San Marco, prega per noi!
This week I want to tell you the story about when I first learned I was
coming here to St. Mark. Each year at the Gregorian University we
would have two weeks off for Easter. This gave us an opportunity to
experience the Triduum at St. Peter’s with the Holy Father and then
do some traveling after Easter. This past year Easter was on April
21st and the week following I was in Venice with a few of the other
priests with whom I lived. While I was there on Thursday, April 25th,
I received a call from Fr. Eric Johnson, the Vicar of Clergy for the
Archdiocese of Indianapolis. That was when I found out I was
coming to St. Mark!
At first I didn’t think the significance of where I was when I got this
news. I told the priests with me that I had my new assignment and
where it was. They immediately pointed out how providential it was
that we were in Venice! It is there that the body of St. Mark the
Evangelist is entombed in one of the most famous Cathedrals in all
the world, San Marco di Venezia. So I immediately went to the
Cathedral to visit St. Mark himself and ask for his prayers! I found
myself asking, “What are the odds that I would be right here, literally
two minutes away, when I got the news I was going to a parish
named in honor of you?”
The story of how St. Mark’s body ended up in Venice is a very
interesting one. To summarize it briefly: St. Mark died in Alexandria,
Egypt, around the year 68 AD, where tradition holds that he
established the first Christian community there. Given how important
he was to the Church, not only a companion of St. Paul, but one of
the Evangelists (author of a Gospel). The Christians in Alexandria
kept close watch over the tomb of St. Mark as a holy shrine until
Christianity became legal and a Church was built over it to honor the
relics. In the 9th century, when Islam took over Egypt and began
persecuting Christians, the church which was built to honor St. Mark
in Alexandria was destroyed and the body of St. Mark had to be
smuggled out for safekeeping. Merchants from the city of Venice did
this by wrapping the bones and packing them beneath a shipment of
pork headed for Italy (traditionally Muslims do not eat pork, and do
not touch the meat, and so the shipment would not be inspected
closely). When the relics of the saint arrived in Venice, they were
immediately enshrined in the Doge’s palace until the 11th century
when the current magnificent Cathedral was built to house St.
Mark’s body. To this day, St. Mark Cathedral and the square outside
of it are the most famous landmarks in Venice. Because the body of
such an important saint found its way to the city, the Archbishop of
Venice became known as a “Patriarch,” a title usually reserved for
bishops of cities with Apostolic foundations (like Jerusalem, Antioch,
and of course Rome). That is why Angelo Roncalli was known as
the “Patriarch of Venice” before he became Pope John XXIII.
I have been here at St. Mark now for almost three months and I pray
to him for his intercession often. But I will never forget the first time I
learned I was coming here. St. Mark was right there with me from
the beginning. May he continue to watch over us and help us all
grow closer to Christ, just as he did for the world when he wrote his
Gospel. St. Mark, pray for us! —Fr. Tim Wyciskalla

Parish Life
MINISTRY FOR MATURING ADULTS
St. Mark Young Adults
Life is not, nor ever has been, a straight line forward....Life is
characterized much more by exception and disorder than by
total or perfect order. Life, as the biblical tradition makes
clear, is both loss and renewal, death and resurrection,
chaos and healing at the same time; life seems to be a
collision of opposites. Fr. Richard Rohr
God has called each of us to be holy...to be our best selves.
St. Mark the Evangelist Parish invites you to join the Ministry
for Maturing Adults (MMA). You will engage with other adults
about life and spirituality, to strengthen your faith, and
provide the connection between faith and life.
