Don't forget this coming Thursday, December 8th is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, a Holy Day of Obligation.  Bi-Lingual Mass at St. Mark's will be celebrated at the regular 5:15pm Mass time. Wednesday, we will also celebrate the vigil of the Feast of Immaculate Conception, so you have two opportunities to make this Holy Day.

Students: please note below one last chance on Wednesday night to get a confession in before leaving town for Christmas break.

If you are hanging around I.V./UCSB past this week, please note other events here at St. Mark's as well as daily Mass, which will continue throughout the Winter break.
