Pentecost Sunday

 

John 20:19-23 

One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is peace. This peace is not a passive state of tranquility,
but an empowering force that allays our fears, urges us forth to take up Jesus’ mission,
and instills in us forgiving hearts.
This peace transforms how we see ourselves, how we pursue discipleship,
and how we relate to the world and one another. 
Certainly, this peace is life encompassing and enduring.
How much more so is Jesus’ gift of the Holy Spirit!

CORPUS CHRISTI OUTDOOR PROCESSION 

FEAST DAY OF THE MOST 

HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
at the conclusion of the 9:00 AM mass, Sunday, June 7, 2026

The celebration emphasizes the Eucharist with special Liturgical observances and processions throughout the diocese,
country and world. Here at St Mark Church at the conclusion of Mass, we will have a solemn outdoor procession in which all are invited to join.
We will process around the perimeter of the church. Participating also will be St. Mark 4th Degree K of C members.

After the procession, adoration will occur until 11:15 AM with Benediction.
Please consider staying and praying for all or for some of this time period. Why? Personal time with Jesus and special graces.
(A plenary indulgence is granted for those devoutly participating in the Eucharistic procession.)
