Welcome to St. Mark - St. James Parish

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The commandments to love God with all one's heart and to love one's neighbor as oneself
are the heart and soul of Christian morality.
These commands point out the path toward true human fulfillment and happiness.
They are not arbitrary restrictions on human freedom.
Only active love of God and neighbor makes the fullness of community happen.
Christians look forward in hope to a true communion among all persons with each other and with God.

The ALL SOULS REMEMBRANCE Book

Is in the back of the church for you to write the names of your deceased loved ones
to be remembered during the month of November.

The book will be place near the altar in the sanctuary during November.

For more information on the upcoming election, and on educating ourselves on key issues,

THE MOST HOLY ROSARY

is recited daily at St. Mark during the month of October @ 4:15 PM. Please join us.

Archbishop José H. Gomez, president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops,

encourages all to turn to Mary as a messenger of hope, especially in the time of

chaos in our nation. He encourages us to pray to rosary…. “take the moment of prayer for our

nation, at a time when there is so much unrest and uncertainty,” the Archbishop said.
