We Need You on This Mission!

Heritage is a sacred destination to seek, find and renew faith. Through beauty and history, we invite you to experience the peace and love of Christ and His Church and to share this gift with others.

A gift to Heritage will:

• Sponsor our Ministry and Service Ambassador program participants. These young people are the future of our Church!!! (total cost of $160,000 for a full year internship for four young adults).
• Sponsor clergy for "desert days" on the retreat property, to renew their relationship with Christ and His Church (total of $75,000 will sponsor 125 priests and religious for 2026).
• Finish our project to dignify the historic Purification Cemetery with expansion of community spaces, area appropriate landscaping and beautifying entrances to the church and parking area (total cost $65,000).
• Help revitalize the interior of the Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary (ca.1883), Georgia's oldest Catholic Congregation (total cost estimated at $300,000).
• Help kick-start the Sustainable Farm Project! ($10,000)

We cannot do this wonderful work without you! Gifts of all sizes are very much appreciated.

If you are able and feel called to give a substantial gift, we ask you to prayerfully consider sponsoring one of the above projects in its entirety. We are so very blessed to be part of such an extraordinary opportunity to revitalize the settlement where Catholicism began in the state of Georgia in 1790. Thank you and come visit us!

We have many projects ahead that will preserve what is holy and invite more people to encounter Christ!
