Website Maintenance
We have recently transitioned our website to a new program. While it functions the same, we ask for your patience throughout the month of May as we work to address any glitches and improve overall functionality for users. Thank you!
Word Made Clear - Study of the Gospel of Mark
As we hear the Gospel of Mark at Sunday Mass, have you ever wanted to delve in the meaning of this Gospel? If you have, there is a resource known as the Word Made Clear available on the Internet. It provides your own personal Scripture Study which you can work your way through at your own pace. Fr. Jim McIlhone, Director of Biblical Formation for the Archdiocese of Chicago, takes you through the Gospel of Mark to help you gain a deeper understanding of the Gospel and to help you apply its teachings to your everyday life.
