This year the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack on the United States falls on a Sunday. The nature of this anniversary calls for special recognition at weekend liturgies. We will remember those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and those who have served or are serving in the military, firemen, ambulance and law enforcement personnel at 10:30 AM mass on Sept. 11th @ St. Marks Church.
The readings for the 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time appropriately focus on forgiveness and God’s mercy. We will pray for the Church, our nation, the world. God Bless America. Let There Be Peace on Earth.
Cameron County state law and local enforcement, fire & emergency service personnel, military veterans and members of the Reserve Forces of all faiths are invited to dress in uniform and attend the Mass.
A reception will be held following mass in O'Connell Hall.
Prayers for local emergency responders, service personnel, our nation and the world will be offered.
A special blessing will be given to honor all those making a difference in our communities.
Please RSVP to St. Mark by calling 486-0569
