RCIA INQUIRY SESSIONS

Do you know someone who has expressed an interest in the Catholic faith?  Why not invite and bring them to our Inquiry Session that begins on Monday evening, January 30 at 6:30 pm in O’Connell Hall.

Fr. Paul and the RCIA Team will provide an introduction to the process of becoming Catholic.  This session will be for adults and also for parents of children, age 7 and older, who need Baptism or seek conversion to the Catholic faith.  When you extend this invitation, please tell them there is no commitment required and we welcome anyone who is interested.

PRAYER SHAWLS – Many thanks to all who made prayer shawls.   They are all so beautiful and unique!   Recipients of the shawls feel loved and appreciated, but more shawls are needed.   If you can help please call June @ 486-1745 or Pat Martin @ 486-1990.  Monetary donations to help defray the cost may be marked “prayer shawl” and dropped in the collection basket.         Thank you.

St. Mark and St. James Parish glorify and model the life of Jesus Christ on our spiritual journey to salvation bringing the community to greater holiness through participation in the sacramental life with a willingness to share time, talent, and treasure.

We at St. Mark/St. James glorify Jesus Christ as we..

  • Pursue full and active participation rather than presume regular faith practice of our members.
  • React to the changing conditions of the local Catholic Community.
  • Strive first and foremost for Spiritual renewal in every committee, organization, or activity.
  • Build belonging for the various age groups, personalities, genders, and states of life.
  • Invite the occasional and nominal back to their spiritual home.
  • Serve the needs of the greater community.
