So from my earlier post you would know that I'm on the road this week and we have made our first stop in the Atlanta suburbs. I have vactioned only once here and most of my experience with Atlanta is I got to get thru it to get from home to the home of my first born. Atlanta always conjures up thoughts of all things Falcons and well, you know, we Saints fans really hate the Falcons. All in good natured sportsmanship; the Saints/Falcons rivalry is one of the best in the entire NFL.
As I find myself with a little more time on my hands in a nice comfortable hotel room I thought I would do a little digging around the website of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Almost everything I know about Catholics in the Atlanta area comes from my opportunities to listen in to the radio show The Catholics Next Door, on Sirius/XM radio. I am very familiar with the Archbishop, Willton Gregory, from his time as head of the USCCB.
From the website I was able to ascertain that the Archdiocese has 101 church parishes in 10 deaneries with about 25 Archdiocesan Catholic schools. The Cathedral, in downtown Atlanta, is named for Christ the King.
Instead of picking out points of interest throughout the Archdiocese of Atlanta, here is the link to their website:

Hopefully, over the next few days perhaps some info on the Dioceses of Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham and Birmingham, Al.
