OCTOBER BOOK STUDY
Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond Cathedral Bookstore
6-7 p.m., Thursdays, beginning October 3
Join us in the Cathedral Bookstore each Thursday evening in October for a discussion of Matthew Desmond’s Pulitzer Prize winning title Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Named one of Time Magazine’s best ten nonfiction books of the past decade, Evicted follows eight Milwaukee families as they each struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Desmond transforms our societal understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while offering new ideas for addressing one of America’s most devastating problems.
COST OF POVERTY EXPERIENCE (COPE)
Thursday, October 17
10 a.m.–12 p.m., Child Hall
In partnership with BCM Georgia, the Cathedral will be offering a Cost of Poverty Experience: an immersive poverty simulation designed to offer a glimpse into the lives of lowincome individuals and families living in our communities.
COPE gives participants and volunteers an opportunity to experience poverty firsthand through the eyes of real families. The experiential nature of this training helps organizations and communities more deeply understand the complexities of poverty, paving the way for addressing the issues of poverty more comprehensively. There will be time for reflection and discussion on what we can do as a faith community to support our community after the simulation.
Lunch will also be provided after the COPE.
We'd love to have you join us for this free event as we prepare for the Homeless Requiem. Our goal is to support low income families and those experiencing homelessness by better understanding the root causes of poverty and engaging with individuals with empathy and hospitality. We hope you, too, will find this experience engaging and thought provoking. Please visit cathedralATL.org/cope to register. Questions? Contact the Rev. Canon Julia Mitchener, julia.mitchener@cathedralATL.org.
All are welcome to join in these discussions, which will run from 6-7 p.m. beginning Thursday, October 3. For more information or to sign up, please contact the Rev. Canon Julia Mitchener, julia.mitchener@cathedralATL.org. Copies of the book will be available for purchase in the bookstore.
HURRICANE RELIEF FUND
Episcopal Relief and Development works with an extensive network of faith-based and secular partners to provide aid after natural disasters.
