Dear Parish Family,
First and foremost, a most heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of socks! Catholic Charities was most grateful for the packed car load of socks that was delivered. Many feet will be warm because of St. Mark parishioners.
We are coming close to the end of another year. There’s no denying that this has been a difficult year for many. Yet, we all remain steadfast members of our church family of St. Mark. As the Christmas season approaches, we find it’s a good time to call to mind our blessings.
For our Christmas outreach project this year we will be collecting items for the Image of God Crisis Pregnancy Center of Detroit. It is an independent, Christian, non-political organization prepared to help those whether they are single or married, regardless of age, race or religion. As we all know, it is so important at this time to support and encourage all pregnant women.
The Center offers:
The Center is in need of items for baby and mom, and during this Christmas season, toys for siblings would be appreciated. There will be Christmas ornament tags on the giving tree in the gathering space to choose from. Envelopes will also be available for monetary and gift card gifts. Our outreach will run from November 19th thru December 11th.
As always, St. Mark is so generous in our giving. As Father Stanley always says, “we are small, but oh so generous”! We thank you in advance for considering this outreach in your Christmas giving. Prayer is always needed and welcomed for this Center and the work they do.
May the Lord continue to bless you during this Christmas season and always for all you do on behalf of St. Mark Parish!
Sincerely,
Parish Outreach Team
