Blessing of Rosaries
The Legion of Mary distributed rosaries they made to parishioners at the Blessing of our Lady of Lourdes grotto last Sunday.
The rosaries were blessed by Fr. Angel at the First Saturday mass on December 3.
The Legion of Mary led by Rita Venema has graciously accepted “custodianship” of the grotto. Future services and events at the Grotto will be announced soon.
“Abandon yourself into the hands of Mary and she will take care of you.”– Rita Venema
Coats for Kids
Two of St Mark’s larger Ministries – the Knights of Columbus and the Saint Vincent de Paul – recently embarked on a joint Coats for Kids Outreach Project. The Knights supplied twenty-four Youth coats to the children of families served by St Vincent de Paul. Members of both ministries jointly handed out these coats to the lesser fortunate children. This brought huge smiles and thanks from the children and their parents.
Christmas Card Drive for Incarcerated Persons in SF County Jails
Last Sunday, our Grade 1-4 CCD kids and High School Youth Ministry teens created handmade Christmas Cards for the Christmas Card Drive for Incarcerated Persons in SF County Jails, which is a call to action by our Archdiocese of SF. This program is also called the “Cards of Mercy”, as it is a way to reach out to those in prison with messages of kindness and love.
As stated on the Archdiocese website, “This action is one way to live the Works of Mercy…Through these letters, our incarcerated sisters and brothers will know that they are not forgotten and that God’s love and mercy extend to them.”
Advent Recollection – December 10
The Recollection is an opportunity this season to set aside time to listen, reflect, pray and be present to God.
Fr. Nicholas Case will lead the Recollection. He is a parochial vicar at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Burlingame and is priest-chaplain for Junipero Serra High School. Ordained in 2021, he completed theological studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome.
Sign up below or in church. Lunch is provided.
Presenting… Sam Kauffman
We take pleasure in presenting the internationally known Christian singer and songwriter, Sam Kauffman who will present FOUR CANDLES, an exciting and inspiring program.
