4 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR Greetings in Christ! Our patron is St. Mark the Evangelist. Our Catholic Tradition tells us the story of how Mark became the author of a Gospel as well as a Saint. It all starts with St. Peter who, after receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem, began to travel about the known world, sharing with people his experience of being a follower of Jesus and a witness to His life, death and resurrection. It was in those travels that he encountered a young man named Mark and took him under his wing. Mark traveled with St. Peter for many years, writing St. Peters sermons and stories. As he approached his death, St. Mark compiled the stories Peter shared into the Gospel that we now read. Like St. Mark, we listen to the words of the successor of Peter and ask God to plant the Sacred Tradition and the Sacred Scriptures deep within our hearts so that we can, like St. Mark, share with others the wonder of an encounter with Christ. You are holding in your hands something much more than a Parish Directory. You are holding in your hands a testimony to God s goodness and the faithful loving, response of God s People in Goodrich, Michigan. In the pages of this book, you ll see the faces of the faithful, hardworking people who come and worship our God as a family. You will see the faces of people who have faithfully come to worship our God and allow Him to heal our wounds. You ll see the people who have given much of their time to keep the parish family alive and growing. You will see the people who pour out their lives in loving service: helping others in need, guiding people into the Catholic faith and serving our parish needs. You will see within these pages an image of the blessing of being a part of the family of God. You will see in these pages an invitation to dive deeper into our Parish Family; to offer your gifts and talents to God. May God bless our efforts to be His Saints. Fr. Joseph J Krupp 4
5 HISTORY OF ST. MARK THE EVANGELIST PARISH In 1978, in the southeastern corner of Genesee County, the first Mass was celebrated in a new Mission Church. The efforts of a group of families, that petitioned Bishop Kenneth Povish to consider a Catholic Church for the Goodrich area had paid off. It was evident at the first Mass that the Lyceum (the present Goodrich Library) was not large enough to accommodate the number of interested faithful, so a larger facility was quickly sought. The Goodrich High School cafeteria became the Mission s new home. Religious Education programs began that Fall, with high school classrooms serving as religious education classrooms. In 1979, land was purchased for the building site and a fund drive began. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in 1981, with 150 registered families by this time. The Parish Pastoral Council, an Altar Society, and the Men s Club were formed. The first Mass was celebrated in the newly constructed Church in January In 1989, Bishop Povish recommended that a Pastoral Coordinator be appointed. On June 28, 1989, Sr. Joan M. May, SSJ, a Sister of St. Joseph of Nazareth, Michigan, became the first Pastoral Coordinator at St. Mark. In December 1989, the home west of the Church on Burpee Road was purchased as a pastoral residence. Seeing the need for more space, for classrooms, offices, and a hall, plans began for expansion. Bishop Povish dedicated the Parish Center on March 20, Sr. Joan M. May served as the St. Mark Pastoral Coordinator from June 28, 1989 until her death in January Bishop Earl A. Boyea appointed Fr. Michael W. Kuchar Pastor beginning July 1, 2009 and he was installed as the first Pastor on September 20, 2009 serving until his retirement on June 30, 2018 Bishop Earl A. Boyea then clustered St. Mark the Evangelist with our neighbor, Church of the Holy Family in Grand Blanc, naming Fr. Joseph Krupp as our new shared Pastor on July 1, 2018 St. Mark the Evangelist Parish continues to strive and grow in faith, hope and love demonstrated through our responsible stewardship. 5
6 Parish Ministries and Organizations FINANCE COUNCIL The Parish Finance Council assists the Pastor in the administration of Parish financial decisions. Members are appointed by the Pastor to act as a resource and advisory body for all financial aspects of the Parish. The Council has four sub-committees: Budget, Building & Grounds, Personnel & Policies, and Stewardship. It meets 4 times each year on a quarterly basis and the subcommittees meet as required to prepare reports and feedback for the Finance Council s quarterly meetings. This includes the annual presentation by the Pastor in his State of the Parish address, including the review of the Time, Talent & Treasure of the previous pastoral year. PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL The Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is the primary and established means for Parishioners and the Pastor to respond to the pastoral mission of the Catholic Church and listen to the needs and hopes of our Parish. Its purpose is to sustain pastoral excellence by creating a vision for the Parish Community. This involves a planning process to bring the vision to fruition. The PPC is governed by the norms of the Diocesan Bishop. Four meetings are held each year on a quarterly basis. All Parishioners are invited to present their suggestions and/or comments at a published scheduled Council meeting. Please contact the Parish Office to schedule a time/date to formally meet with your Pastor and Parish Pastoral Council. As the primary and established means of communicating goals for the Parish, the Council is the overseeing entity for the four Parish Commissions: Education/Formation, Parish Life, Social Justice and Spiritual Development. 6
7 PARISH COMMISSIONS There are four Parish Commissions, which report directly to the Parish Pastoral Council. They are: Education/Formation, Parish Life, Social Justice, and Spiritual Development. These Commissions meet six (6) times a year on the 3 rd Tuesday of the month July, September, November, January, March and May for each Pastoral year. There are Pastoral Council representatives on each Commission who attend the Parish Pastoral Council meeting quarterly to report on each Commission s activities. Any Parishioner is welcome to join a Commission, which coordinates the efforts of our communal life in living out our Mission Statement. EDUCATION/FORMATION This Commission serves the Parishioners in their life-long faith formation from childhood through adulthood. Faith Formation is that process by which individuals integrate into their daily lives beliefs, sacred scripture, and traditions of our Catholic faith. People s hearts are changed by the relationships they have with Jesus Christ and with one another. This is the primary purpose of catechesis, and it is always orientated toward adults. Religious Education and Formation is so much more than educating people about God and religion. God is alive here in each and every one of us. The experiences of our faith help us to know and understand this reality. We believe that at the core of our being, we are all spiritual creatures that live by faith even though our faith expressions may be different. What is sometimes lacking is awareness. As parishes continue to call all the baptized to exercise their vocation to ministry within the Church, the role of the Education Formation Commission is vitally important in shaping hearts as well as minds. Sub-committees include: Religious Education Formation (REF), Youth Ministry and Adult Formation. 7
8 Religious Education Formation (REF) Religious Education Formation serves to educate our children in the teachings of the Catholic Church, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Traditions. Along with parents, the first teachers of the faith, the role of REF is to assist our children in the development of a mature Catholic Christian faith. REF also offers all necessary Sacramental preparation for Eucharist, Penance and Confirmation as well as Vacation Bible School (VBS) for young students. Catechists - Catechists are needed each Sunday, from September to early May for the REF Program; in the morning from 11:00 a.m. 12:30 p.m. (Grades 1-5) and in the evening from 6:00 7:30 p.m. (Grades 6-8). It is the Catechist s responsibility to present the traditions, prayers, and practices of the Catholic faith to our children and to bring them to know the person of Jesus Christ. Any baptized Catholic, 18 years or older, who actively participates in their faith and enjoys working with children can be involved. This requires a commitment of 1-2 hours a week in addition to the Sunday session. Volunteers are required to complete VIRTUS training and a background check. Elementary - Sessions for children in Grades 1-5 are weekly after Sunday morning Eucharist, from September to May. The Sacraments of Eucharist and Penance are a two-year process beginning in Grade 1 and celebrated in Grade 2. Middle School - The Church s ministry with adolescents and their families contributes to building healthy communities and providing the developmental and relational foundation essential to a young person s healthy growth. Parishes must be a place where youth feels welcome. Young people must feel a sense of belonging and are more likely to achieve a sense of identity in the community if they are considered as full-fledged members. The feeling of approval helps adolescents to develop a higher self-esteem as well as self-acceptance. Young people need a community in which they are listened to and valued. We make a commitment to the youth and their growth. 8
9 Sessions are held on Sunday evenings. A two-year period of preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation (Grades 8-9) is required for students to celebrate this Sacrament. Confirmation is celebrated during the Easter Season. Children s Liturgy of the Word (CLW) - 'Children's Liturgy of the Word' refers to the practice of children leaving the Sunday assembly before the Liturgy of the Word and gathering elsewhere to celebrate a separate Liturgy of the Word that is age appropriate for their understanding. After the Introductory Rites at the Sunday 9:30 a.m. Liturgy, children ages 3 to 8 are invited to participate in CLW. The children rejoin the Community at the Preparation of the Gifts. The purpose of adapting liturgical celebrations to make them more accessible to children is to gradually lead them to full, conscious and active participation in the Sunday Eucharist. Youth Group - Youth group helps families flourish in their spiritual journey. Even though the family has the main responsibility for the faith formation of young people, the church s ministry with adolescents aims to lead youth into a stronger faith within their own families. These experiences enrich family ties as well as the entire parish faith community. Here at St. Mark the Evangelist, we have a united Parish that is welcoming and willing to help our youth grow and develop in their faith. Our Youth Group meets every Sunday in a comfortable, caring environment that nurtures spiritual growth and maturity. Fun activities occur throughout the year, as well as a number of service opportunities where our youth can help people in need. Retreats, service projects and recreational activities are offered as well. The Church s ministry with our youth is centered on three essential goals: 1. encouraging young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today; 2. inspiring young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the faith community; 3. nurturing the personal, spiritual growth of each young person. 9
10 Adult Faith Formation Adult Faith Formation assists in the on-going conversion of adults. As Christians, we are called to be life-long learners. Adult Faith Formation seeks to enable adults to transform their lives by adapting an attitude of conversion to the Lord. This attitude helps the Christian take on the mind of Christ. It fosters a baptismal spirituality in which faith in Jesus is continuously deepened through the participation in the Sacraments, the works of charity and justice, and the prayer life of the Church. Formation for adults helps one to make a conscious and firm decision to live the gift and choice of faith through membership in the Christian community. It allows adults to develop a deeper sense of their cooperation with the Holy Spirit for the mission of the Church. It enables adult disciples to accept their place in the Church s mission to evangelize, to hear the cry for justice, to promote unity among Christians, and to bear witness to the salvation won by Jesus Christ for all. Adult Faith Formation may be carried out in a variety of ways. Seasonal workshops and retreats are an excellent way to enter into the Advent or Lenten liturgical season. A series of topical presentations serve to expand our understanding of our Catholic faith and to grow in holiness. Bible studies help us to better understand the Word of God. All of these venues also help to build lasting friendships. A number of opportunities for Adult Faith Formation are offered throughout the year. Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) This is a program which serves to guide people in their faith journey into the Catholic Church. RCIA facilitates the entry into full communion with the Church for the non-baptized and those baptized in other Christian faiths. There are classes as well for those Catholics who need to complete their Sacraments of Initiation, be it Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Presently RCIA is offered once a year between September and Easter, with a series of weekly classes. 10
11 Volunteers are needed to serve as sponsors and to help with refreshments, set-up, and overall support. If you know someone interested in learning more about our Catholic Faith, call the Parish Office. Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC) is similar for children. PARISH LIFE This Commission advises and supports the Parishioners and Pastor in matters that pertain to fostering community spirit at St. Mark. Its purpose is helping Parish members experience our faith community through social and recreational activities and Parish celebrations. All Parishioners are encouraged to become active in the important ministry of the various groups within our Church Community. Activities Euchre - Euchre is usually held on the 4 th Friday of the month, September thru June, at 10:00 a.m. It is followed by a light lunch. Hospitality Hour - Coffee, juice, donuts and bagels are served after the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sundays during the months of September thru May. The Parish Finance and Pastoral Councils and four Commissions serve as hosts. It is an opportunity for you as a Parishioner to get to know each other and build community. Monthly Breakfast - Generally on the 3 rd Sunday of the month, September thru May, Parish Life sponsors a breakfast after the 9:30 a.m. Mass. The breakfast meal often has a theme to encourage better eating. These meal opportunities are great for community building. 11
12 Monthly Dinner - On the 1 st Saturday of the month, September thru May, Parish Life sponsors a dinner or pot luck after the 5:30 p.m. Mass. These meals provide opportunities to enjoy fellowship with other Parishioners. Parish Feast Day Celebration (April 25, St. Mark the Evangelist) - Annually, there is a Parish celebration in honor of our patron, St. Mark the Evangelist. Our feast day coincides with the annual National Volunteer Appreciation Week at the end of April. This is a wonderful way to acknowledge and give thanks for all the Stewardship ( Time, Talent & Treasure ) given for the service of the common good of our Parish and community. Groups Council of Catholic Women (CCW) - All Catholic women of the Parish are encouraged to become members. The CCW unites the women of our Parish in spiritual, to the Sacrament of Eucharist. Projects are sponsored by the CCW for social and educational development; and for the good of the Parish. Funds are raised for specific Parish needs, especially those related to Parish Life. Some of the activities include: scrapbook weekends, bake sales, and teas. CCW members also assist, whenever called upon, for Parish activities - such as funeral luncheons, Art & Environment, and participation in various Parish Life events. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. following the 6:30 p.m. Liturgy. Funeral Lunch Teams - This special service is offered to parishioners to gather family and friends together for a meal after a funeral. Parish members through Time & Talent, host a catered luncheon in the Parish Center (set-up, serve and cleanup). There is a 2-3 hour commitment per funeral reception. Time & Talent is also used to provide freshly made deserts for these funeral receptions: cakes, pies, cookies, bar cookies, whatever you wish to create. 12
13 St. Joseph Guild - Women and men gather to do church work, minor repairs, and miscellaneous projects each week. The Guild gathers every Wednesday morning, after the 8:30 a.m. prayer service from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This is ideal for retirees and second shift workers. SOCIAL JUSTICE This Commission serves to coordinate and develop programs for those in need in our area, and to respond to social justice issues in our Parish, city and world. Proceeds from fund raiser activities go to the needy and to various outreach programs. The goal of the Social Justice Commission is to implement the Corporal Works of Mercy: feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick, visiting the imprisoned, and burying the dead. AA (Alcohol Anonymous) - AA meets every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Parish Center, Rooms 1 and 2.

Most efforts take place during Advent and may include contacting charities regarding their needs, making tags for the tree, putting up and decorating the tree, organizing incoming gifts and delivering gifts to charities and families. Catholic Charities of Shiawassee & Genesee Counties - Our Parish Community, through participation in the various programs offered by Catholic Charities, partners for building the Reign of God here on earth.

This group meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at 10:00 a.m., September through May. If you know of someone in need, please contact the Parish Office.

Evangelization Committee Evangelization is a long-term process to reach out to inactive Catholics as well as others in our community. A Committee was formed several years ago to focus on the Evangelization of our Catholic faith. With much discussion and discernment, by the Committee, three goals emerged. The first was to create an awareness of where our Parish, St. Mark, is located. The second was the invitation to Catholics and others in the area to come and see what our faith community is about in ministry. This was held on February 7, The third was for the individuals preparing this event to deepen their relationships with one another. 17
