16th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Gospel: Mark 6:30-34
The crowds are relentless in pursuing Jesus and the disciples.
They do not even give them time to rest. What, however, are the crowds really pursuing?
And what is it that Jesus begins to teach them?
Jesus knows there is more to satisfying human needs than miracles.
Physical healing is a sign of salvation, an invitation to take up a new way of thinking and living.
Jesus responds to the crowd as their healer, yes.
But even more he reveals himself to be their Shepherd and Teacher who challenges the crowd about what they are truly to pursue.

Dear Fr. Paul and St. Mark’s Parish community,
We hope that you all are doing well and enjoying the summer!
We are pleased to share with you the photos of the Tinum Parish’s pick-up truck. The purchase of this was finally completed on our Patron Saint’s Day—Saint Anthony, which made this extra special for us as our community celebrate our Patron’s Day with much devotion. The total cost of the truck was $170.000 MX pesos.
Please know that we are more than grateful for your support in this project, it was a long but, rewarding process to raise the money for this very need vehicle. Be assured of our continue prayers for you all.
May God bless you always,
Your Sister Parish,
