Each year on December 1, the global community observes World AIDS Day. As a participant in this global observance, the Archdiocese of Atlanta annually celebrates World AIDS Day Mass. This liturgy is a chance for people from across the Archdiocese to come together in community, remembering and praying for those we have lost due to HIV/AIDS and those currently living with HIV/AIDS; their families, friends and caretakers; those who work to find a cure and those who work to bring about just programs and systems associated with HIV/AIDS.
We are honored to host the 2019 World AIDS Day Mass here at IHM on Sunday, December 1, at 5:00 p.m. Bishop Bernard E. Shlesinger III will preside. An ASL interpreter will be present to sign the Mass. A reception will follow in the lower level. All are invited to attend.
