Our sincere thanks to everyone who took an angel off the tree and returned a gift!
Pablo delivered the gifts on Tuesday and Wednesday.
May God Bless you for your generosity!

Our St. Mark Christmas Posadas begin this evening, December 16th, and end on Christmas Eve at St Mark Church, just before the Midnight Mass. They will take place at 7:00 PM each night and at 11:00 PM on Christmas Eve. A list will be placed in the vestibule of St. Mark Church letting us know where the Posada will be celebrated.
If you can, make plans to join us at St. Mark Church for the last 2 posadas…
Monday, December 23rd @ 7:00PM and
Tuesday, December 24th @11:00PM before Midnight mass.
All are Welcome!

“Las Posadas”. The word Posada means “Inn”. It is the reenactment of Joseph and Mary’s search for a place to stay as Mary is ready to give birth to Jesus. Joseph and Mary will be welcomed into some of our parishioners’ homes with typical Christmas music, Scripture reading, reflections, and treats. Feliz Navidad!
