LAY MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY ATLANTA: The Lay Missionaries of Charity (LMC) is an international movement within the Order of the Missionaries of Charity (MC) of St. Teresa of Kolkata. It is made up of laypeople, married and single, who adhere to the spirit (humility, total abandonment, and child-like trust in God) and charism of the MC family, and whose lives are marked by prayers and joyful sacrifices beginning within their own families. The general end of the LMC is to quench the thirst of Jesus on the cross for love and souls, and its mission is to work for the salvation and sanctification of members, their own families and of the poorest of the poor. For more information visit www.laymc.com. Contact: Eric and Zarah at eaf1437@gmail.com and zfedf07@gmail.com or 404-543-6068 and 404-663-8519. Posted: December 12th, 2019
