Saint Mark
Saint Mark the Evangelist, patron of our parish, was probably the first to start gathering and organizing the oral and written traditions about Jesus. He wrote the first Gospel.
Saint Mark was a man of extraordinary talents, talents brought to perfection by the Holy Spirit in the service of the Church. As a writer, he has a great eye for detail and a gift for organizing his material effectively. His gospel is the shortest of the four – only sixteen chapters. Mark wrote sometime between 55 A.D and 70 A.D., some twenty to thirty-five years after the death of Jesus. He wrote for the community of Christians, mostly converts from Judaism, and his gospel answers the question: “Who is Jesus?”. We find the response to this question in the words of the Roman soldier on Calvary “This was the son of God.”
St. Mark became the first bishop of Alexandria and he is honored as the founder of Christianity in Africa. The lion is the traditional symbol of St. Mark, who, with open mouth, boldly speaks the word of God, Jesus Christ, throughout the universe until the end of time.
We celebrate St. Mark’s feast on April 25th.

Open our ears.
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
