St. Mark's Students:

Because of a lack of RSVP's, we are going to cancel tonight's St. Mark's Parent Wine and Cheese event.  I will be around for Mass tomorrow evening at 5:00pm, so if any parents want to come to the Saturday vigil Mass at 5:00pm, I will be delighted to meet them just following Mass.  Since we are not hosting the wine and cheese event tonight, Adoration of the + Blessed Sacrament + and Confessions will follow today's daily mass from 5:45pm-6:45pm.

I am happy to hear that we have 45 students attending next week's SEARCH retreat!  If you have not yet done so, please try to make your $50 payment today at the parish office.  We are open until 5:00pm today.  We accept credit cards and checks.  If you are paying with cash, please bring exact change.

College men, have you ever thought about wearing the habit of St. Francis of Assisi and serving as a friar?  This Sunday, November 6th, we welcome the OFM, Capuchins from the San Lorenzo Seminary in Santa Ynez.  Several friars will be here for the 7:00pm Mass to talk about their own experiences with religious life and to outline the necessary vocational steps to becoming a friar. Welcome caps!

Hope you are having a fantastic and blessed Friday,

Fr. John Love
