2022 (virtual) Baby Bottle campaign

During the month of June, especially as we celebrate Father’s Day, you are invited to join in the good work of Next Step Pregnancy Services in a virtual Baby Bottle campaign! Our goal for this campaign is $5,000 – all proceeds will help to ensure that Next Step Pregnancy Services can continue to serve families and women facing unplanned pregnancies. Though it begins on the weekend of June 11th & 12th, please feel free to donate as – and when! – you are able.

Rosary and funeral Mass for Joseph Burke (June 2, 2022)

This Thursday (June 2, 2022), we will offer a rosary (10:30 am) and celebrate a funeral Mass (11:00 am) for Joseph Burke – all are welcome. The family has prepared an obituary, accessible online here.

Let us pray together for Joseph, his wife Carol (who preceded him in death), their three children, and all who love them. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

You are cordially invited to a Saint Mark parish leader’s luncheon on Saturday, June 11 10:30 am (after Mass) to 1:00 pm in Sullivan Hall.

Come meet with fellow parishioners about creating new ministries & groups and/or renew old ones! Our goal is simple: to give like-minded parishioners an opportunity to connect, strategize, and be empowered to build up ministry & fraternity at Saint Mark parish.

Please bring drinks, a side dish, or a dessert – Saint Mark parish will provide sandwich platters. Sign-up is required – this will help plan food needs and connect participants with shared interests. The sign-up link is available by clicking here.

This Thursday (May 26, 2022), we will celebrate a memorial Mass (11:00 am) for Vilma (Wil) Klein – all are welcome. The family has prepared an obituary, accessible online at this link.

Let us pray together for Vilma, her first husband Jim and second husband Leo (both of whom preceded her in death) and her daughters Mary & Jane now and in the days to come. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Peace,
Saint Mark parish
