Homecoming Sunday & Ministry Fair, September 7
Homecoming Sunday celebrates the return of the Boys & Girls Choir, the Parish Choir, and the richer programmatic life of the parish. Join us for a celebratory Coffee Hour following the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Masses. In conjunction with Coffee Hour, there will be a Ministry Fair in the Parish Hall. Various ministries of the parish will have stations staffed with helpful parishioners available to answer your questions and encourage you to explore new ways to become involved at Saint Mark’s. We hope to see you there, and Homecoming Sunday is the perfect time to invite someone to visit Saint Mark’s with you!

On September 9, we will be joined by Mother Dure to celebrate Mass in the Rectory Parlor. Following Mass, we will have dinner at 6:30 p.m. and then begin our discussion around 7:00 p.m. Please come ready to discuss the book of the prophet Amos and kindly bring a dish to share. We will continue our study of the minor prophets into early November.
Thursday Coffee Gathering, September 11 at 10:30 a.m.
These gatherings take place on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Thursdays each month, and are an opportunity to come together for fellowship during the week. Please join us in the Food Court at Liberty Place for coffee and conversation with fellow parishioners. To find folks, walk to the windows, turn right and you will see the less crowded area where we will be the group with a red Saint Mark’s coffee mug on our table. If you have any questions about the gathering, contact Susan McDonald.
