DE MAYO DEL
2015
MAY 17, 2015
H.U.G.S (Humans United to Give and Share) Truck
The semi-annual Knight of Columbus collection of
household items is June 6 (9AM to 1PM), in the
Smyth Pastoral Center parking lot. Donated items
benefit Catholic Charities and the Crisis Pregnancy
Centers. Please begin saving furniture, household items, clothing
and baby items (no food, refrigerators, washers or dryers). This
year we have been advised that there is a special priority need
for new baby cribs (manufactured after 2010), and car seats. If
you cannot deliver the items, please call the Project Chairman,
Tom Stevens, at 972-578-7613 to arrange a pickup. NOTE: Computers and related equipment cannot be accepted.
Eucharist brought to rehabilitation hospital
Do you have a loved one in a rehabilitation
hospital who would like the Eucharist brought to
them? If they are in or going to a rehab hospital
in the Plano or Richardson area, we can do this.
Please call either the office at 972-423-5600 or Mary Jane or
972-664-0188.
Vocation Awareness Program
Once a year the Diocese of Dallas and Ft. Worth, along with local
Serra Clubs, sponsor a weekend event at the University of Dallas,
a Catholic university in Irving, where men and women between
the ages of 18 and 40 have the opportunity to discern and explore with priests and religious orders what it means to have a
calling to the religious life. Usually there are between 35 and 50
men and women attending this weekend event. They are provided with food and lodging at no cost to them. The $20,000 cost
is funded with raffle ticket sales and donations.
This weekend we are holding our parish raffle ticket sales.
We are asking you to support this effort to increase vocations.
We call it being fishers of men and women who have heard the
voice of God and want to explore further what their calling may
mean for them.
Please show your support for Vocations by buying raffle tickets
after Mass. There are prizes for the winners of the drawings
which will be held June 6th, but the real winners are all of us who
need more vocations. The tickets are being sold in front of the
Narthex and up on the Hill of our church by Serran representatives.
The VAP weekend will be held June 26-28 at the University of
Dallas. If you think you, or someone you know, may have a vocation interest there is information on how to contact the diocese vocation offices on the poster in the Narthex.
Thank you in advance, and please keep praying for vocations.
Ushers Needed!
We are in urgent need of English
ushers at all Masses but especially
at the 7:30AM, 4:30PM and 6PM.
Requirements are that the volunteer be 13 and older, be a registered member of St Mark Parish
and those over 18 complete the
Diocesan Safe Environment Training. Please call Sandy at 972-424-6507 or [email protected] if interested.
