Mass Announcements
December 21, 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.
We ask that no one park in the drop off areas outside the right and left transepts. This is a safety issue, and these areas must be kept clear for emergency vehicles.
Our Christmas Mass schedule can be found in the Bulletin this week. Please note that the 4:30 Christmas Eve Mass is our busiest Mass of the year. Many arrive early, and the parking lot will fill completely. Once the parking lot is full, it will be closed. We will have two Masses on Christmas Eve at Christ the King High School, as well as other Masses in the Church on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
There will be no 7 am or 9 am daily Mass on Wednesday, December 24, so that we can prepare the church for Christmas.
There will be no Confessions on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
The Office and Kerin Center building will be closed from Tuesday through Friday next week.
After Mass today, the Knights of Columbus will be distributing information on preparing your family for the Consecration to the Holy Family. Each family is encouraged to take one and prepare for the Consecration that will take place at Masses next weekend for the Feast of the Holy Family.
We are grateful for our parishioners’ generous donations of non-perishable food in our Narthex bin. Please do not leave clothing or household items in the bin. These will be taken to Goodwill.
All high schoolers are invited to youth group in the Parish Hall this Sunday from 6-8 pm. Dinner is provided.
Today we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent. The readings for today’s Mass begin on page 813 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.
