Pastoral Council Positions Available

Now is the time to select new members for Saint Mark’s Pastoral Council! The Pastoral Council advises the pastor in important matters affecting the parish. We need the gifts and wisdom of those committed to upbuilding our parish community. An important qualification for membership is the ability to faithfully attend meetings. Meetings are held 10 times per year, August through May, on the first Sunday of each month after the 10:30 Mass.

Parish members may nominate other parishioners who have an interest in serving. Parishioners may also self-nominate. Please consider doing so! Nomination forms can be found at the Greeters’ Desk and completed forms can be placed in the basket on the Greeters’ Desk with deadline on March 28. Nomination forms can also be found on the website and sign up can be done electronically.

It is an exciting time to be a part of Saint Mark’s parish as a member of the Pastoral Council! If you are interested or have questions, please contact Sister Madeline or Father Bob.

Vocation Chalice

About the chalice
The Chalice was donated by Sal & Paula Marino and had been used at the Parish since the dedication of the Church Sanctuary in 2003. Pope Saint John Paul II used the Chalice during Mass in his private chapel in the Vatican and it is now considered a relic—an item used by a saint.

What happens once I sign up for it?
You will be contacted the week before you receive the Chalice. When you are at Mass, Father will call you to the front and pray over your family and give you the Chalice. You are to take the box that the Chalice is kept in and also the bag containing some information and suggested prayers.  Please help yourself to the Miraculous Medal in the bag.

You will return the Chalice after a week. You may give it to an usher or bring it to the office during office hours.

How do I sign up for it?
Pick a date and insert your information on the date unmarked.

Contact Cathy Johnson (pilgrimmta@att.net or 205 266-9685) if you have any questions.
