Saint Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church Marian Consecration
Begins November 5th, 2021
Saint Mark the Evangelist would like to do a Parish-wide consecration to Mary on December 8, 2021, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Total consecration to Jesus through Mary is the goal of this 33 day preparation. Everyone is invited to participate.
Beginning November 5th, a reflection and a prayer will be available at https://sites.google.com/stmarkrc.org/event/33-days-reflections.
This will continue each day for the 33 day period leading up to December 8th. The reading can be shared with your family members and the daily prayer prayed within your home. We hope that this will be a blessing to you and/or your family as we journey through the 33 days together.
If you need any clarification, please contact Mary Beth Crumly directly at familyfaith@stmarkrc.org or 205-980-1810, X 5.Thanks so much and I look forward to the 33-day journey and consecration December 8th!

Epiphany Pageant
On Sunday, January 9th, 2022, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord. This feast concludes the Christmas season. Beginning a new tradition, we would like to incorporate the Christmas pageant (which was previously performed at Christmas Eve Children’s Mass) into an Epiphany pageant and bring the Christmas season to a close for the parish on this important feast day. It will take place the evening of January 9th at 5:30 pm and be followed by supper in the PLC social hall. All are invited to attend.
If your child would like to participate in the pageant, and/or you would like to help in the production of the pageant, please click this link - https://forms.gle/uR4DTLaFQ3zRFNrW6
The book A Well-Built Faith—creatively developed around a construction theme—makes it easy for Catholics to know what they believe and to feel confident in sharing those beliefs. This book by master teacher Joe Paprocki follows the structure of the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer), making it a wonderful resource for learning about the Catholic faith. Highly informative and very fun at the same time, the book will be shared by small groups in the Parish Life Center from 9:15-10:15 am, from January 9 through February 13. Please sign up by December 17 for the lively sharing and so that your book can be ordered. Email Sr. Madeline at SrMadeline@stmarkrc.org, giving your name and phone number.

PARISH SCHOOL OF RELIGION (PSR)
9:00 am - 10:15 am in the Youth Center
...
Beginning in fall of 2021, children are to be enrolled in religious education classes the year prior to the year of sacramental reception. This means if a child is to receive First Communion in Grade 2, they are to be enrolled in Grade 1 Parish School of Religion. The same holds true for Confirmation. If your child is to be confirmed in the 9th grade, they are to be enrolled in 8th Grade PSR.
***The Goal of the Saint Mark Parish School Of Religion is to support and assist Parents in the faith journey of their children. Parents, by word and example, are the primary teachers of their children.
We offer the opportunity for faith to come alive for our children through knowledge, prayer and the sacraments. We strive to assist our children in committing themselves to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Saint Mark provides religious education for four year old through 9th grade in the Youth Center.
Sunday 4 yrs to 8th grade 9:00 A.M. to 10:15 A.M. Wednesday 9th Grade Confirmation Class 7:00 P.M. to 8:15 P.M.
