TEACHER’S PRAYER
Lord, I know I have a responsibility to teach children about You.  Please help me every step of the way.  I pray that I can answer all questions posed to me  by the students and I ask you to guide me to instill in the young people a love of God, respect for themselves and others, and a continuing exercise of replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, thus changing from bad to good all their thoughts and deeds. Amen.

STUDENT’S PRAYER
Lord, I know I have a lot to learn about you and about how to live my life. I come to you with my concerns. When I feel lonely because no one seems to care; when I get angry because life seems so unfair; when I feel closed in by pressures to succeed, accomplish, and excel; when I get confused about what is right and when I am afraid, take my hand and walk with me. Amen.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION BAKE SALE
The Annual Sale was a huge success thanks to
our wonderful bakers and buyers!  We profited $723.50!  Father Nelson, the students, teachers and DRE are most appreciative.  The money will provide for needed materials, the Senior High Youth Conference (SHYCON), the Junior High Youth Day, Mardi Gras, etc.        
           THANK YOU EVERYONE AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR HELP!  


HOLY ROSARY & SAINT MARK’S RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (2026 Schedule TBD) will be held at St. Therese of the Child Jesus School.  We begin.  Classes are 9AM - 10:20AM.  Open House at the school is scheduled as follows:  Sunday, from 9:15AM-10AM and Saturday  from 3PM-5PM.  Please use the ramp door.  The reasons for relocating are as follows:  Maintaining teachers, low enrollment, off-street parking, classrooms are larger and appealing, use of Fr. Kelly Hall and the school will be locked.  Suzanne Barry will continue to be the DRE for Holy Rosary & St Mark parishes and will be at St Therese every Sunday.  The pastor and DRE at St. Therese are Fr. Brian Norris and Mary Beth Schmidhamer.  If anyone has any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact
Fr. Nelson Javier, TOR, or Suzanne Barry.  Thank you!

2025  CONFIRMATION – Congratulations to Evan Burke, Anthony Kowalski, Marina Rose Petucci and Logan Shannon who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on May 13, 2025, at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, confirmed by Bishop Mark L. Bartchak. 
Please consider being a part of special ministries, like Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers.  
 
SAINT MARK’S CHILDREN ENVELOPES – Envelopes were given out to the children.  It would be good habit for them to get into supporting their church by putting an envelope in the collection basket every week.  It doesn’t have to be much, just something.
