Giving Tree
It's planning time again, for St Mark's Giving Tree ministry! We would once again like to coordinate support to assist the following groups for Christmas:
The top priority will be St Mark's parishioner families who could use help this year with Christmas gifts.
Tags, describing the specific gift needs, are hung up in the Narthex. Gifts should be purchased and turned in before and after Masses on Dec 3-4, or during the weeks before that in the office.
Advent at St. Mark's!
Children's and Youth Faith Formation registration is now open!
COVID has disrupted many on their sacramental journey. We are here for you!
Need Baptism? First Holy Communion? Confirmation? Marriage in the Church?
Contact: St. Mark's Parish Office at 208-375-6651.
Contact Ginger Mortensen at [email protected] for the sacramental needs of children through age 17.
Contact Juliet Jones: at [email protected] for the sacramental needs of adults ages 18 and up.
PERPETUAL ADORATION
This ministry takes a minimum of 168 people to make it work! Ideally, we would have 336 adorers to make it run smoothly. We would love to have you be a partner for any hour of the day. Contact Julie to ask about availability (see information below). Come spend wonderful moments with our Lord!
