October is
St. Mark Youth Month! In honor of our Youth Month celebration we will feature in the bulletin
parish ministries that cater to our youth.
St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic School As St. Mark the Evangelist celebrates 50 years, St. Mark Catholic School proudly celebrates 33 years of serving the children of our parish. It is the mission of St. Mark Catholic School to educate each student in a spirit of faith, gospel values and academic excellence according to Roman Catholic principles. We do this by teaching the whole child: mind, body and spirit. Beginning at the preschool level and continuing through 8th grade, St. Mark’s curriculum and instruction include sequential and constructive programs of learn-ing. With focused attention on our Catholic faith, exemplary academics, service to the community, integration of technology, strong parental involvement, physical well-being, and many extra-curricular opportunities, our students are given a solid foundation upon which to build, and are well-prepared for success in high school and beyond. St. Mark has been twice recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, with students consistently scoring in the top 15% in the nation on standardized tests. Our faculty, staff and students have been widely recognized for their accomplishments across many disciplines. We invite all parishioners and others in our community to learn more about St. Mark Catholic School, where “Faith and Knowledge Meet.” Please visit our website at www.stmcs.net, or call the school office at (972) 578-0610.
Plano Area Catholic Homeschoolers (PARCH) Plano Area Roman Catholic Homeschoolers (PARCH) is a homeschooling support group, and an official Parish organization of St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church. Organized for purpose of facilitating information and support for Catholic homeschooling families, PARCH sponsors a yahoo group, support meetings, curriculum informational sessions and homeschooling workshops, field trips, park days, and daily Mass attendance, along with seasonal activities and celebrations for Catholic homeschooling families. While PARCH provides access to myriad information, and events, its greatest service to others is in the sharing of wisdom and in the gift of friend-ships. Opportunities for Community Service abound within PARCH as our homeschooling families help organize and volunteer for St. Mark Parish activities/events and others throughout the calendar year. “My sheep hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me.” John 10: 27
