Vocation Day

Join us this Sunday as Sr. Mary Annette Gailey renews her religious vows at the St. Mark 9 am Mass.

Afterward, you’re invited to the social hall for refreshments and reflections on God’s call.

Sr. Mary Annette will share her vocation story, telling us how she received her call to religious life and how she lives out that call.

Fr. Joshua Weaver, Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Harrisburg, will talk to us about the priesthood.

Mr. and Mrs. David and Hope Grady will speak about married life and the gratitude we have for the many vocations within the Church.

Congratulations to Sr. Mary Annette on her 25th Anniversary!

Holy Hour and Life Chain on Sunday, October 2

We’re invited to join in prayer with Saint Andrew Parish, Waynesboro.

Holy Hour 1:00-1:45 at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 12 North Broad Street, Waynesboro. The rosary will be prayed at 1:30pm.

Life Chain 2:00-3:00pm on the square in Waynesboro.

This is a peaceful and prayerful public witness (not a protest) of pro-life individuals all around our nation who stand for 60 minutes praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception until natural death.

Stand with many other Christians to witness to the sanctity of all human life. During both events there are no protest rallies or speeches, just silent witness & prayer. Waynesboro officials are aware of the life chain and have given permission for the event to take place on the sidewalks at both locations. Come, be involved! Stand up for life!

Bringing Up the Gifts at Mass

St. Mark and St. Luke Parishioners,

Could you please help out the parish by bringing up the gifts at Mass? Your family can sign up for a particular Mass here:

You will represent the parish, and the entire Church, in returning to God the blessings He has given to us.

It’s a reminder to each of us participating in the Mass to offer all that we have and are to God the Father. 

Corpus Christi Procession

After the 5 pm Mass on Saturday, June 18, please join us as we honor Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. This is an indoor/outdoor event suitable for all ages. Here’s how you and your family can be a part of it:

  • Fresh flower donations can be brought to the parish hall from 4-4:45 pm.
  • Recent First Communicants: Please wear your First Communion attire! We have a special place in the procession for you. Come to the social hall at 4:40 for instructions.
  • Older kids, we need your help distributing candles, papers, etc. Come to the social hall at 4:40 for instructions.
  • All parishioners are invited to gather in the church at the end of the 5 pm Mass.
  • At 6:15, the event will begin in the church with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Participants will follow the Lord in procession and stop at four stations on the St. Mark property to receive a blessing, ending in the church. Chairs will be available at each station.

June 18 is the vigil of the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. (in Latin, Corpus Christi) It is a day designated for us to remember and thank our Lord for the gift of Jesus Himself – body, blood, soul and divinity – in the Blessed Sacrament. Join us as we worship Him as the source and summit of our faith!
