Help support our family of families – take orders from friends and family members!
Order forms are available now, inside the January 11-12 (2025) weekly bulletin! Extra order forms are also available from the church office.

Return the order forms, with money, to the church by Sunday, February 16, 2025. You can drop the forms and money (in the provided envelope) into the collection basket or stop by the office.

Pick up your subs and pizzas on Saturday, March 8, 2025 in the St. Mark Social Hall.

Many of us are already familiar with Marianna’s fundraisers, because they are a local favorite! The subs are 14 inches long and well worth the money! Many of the subs will come with peppers, onions, and sauces – but all of these items are separately vacuum-bagged to avoid flavor mingling and allow the hoagie to be stored for a few days before enjoying it.

Tired of catching nothing but Monday blues? Reel in a chance at the ultimate fishing adventure! Grab a raffle ticket and hook a big win!

Pick up raffle tickets after Masses at St. Mark and St. Luke, or call or stop by the church office (717-597-2705).

THE EUCHARIST: A MYSTERY TO BE BELIEVED, ADORED AND LIVED!

If you can commit to a time for adoration, please sign up on the sign-up sheet after Mass or with the parish office so that we can ensure the sacrament is attended at all times.

Volunteers are needed to hide eggs during Mass, and to assist with the hunt after Mass. If you are willing to help in either way, please sign up on the volunteer page on the Parish Website!

Please join us for our last Lenten dinner of the year tomorrow, Friday March 15 2024! Dinner starts at 5:00 and ends at 6:30 – followed by Stations of the Cross in the church. Dinner is in the St. Mark Social Hall. There will be a 50/50 drawing at 6:15! We hope to see you all there!

Sister Karolyn Grace of the Immaculate Conception, known by many parishioners in her childhood as Megan Wertner, has written an open letter expressing her gratitude for the support of our prayers and asking for their continuance as she and her sisters relocate to a fully established monastery in Kokomo, Indiana. She will continue in her contemplative life as a Poor Clare but will have a time of formation as she enters the life of this community.
