Mass Announcements
August 24, 2025
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.
Our reception desk is staffed from 8:15 to 12:15 on Sunday mornings to answer questions and provide support as needed.
The Faith Formation department is still in need of Catechists and Adult volunteers for Sunday Morning and Monday Evening Programs. These classes are how the Church helps form many of our children in the faith, and prepares our youth to receive the Sacraments. These programs cannot happen without your help! Elementary Catechists, as well as Middle School and Confirmation Small Group leaders are needed for programs on both Sunday mornings and Monday evening. Please contact Sarah Rider, or any of our Faith Formation staff. Contact information can be found on the Parish Directory page of the bulletin.
Altar Server training is available for new servers, grade 4 and up. It will be held after the Sunday 5 pm Mass this week. Please join us at 6:30 pm in the church.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians, an Irish Catholic men’s organization, will be selling raffle tickets after Mass. The grand prize is a $5,000 Guided Vacation through Ireland, or $3,000 in cash. There are also second and third place cash prizes. Tickets are $25 each, or 5 for $100, and payments may be made in cash, check, or credit card. The drawing will take place on November 29th. This year we will also offer an online option to purchase tickets.
Please welcome a member of the Healed and Restored Foundation to tell you about their organization and upcoming event.
Today we celebrate 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time. The readings for today’s Mass begin on page 1180 in your Hymnal. Please return your music 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.
