The Parish Life office is responsible for many areas surrounding the life of the parish or it's parishioners. We provide catechesis for the sacrament of baptism by providing monthly classes for parents and godparents preparing to baptize a child at St. Mark and we assist in the preparation of couples who wish to marry, by assisting the couple with filling out the necessary prenuptial paperwork, to gathering the needed documentation, and by providing marriage preparation, NFP classes, and the FOCCUS/REFOCCUS questionnaire.
For those who are grieving the loss of a loved family member or friend, we offer Faith and Grief on a monthly basis, the 2nd Wednesday of the month, from 1:00pm-2:00pm, in McGivney Hall and New Day Grief Support, a 9 week grief support program, that will be offered on Thursday afternoon, from 1:00pm-2:45pm, beginning Oct. 6.
BAPTISMS
Baptism classes for parent and godparents are held once a month in both English and Spanish. Group baptisms for infants and young children (under the age of seven) take place on Saturdays at 10:00am in English or Spanish.
