The Archdiocese of Atlanta will hold the grand opening of the Catholic Chancery Aug. 24 in Smyrna.
The chancery, the administrative office of Atlanta Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory, recently expanded because of the continued growth of the Catholic population in the archdiocese. The diocese of Atlanta was established in 1956 and was elevated to the status of archdiocese in 1962. The Catholic population in the archdiocese is currently 950,000.
The opening will include a exhibit by award-winning photographer Michael Alexander, who works for The Georgia Bulletin. Alexander's work documents the history and cultural heritage of the archdiocese. The grand opening will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 2401 Lake Park Dr. S.E.
