Anniversary Celebrations If you are celebrating a wedding anniversary in October and would like to renew your vows Sunday, October 26, at the 12:00PM Mass please call the parish office to register your names, and we will prepare a certificate for you.

Vocation Chalice Each week at Mass, a family will accept the responsibility of

praying for vocations. The family is called up to the altar after communion to receive a Chalice, which has been set aside for this purpose.

The Legion of Mary meets on Wednesday mornings after the 8:00AM Mass in the Chapel where we recite the Rosary and have a short meeting. The Legion offers an opportunity for both spiritual and active enrichment. We invite our auxiliary members to join us and always welcome new members.

Women’s Prayer Group The Women’s Prayer Group calls the women of St. Mark parish who wish to deepen their relationship with the Lord and one another to prayerful discussions of scripture and Church teaching on a variety of themes. It seeks to support, befriend, and bond the women of the parish as they seek to integrate faith with their vocations as married, single and religious Catholic women of the twenty first century. The giving and receiving of spiritual support is the fruit of the women’s gathering which takes place in the prayerful setting of our parish every third Friday evening of the month at 7:30PM in the St. Clare Room. Please contact Joanne Bock at 561-752-5602 if you wish further information.

Starting October 11th! The St. Mark Council of Catholic Women meets the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 AM in the Parish Center cafeteria. New members are always welcome. Please come and try us out! For more information, call Maureen Fulop at 704-8771 or Marge LaViola at 329-4667.

Bible Study All Parishioners and their guests are invited to join us on Tuesday evenings from 7-8 PM (Starting September 30th) in the St. Clare room of the St. Francis Center. We will be studying the Book of Acts which tells the story of the spread of the Gospel and the growth of the early church from its beginnings at Pentecost, following the Ascension of Jesus. We will learn how the Holy Spirit empowers the preaching of Peter, Paul, and the other disciples to take the faith from Jerusalem, to Judea, throughout Samaria and ultimately to the ends of the earth. Please call Vic Coppola, 561 736 7812. A free will offering of $15.00 is requested for the study guides.

Friar Priests: Fr. Dan G. Fink, OFM Conv. Pastor

Take Note!

Baptism the Gateway to All Sacramental Life in the Church

Some may have noticed that there have been two additional items added to the Narthex. First the Paschal Candle has been placed in front of the Baptismal Font to remind all of us that it is Christ, The Light of the World that leads us to salvation. The use of the Paschal Candle is very important in the Celebration of Baptism. It is a reminder that Christ, who is the Light of the World, wishes for all the world to escape from the darkness of sin and death to be bathed in the light of life and faith.

During the Conferral of Baptism, a smaller candle is lit from the Paschal Candle and entrusted to the newly baptized either personally or through the godparents as a reminder that part of our responsibility as Christians is to share the light of Christ with all we meet. The second addition is the Ambry or the Case in which the Sacred Oils are kept when not in use.

There are three Oils that the Church uses in conferral of some of the Sacraments. They are normally blessed during Holy Week by the Bishop at the Chrism Mass. Oil of the Sick is the Oil used in the administration of the Sacrament of the Sick. During the rite, the person is anointed on his/her forehead and on the palms of his/her hands. When a priest is anointed, the anointing of the hands is conferred on the opposite side of the hand. The container is usually marked O. I. It is an abbreviation from the Latin, Olea Infirmatum. (Oil of the Sick)

Oil of the Catechumens is conferred on a person preparing for Baptism. If the person is older and a part of the R.C.I.A., it is conferred during the days immediately preceding the Easter Vigil. In the case of infant Baptism, it is usually conferred prior to the Intercessory prayers and Litany of the Saints. The priest/deacon anoints the person on the chest. It is symbolic of courage and perseverance. The container is usually marked O.S. It is an abbreviation from the Latin, Olea Sacra (Oil of the Holy)

Sacred Chrism unlike the other two oils is not only blessed but also consecrated. Like the other two oils, the basic component is olive oil, but is mixed with balsam, a fragrant resin. The mixing of the olive oil and balsam is symbolic of Jesus who is both God and Man. The container containing the Sacred Chrism is usually marked SChr or Sacra Chrism. It is conferred immediately following Baptism. The priest/deacon anoints the head of the newly baptized. Sacred Chrism is also used during the Ordination of Priests. The newly ordained priest’s palms are anointed. This symbolizes the sharing of Christ’s command to offer sacrifice for the living and the dead. It is used during the Ordination of Bishops. The newly ordained bishop’s head is anointed. Sacred Chrism is also used to consecrate an altar, the walls of church during its dedication, and it may be used to consecrate a chalice and paten.

It is hoped that this new placement of these important symbols may enrich

our appreciation of our Dear Lord!
