First Eucharist at St. Mark: Welcome Guests!

Welcome to any guests who will be joining us May 5-6 or May 12-13 for our parish-wide celebration of First Eucharist!  To help make this day beautiful for everyone, here are some pointers:

• Please be aware that the front parking lot may be full, meaning you may be required to park in the rear parking lot.
• Contact the parents of the First Communicant for information on where your family will be sitting on that day.
• Arrive inside the Sanctuary no later than 5 minutes before the start of Mass if you wish to sit with the family members of the First Communicant in the reserved pew.  Ushers are instructed to fill in any empty seats at this point.
• Mass times are:
• Saturday at 5:30PM
• Sunday at 8:15AM, 10:00AM, and 11:45AM
• No photographs are allowed during Mass, with the exception of when the First Communicants are processing in during the Gathering Song at the beginning of Mass.  After Mass, children will congregate around Fr. Pat for a picture near the altar.
• Please join us with full heart and full voice to help make our worship of God and our celebration of the Mass fuller and more meaningful.
• For more information on what we believe about the Eucharist, watch this short, 5-minute video.

Please pray for all our First Communicants as they begin this new and exciting part of their journey with God!
