Dear St. Mark’s volunteers and stewards,
This year, we will have an appreciation dinner for all our parishioners (18 yrs. and older) who volunteer in our parish in various ways. Our stewardship of time, talent and treasure is part of our walk in following Jesus and is so essential and critical in the life of our parish.

Our celebration will be held on November 17th at the Brook House in Elmridge Plaza at 6 PM. It will be a cash bar and your dinner will be provided. Please have your registration in by November 6th at the latest so we can have a count and prepare for the celebration. If you have any questions, please call the office at 585-227-6824.

MESSAGE TO GRANDPARENTS
Grandparents are often faith role models and sometimes the ones who bring their grandchildren to Mass or help them prepare for receiving their sacraments. September 7th is Grandparents’ Day. To acknowledge the important role of grandparents in their families, the Roc Catholics Northwest Evangelization team has gathered some helpful resources especially for grandparents.

THE JUBILEE PRAYER
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, rekindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
