On Tuesday, January 18th, we celebrate the 41st anniversary of the Dedication of the Altar and Church of St. Mark the Evangelist. Dedication is the act of consecrating an altar, church, or chapel for sacred use. In our altar, the relics of the St. Norbert, St. Verecundus and St. Illuminata are sealed. The Catholic Church regards this feast as the highest rank of celebration, a solemnity. In honor of this special day, we will hold a Solemn Vespers Service in our sanctuary at 7:00 pm. We hope to see you there!

New Bible Study: Philippians
January 16, 2022
Philippians: Life in Christ
Toward the end of his life, under arrest and awaiting trial in Rome, Saint Paul writes a short but powerful letter to the Philippians. The Philippians were not only Paul's sons and daughters in the Faith but also his partners in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At the heart of this letter is Paul's eloquent hymn of Christ's total gift of self, the model for Paul's life. With his words and the example of his life, Paul exhorts the Philippians to have the mind of Christ, to live a life worthy of the Gospel, and, by God's grace, to gain Christ.
WHEN: Sundays from 10am - 12pm starting January 16
WHERE: In person or via Zoom
COST: $10 for the Study Guide
CONTACT: Dean at ksjhawk@swbell.net or call or text him at 972-742-1653.
