Mass Announcements

November 1, 2026

Good evening/morning! Welcome to Saint Mark Catholic Church! We are happy to have you here. Please know that the staff is praying for you and your family daily.

If you have an allergy or need a special accommodation for Communion, please go to the sacristy before Mass and speak with the sacristan.  Also, please be sure to consume the Holy Eucharist in front of the minister of Holy Communion, before walking away.

Please note that Confessions will end after the Homily, so that all may prepare for Communion.

Our reception desk is staffed from 8:15 to 12:15 on Sunday mornings to answer questions and provide support as needed.

As you can see, for All Saints Day we have this amazing display of Relics available for veneration. These will remain until Sunday evening. We will have sung Vespers at 6:30 pm Sunday as well. Please join us.

For All Souls Day, Monday, November 2, we will have our annual Mass at the Northlake Cemetery at 12:10 pm. All are welcome to attend to honor those we have lost. We will also have our Mass of Remembrance on Monday night at 7 pm, to remember those who have passed away in the past year. More information about both Masses can be found in the Bulletin.

Monday is the last chance to register for the Men’s Welcome Retreat! A few spaces are still available for this special opportunity for men to strengthen their faith. The Retreat is next Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8, and registration information is in the Bulletin.

Today, we are collecting for Catholic Relief Services. Your generosity helps this organization carry out the mission of the Church by aiding vulnerable families and communities around the world. Donations can be put in the basket or you donate through Online Giving.

Our Thanksgiving Food Drive concludes today. Thank you for your generosity in donating Thanksgiving Food items to those of our parish who in need.

The Christmas Giving Tree program starts today! Donation ornaments will be available in the Parish Hall after Masses. We ask that gifts be returned, in a gift bag with the ornament attached, by Sunday, November 22. No time to shop? Donations can also be made through Online Giving. The QR code and link can be found in the Bulletin.

All High School students are invited to Life Teen on Sunday at 6 pm. Dinner is included.

Calling all married couples! Our Marriage Ministry invites you to our next Date Night on Saturday, November 14th, at 6 pm. The evening will focus on Gratitude in Marriage—taking time to recognize and appreciate the person God has placed beside us. Dinner is provided, along with fellowship and fun!  Childcare is available this time for a small fee. See the bulletin for more information and registration link.

We will celebrate Donut Sunday after the 7:30, 9 and 11 am Masses today.  Come to the Parish Hall after Mass and get a sweet treat.

Today we celebrate the All Saints Day. The readings for today’s Mass can be found on page 1279.

Please return your booklets at the end of Mass to the table in the Narthex.

Mass is about to begin. Let us take a few moments in silence to quiet our hearts, minds and phones so that we might reflect on the Lord’s presence and the Mystery of the Eucharist which we are about to celebrate.
