St Mark Blog

Parents,

As we begin the week of Thanksgiving, I want to share with you a list of things I am thankful

for:

• My Faith

St. Mark has allowed me to not only use my faith, but to have it grow each day that I am here. We have a great pastor in Fr. George, great music with Andy Eagan, and great youth and spiritual formation with Mary Lynn and Josh. As I continue down my own spiritual journey, I know that I am surrounded by people of tremendous faith.

• My Family

 I am blessed with a beautiful and loving wife and four children that are healthy and that all have their own great qualities. My own mother and father are still with us and each day I live the reward of their hard work. I am very blessed to be their son.

• A Tremendous Staff

Words cannot describe how much I appreciate each member of our SMCS staff. They are loving, Christ filled, devoted, talented, hard working, and very fun to be around. I would not trade any one of them for any other staff member in the world. The time and effort they put in with your children is inspiring. I love each and every one of them!

• Our Students

We have students at SMCS that grow in their faith. They care about one another and they care about their school. They are dedicated, prepared, well mannered and will make a positive difference in our world. We are blessed to have each one of them as Lions!

• Our Parents

Without you none of this would be possible (literally!). You have laid the foundation of Christ that we build upon each and every day. You reinforce our efforts at home and you love your children. I can be honest with you and I know that you are honest with me. Keep loving your children, it shows in their actions!

• Our Parishioners

Without our parishioners at St. Mark, we would not have a school. Without their prayers, their financial support, their giving of their talents, we would not be the growing, vibrant, Catholic school that we are now. As our school grows, so grows our parish. We welcome more parishioners to send their children to St. Mark Catholic School and look for many years of parish growth!

ST MARK CATHOLIC SCHOOL…..FAITH IN EVERY CHILD

We have much to be thankful for. As we head into Thanksgiving week, take time to thank someone that you do not normally thank. It will make their day and yours too. We will see you at Mass and at the “Giving Back” Pancake Breakfast after 7:30 and 9:30am Masses!

Thanks and God Bless,
