As you know, the Dedication of our new Church takes place next Saturday, June 6th at 7:30 p.m. and already the excitement is palpable. Those of you who have not seen the inside of the new church will be amazed at its beauty! This day is a long time in coming and it begins a new chapter in our history. With that in mind, our staff and the St. Mark Stewardship and Advisory board felt that we needed a new Mission Statement to mirror this new beginning. Thus, we all put our heads together and came up with something that I know will be remembered, and hopefully, we all will strive to achieve. It is taken from our Four Year Initiative and gives us purpose and meaning as a parish. You will see it as the following:
Learn
Orar (Spanish for pray)
Gi
Ve
Evangelize
As you can see, as we make our journey to God we invite all people to a journey to LOVE. By doing all of the above, we will be a parish that shouts to the world that ALL ARE WELCOME on this journey with us. I hope as we begin this new era in our history, we will be renewed by this great purpose in bringing people to an intimate relationship with the God of LOVE!
May God bless you and continue to pray for St. Mark Parish!
