The rectory has new living room furniture thanks to the generosity of O'Riley Funeral Home. We are blessed to have such good neighbors. They were replacing some furniture and offered it to St Mark. I switched out the sofas giving the older furniture to St Vincent DePaul with the helpful muscles of 6 eighth graders. The staff of O'Riley Funeral Home are wonderful people who are very generous to our parish This coming week I am on vacation from October 22 through October 30. I will be back to celebrate Halloween, All Saints, and All Souls. I think it might be my first week-long vacation since coming to St Mark. Fr David is scheduled to be here this coming week and Fr Jerry Kirkhoff will have the Friday morning Mass. Fr Michael Burns will be covering the weekend Masses, October 27 and 28.
