May 28, 2023 

PENTECOST SUNDAY

John 20:19-23 

One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is peace.
This peace is not a passive state of tranquility, but an empowering force that allays our fears,
urges us forth to take up Jesus’ mission, and instills in us forgiving hearts.
This peace transforms how we see ourselves, how we pursue discipleship, and how we relate to the world and one another. 
Certainly, this peace is life encompassing and enduring.
How much more so is Jesus’ gift of the Holy Spirit!

THIS WEEKEND IS 

PENTECOST SUNDAY 

DON’T FORGET TO WEAR RED 

Although it’s the conclusion of the Easter Season, it’s the beginning of the Mission of the Church.
The Holy Spirit empowers us to spread the saving news of the Risen Christ.
It’s the highest feast of the Church that deserves more attention and celebration.

Please consider making a pledge to the diocesan Catholic Service Appeal for 2023.  
St. Mark has always benefited greatly from this when we surpass the diocesan goal.
In the past year, we repaired our concrete parking lot with CSA funds.  In 2023, we will be able to water-seal the outside of the entire church.
