Thanks to your generosity St. Mark paid off the mortgage on our parish church in June. I hope you feel a sense of communal accomplishment. As we enter once more into the season where sharing our blessings is paramount in our minds and hearts, we would like to ask you again to please consider making a special tax-deductible gift to St. Mark as one of your annual year-end holiday traditions for our building fund. This year has been so hard, but we still have to prepare for our parish’s future. A new hall and classrooms are an important part of our planning. This parish will continue to grow and we need to invest in a hopeful future. To do this you can give through online giving at stmarkov.com, write a check with the notation “Building Fund” and place it in the basket at Mass, or mail the check to St. Mark Parish at P.O. Box 68650, Oro Valley, AZ 85737.
Thank you and best wishes this year coming.

Pope at Urbi et Orbi: Christmas reminds us we are all united as brothers and sisters
Pope Francis gave his traditional Christmas message and Blessing Urbi et Orbi (“To the City [of Rome] and the World”), offering words of hope and consolation, saying a birth is always a source of hope, and “this Child, Jesus, was born ‘to us’ … without any borders, privileges or exclusions.”
