St Mark’s Parish

• Sewing with Friends – join us while we do all our own mending while in each other’s company.  Machines, scissors, thread and needles are all available, and of course tea and coffee.  It is on the second Saturday of every month in the Lyons Den from 2-4pm.

Let me finish with a Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are our hope and our salvation. As we walk this earthly pilgrimage, fill our hearts with courage and joy. Strengthen our trust in your promises and help us to be faithful witnesses of your love. May we bring hope to those in darkness, light to those in despair, and unity to a divided world. With Mary as our guide and the Church as our companion, may we journey ever closer to You. Amen.

In Christ through Sancta Maria,
Mr. Omar Leo Tamayo
Leader of Special Character Mission and Liturgy (DRS)
