How do we love well?
It's always in the practice of loving that we can get better and better.
Here is one simple way you and your family can practice putting your love in action this month.
Extend the Grace
When blessing your food before a meal, take a few extra seconds to bless the hands that helped bring the food forth from the earth to the market, into your kitchen, and onto your plate. It will help open our eyes to all of the people we serve and who serve us on a daily basis. Even though we may never have the pleasure of thanking these people face-to-face, surely, we can still give thanks to God for their efforts. What a blessing that God built us for community and service!
We are excited to announce a parish-wide Fall Dinner and Dance that will be held on Saturday, October 8th from 5PM until 10PM in the Parish Hall at St. Mark. This event is being sponsored by the Catholic Daughters and Knights of Columbus of our parish. All proceeds will go to local charities such as Youth on Their Own, Pio Decimo, and Reachout Women’s Center which our organizations support.
Tickets for this event will be $15.00 per person which will include snacks, a lasagna dinner, and one free drink. Tickets will be sold during “Disciples in Action” weekend before and after all Masses on September 10th and 11th in the parish courtyard, via Flocknote to sign up and pay at the door. We will also have some beautiful baskets to raffle off. Please join us for an evening of fun and fellowship. Don’t forget your dancing shoes! To RSVP for this event at Fall Dinner and Dance

Are you someone or do you know someone who... Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic? Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist? The St. Mark Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) program will be starting up in September. RCIA offers an opportunity to come together in a small group setting to learn more about our faith. The sessions focus on the teachings and experience of our faith and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist during the Easter season. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, insights and your faith story in a warm and accepting setting. For more information, please contact Paul Guertin via email at seekers@stmarkov.com, or call the St. Mark parish office at 520-469-7835 ext. 305
