Mass Announcements
August 16, 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.
Today we joyfully celebrate the 17th anniversary of the dedication of our parish church. Because the Anniversary of the Dedication of a Church is a Solemnity here at St. Mark, it takes the place of the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time and has its own readings and prayers. Please follow today’s readings in the special Mass program.
As part of our anniversary celebration, you’ll also notice some rocking chairs outside church this weekend with the words “Saint Mark Rocks.” They’re there for you, so have a seat, take a picture and enjoy them as we celebrate our parish.
Construction on the drive and parallel parking behind the Kerin Center continues. Please use other parking areas and keep the exit drive clear. Please also do not park in the Adoration spaces, they are for scheduled adorers only.
Faith Formation Registration for Kindergarten through 8th Grade closes Tuesday, August 25. This includes sacraments classes for First Communion and Confirmation. Classes will begin next weekend, August 30 and September 1. Additional details are in the Bulletin.
Join us for the 2026 Eucharistic Congress on September 11 and 12 at the Charlotte Convention Center. St. Mark t-shirts can be purchased for those attending. The deadline for purchasing t-shirts is today.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians will be selling raffle tickets outside after Mass today. The grand prize is up to $5,000 toward a trip to Ireland or $3,000 cash, with additional cash prizes. Tickets are $25 each or five for $100. Please stop by their table after Mass or see the bulletin for more information.
All teens are welcome to Life Teen after the Sunday 5 pm Mass. Dinner will be provided.
Please welcome speakers from Fraternus and Fidelis to share information about their youth ministries.
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.
