Mass Announcements
December 14, 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.
This weekend we are collecting for the Retirement Fund for Religious. Your generosity will support the men and women who have served those in need. You can drop your envelope in the basket or make a donation online. Additional information and the donation link can be found in the Bulletin.
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 also 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.
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.
Join us after the Saturday 5 pm Mass for our Christmas Tree lighting. We will sing Christmas Carols and have cookies and hot chocolate. All are welcome.
Today we celebrate the Third Sunday of Advent. The readings for today’s Mass begin on page 809 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.
