Announcement from Fr Jason
March 2023
The next two corporal works of mercy involve visiting those who are less fortunate. We visit the sick and visit the imprisoned. Visiting the sick and the imprisoned are ways that we can bring the hope of Christ of those who are in such great need. Both those who are sick and in-prisoned suffer from isolation. The rest of society has quarantined them and there is minimal human contact. Visiting prisoners in detention centers might not be the easiest thing to do. However, there are many elderly people in nursing homes who feel like they are in-prisoned. Indeed, there bodies keep them from interacting isolating them from the outside world. Moreover, sadly many of the patients in these homes do not have many visits from their families. You could be that visitor.
St Marianne Cope was part of the Sisters of St. Francis in New York in the late 1800’s. She heard the call of the king of Hawaii to come to Hawaii and minister to those people suffering from leprosy. She went with her sisters and established two hospitals. Eventually, she moved with her sisters to Molokai where she continued to minister to those with leprosy including St. Damien of Molokai. She never contracted the diseased but showed us heroic virtue in serving those who were sick.
What could you do? Donate bibles to a prison or be part of a prison ministry. Visit a nursing home or spend some time with an elderly neighbor. Volunteer at a hospital. Run errands for the homebound or assist the caregivers of those chronically sick family members. Be part of our Corpus Christi, Mother Theresa, or Stephen ministries. Perhaps you could give blood to help those who are sick.
Meet Krista Hayes
NEW Coordinator of Evangelization [English]
Welcome Krista
We would like to welcome Krista Hayes, the new Coordinator of Evangelization, to our parish staff. Although Krista started Monday, she has been on the team for the Rite of Christian Initiation [RCIA], since September with her husband. Krista will be coordinating the parishes' evangelization efforts for adults. This includes fostering conversion and growth in discipleship among parishioners and equipping them to evangelize by witness, word and action….no small undertaking in a parish this size.
Please join us in welcoming Krista to St. Mark and if you would like to share your thoughts and ideas, she can be reached by email at khayes@stmarkplano.org.
Bishop Edward J. Burns Offers Dispensation
for St. Patrick's Day
With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Lenten Friday this year, His Excellency Bishop Edward J. Burns has issued a dispensation from abstinence on March 17, allowing the faithful to enjoy the American Irish tradition of eating corned beef (or ham) and cabbage in good conscience. Please visit The Texas Catholic to read more about this or click on the PDF below.
In the announcement, Bishop Burns noted that Catholics are not required to utilize the dispensation and may continue the laudable practice of abstaining from meat on this Friday of Lent. If one chooses to make use of this dispensation, he or she is strongly encouraged, though not required, to alternate or substitute another penance in place of abstinence from meat.

Funeral Information for + Catherine [Kay] Hogan
Monday, March 20, at 10:00am
Catherine Teresa Dougherty Hogan peacefully passed away on March 8, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.
Catherine (Kay, Kate) was born on June 24, 1926, in Philadelphia, PA to James and Ann Dougherty. She attended Little Flower Grade School where she met James Edward Hogan in 6th grade and then graduated from Little Flower High School. Kay worked at Western Union until Jim finished college and started his career at UPS. Living in Pennsylvania and Texas where they made many lifelong friends, Jim and Kay had six daughters and were married for 66 years until Jim’s death in 2013.
Kay welcomed everyone with open arms and always made them feel part of the family. Holding on to her characteristic clarity and warmth, she felt blessed to have a chance to see or speak to her entire immediate family and many of her extended family and friends during her final weeks.
Kay lived a full life to the end, willing to go anywhere to enjoy time with her children, grandchildren, friends, and large extended family. She loved gathering people together for any occasion or none, babysitting, traveling, giving gifts, cards, sweets, and herself to family and friends, shopping, making sure everything matched, playing games (especially trivia) and volunteering. Always kind, she had a gift for making those around her feel special and loved. Kay had a strong, beautiful faith, and she was very involved at St. Mark The Evangelist Catholic Church in Plano, TX. She was a strong supporter of the Serra Club, Catholic Charities, St. Vincent De Paul and the Knights of Columbus as well as numerous other charities and schools through her children and grandchildren.
A Rosary Service will be held for Kay on Sunday, March 19, at 7:00 pm at Sparkman Funeral Home, 1029 South Greenville Ave., Richardson, TX, 75081. A Vigil will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, March 20, 2023, followed by a 10:00 am Mass at St. Mark The Evangelist Catholic Church, 1201 Alma Dr. Plano, TX 75075. A reception will follow nearby at the St. Mark Parish Center, 1105 W 15th Street, Plano, TX 75075.

+JOAN and LEO HEITING MEMORIAL MASS
Friday, March 24, at 10:00am
The Memorial Mass for + Joan Heiting and Leo Heiting is scheduled for March 24, at 10:00am. Joan and Leo were deeply involved in St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church and cherished serving the St. Mark community and the relationships cultivated over a lifetime.
Joan Katherine Heiting, age 85, of Richardson, Texas passed away on Tuesday, December 13, 2022. Joan was born to John and Wilberta Jelinski of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. While attending Marquette University, she met her loving husband of 64 years. After graduation, they relocated to Dallas, Texas and raised their family. Joan began teaching at Aldridge Elementary School, and simultaneously continued her education at TWU where she obtained her master’s and doctorate degrees. She then transitioned to the role of principal, overseeing the opening of new schools in the Plano School District. Her greatest pleasures were her children and serving the community through education and faith for generations to come.
Leo Norbert Heiting, 87, of Summerville, SC, joined his Father in heaven on August 10, 2021, after a long courageous battle with Alzheimer’s. Leo was born to the late Francis and Marcella Heiting. He joined the Air Force and served in the Korean War. Later Leo attended Marquette University where he met Joan, his loving wife of 64 years. After graduation, he accepted a job with Texas Instruments, and relocated to Dallas, Texas in 1959. Leo had a rich and fulfilling career at TI. He worked first as an engineer where he eventually supported efforts with the space program, and later as a patent attorney helping TI establish new industry standards.

Cargo on input received from other St. Mark parishioners on how things are going in the Parish.
One of the primary functions of the Parish Council is to listen to the Parishioners on subjects pertaining to all aspects of St. Mark Parish life (liturgy, evangelization, faith formation, parish life and liturgical ministries, community, facilities and St. Mark Catholic school). The Council welcomes your input. There are two methods to submit a suggestion, comment or a question. One is to send your ideas via email to parishcouncil@stmarkplano.org and the second is to put your comments in the Suggestion Box located in the Narthex.
The Saint Mark Parish Council is excited to serve our parishioners. Please feel free to walk up to a Parish Council member after any Mass or other Parish functions and talk to us about your concerns. The Parish Council members will be wearing a white badge with green letters. Members of the Saint Mark Parish Pastoral Council will be in the Narthex after Mass the weekend of March 25/26. They are eager to meet you and take your comments and suggestions regarding all aspects of life at St Marks. Please take a couple of minutes to meet the Parish Council members.
Together, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can do great things!

Anuncio del Padre Jason
Marzo 2023
Las dos siguientes obras de misericordia corporales consisten en visitar a los menos afortunados. Visitamos a los enfermos y visitamos a los presos. Visitar a los enfermos y a los encarcelados es una manera de llevar la esperanza de Cristo a los más necesitados. Tanto los enfermos como los encarcelados sufren aislamiento. El resto de la sociedad los ha puesto en cuarentena y el contacto humano es mínimo. Visitar a los presos en los centros de detención puede no ser lo más fácil. Sin embargo, hay muchos ancianos en residencias de ancianos que se sienten como si estuvieran encarcelados. De hecho, sus cuerpos les impiden interactuar y les aíslan del mundo exterior. Además, por desgracia, muchos de los pacientes de estas residencias no reciben muchas visitas de sus familiares. Usted podría ser esa visita.
Santa Marianne Cope formaba parte de las Hermanas de San Francisco en Nueva York a finales del siglo XIX. Escuchó la llamada del rey de Hawai para ir a Hawai y atender a los enfermos de lepra. Fue con sus hermanas y fundó dos hospitales. Con el tiempo, se trasladó con sus hermanas a Molokai, donde continuó atendiendo a los enfermos de lepra, incluido San Damián de Molokai. Nunca contrajo la enfermedad, pero nos mostró una virtud heroica al servir a los enfermos.
¿Qué puedes hacer tú? Donar biblias a una prisión o formar parte de un ministerio carcelario. Visita una residencia de ancianos o pasa algún tiempo con un vecino mayor. Hazte voluntario en un hospital. Hacer recados para los que no pueden salir de casa o ayudar a los cuidadores de los familiares enfermos crónicos. Participe en nuestros ministerios del Corpus Christi, Madre Teresa o Esteban. Quizás puedas donar sangre para ayudar a los enfermos.

¡La luz está encendida para ti!
Miercoles 29 de marzo y 5 de abril
La Reconciliación (también conocida como Confesión o Penitencia) es un sacramento instituido por Jesucristo en su amor y misericordia para ofrecer a los pecadores el perdón por las ofensas cometidas contra Dios. Este año, La Luz encendida para ti está programada para el 29 de marzo y el 5 de abril, 6:00pm-9:00pm.
En la Reconciliación, reconocemos nuestros pecados ante Dios y su Iglesia. Expresamos nuestro dolor de manera significativa, recibimos el perdón de Cristo y de su Iglesia, reparamos lo que hemos hecho y resolvemos hacerlo mejor en el futuro. Más información sobre La luz está encendida para ti, una iniciativa de Cuaresma parroquias de toda la Diócesis de Dallas están abiertas para la oración en silencio o la reconciliación.
La Luz está encendida, y Jesús te está esperando. La Adoración Eucarística se ofrecerá en el Santuario Principal de 6:00 - 9:00 PM mientras se lleva a cabo la confesión. Ven y déjate amar.
