St. Mark and St. Luke Parish

Mass and Confession at St. Mark will take place in the church once again, rather than the social hall.

Coffee and donuts will be provided in the social hall, following 9 am Mass tomorrow morning.

Exciting News! Fr. Augusty has decided that it’s time for a new pictorial church directory. Our dates for photography will be: October 16, 17, & 18 2025.

or use the sign-up sheets in the church.

Order forms are due to be returned by Sunday August 24 2025, so be sure to pick up a form if you haven’t already! The forms are available in the St. Mark social hall, the office, and at St. Luke by the organ.

Thank you for your support!

Just a reminder: Mass at St. Mark during August is still at the usual times but will be held in the Social Hall. Construction in the Sanctuary is expected to be finished in early September and Masses will return to the Church!

Mass livestreams from St. Mark will resume when Mass returns to the church. In the meantime, if you are looking for a Mass livestream, check out our Diocese’ St. Patrick Cathedral YouTube site:

Please call the parish office if you’d like to volunteer. We need help welcoming moviegoers and serving refreshments.

This Sunday EVEYONE is invited to join us after the 9AM Mass for a family of family breakfast, celebrating our Grandparents! Hope to see you there!

Pope Francis has established the World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly to be celebrated every year on the fourth Sunday of July. The choice of the fourth Sunday of July is transparently to connect it, as closely as possible, to the July 26 feast of Saint Joachim and Anne, the parents of Mary and grandparents of Jesus. This link to Jesus’ family tree and to salvation history suggests that everyone’s genealogy and personal prehistory is part of the providential plan of God. Family is priceless, and the role of grandparents is truly one of a kind. With a lifetime of experience and wisdom, they offer guidance, laughter, and love, making them some of  the most treasured members of  any family, and that’s why cherishing time with them is so important.
