Dear friends and families of St. Mark’s Parish,

May the peace of the risen Lord be with you during this Holy Season of Easter. We pray and hope you have a very blessed Easter season!

Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding as we have been navigating through some unexpected issues causing a delay in our scheduling. We are aware that some of you have been inquiring about our various religious education programs and we are very happy to inform you that we have set dates and times for our 2 week Summer Intense Religious Education Program and our Vacation Bible School. We apologize for this unexpected delay in scheduling and sincerely hope you are still able to join us.

With this letter you will find two registration forms. Please refer to the BUTTONS below to register for the program or programs that would be appropriate for your child/children.

• For children in pre-K-5th grade, our VBS class is for you, it’s a great program with lots of fun activities.

• For students who are in pre-K- 7th grade, our 2-week Religious Education provides a comprehensive education of our faith and is equivalent to 1 year of religious education formation. It offers children the opportunity to make friends and get to know our parish and others in our parish family. 

If you or anyone you know is interested in being a teacher or volunteering in another way for any of our programs, please contact Stephanie Oswald at Stephanie.Oswald@dor.org.

Thank you again for your continued patience and may the peace of Christ be with you always! We look forward to seeing you this spring or summer!

Yours in Christ,

-Stephanie Oswald
