Flu season has hit Atlanta hard, claiming the life of Father John Howren—a priest known for his kindness, music, and deep devotion. Parishioners at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus gathered to honor his memory, remembering how his voice and warmth touched so many. What’s especially shocking is that Father John was healthy and active, showing how unpredictable and dangerous this year’s flu can be. With 46 flu-related deaths in Georgia since October, it’s a sobering reminder to take extra care. How has the flu impacted your family or community this season? #Religion #Atlanta #Community
