Greetings to all of you!
As I sit here writing this article, I can’t help but be swelled with pride at three of our members of St. Mark parish who had participated in a National-level Financial Literacy Test. Over 76,000 students from across the United States participated in the test and these three members earned scores in the top 20% of the entire nation. They are John Riccardi, Scott Fleming and Dion Larson! The Department of the U.S. Treasury will then select 20 students from this 20% and will award each student $1000. In addition, Dion Larson achieved a perfect score of 100% on this National exam and is one of only 500 people to do so! Congratulations to Scott, John, and Dion, we are so proud of you!!
Last Saturday we had our annual Ministerial Leadership Informational Meeting in which we discussed the workings of the Pastoral Council and the various goals and objectives we have laid out for the next 5-10 years. Leaders from most of the ministries in our parish came together to hear some exciting news as we head into the future of our parish, and they were told of their importance in making much of this happen. We were also shown the latest plans for our new Church, which was truly a high point! I was very impressed by their enthusiasm and determination in the planning process of St. Mark, and we look forward to even better things as Jesus once promised us!
Well, that is all for now. Continue to enjoy the gift that God has given us in each other.
Peace,
Fr. David
