Upcoming and Announcements

Feast of the Ascension, Thursday, May 14 at 7 p.m.
Ascension Day is one of the major feasts of the church year, when we remember our Lord’s ascension to the right hand of the Father, where even now he reigns. We will keep this feast with a Choral High Mass at 7 p.m., followed by a potluck; please bring something to share.

Thursday Coffee Gathering, May 14 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.

Modified Parish Office Schedule, Monday, May 25
The Parish Office will be closed on Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day. There will be Low Mass at 10 a.m., but no other liturgies or programming.

Food Cupboard Volunteers Wanted
With the weather warming up, Saint Mark’s Food Cupboard has seen a surge in clients and is looking for new volunteers to help meet demand. Volunteers assist with packing groceries, lifting and organizing boxes, and managing lines. Volunteers are needed on Thursdays and Fridays between 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact Antonia Benson with your availability.

Usher Guild Volunteers Needed
We are currently seeking volunteers to help grow our team of ushers. As the first point of contact for many who enter our doors, ushers play a vital role in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere at Saint Mark’s. They greet and assist worshipers on Sundays and feast days, offer support to those in need, distribute leaflets, record attendance, and collect the offering. If you would like to be a part of this great ministry and help others feel at home and welcomed, we invite you to join us. Please see Joe Hogan after Mass.
