St. Mark the Evangelist

Just because there is no Mass and no collection basket passing by us, your contributions are still needed.  The parish expenses continue, even during this state of emergency and your support is crucially important.

As we want to be able to keep our services available to our parish community, I ask for your continued support through online giving or by mailing a check. Some parishes are already struggling financially, so we remind you of how important your continued contributions and support are. They are so needed and appreciated.

These are strange times, but we trust that God is with us. We walk together in hope that we will find new ways to stay connected, to comfort one another, and to reach out together for Christ's healing of our world and our people.

I hope I can continue to count on your generous support this Easter Season. Because of you, we are able to make the impact we do.

For this one year, to keep your parishioners safe and to follow state and local guidelines, I am asking that you support this vital endeavor virtually.

Find your parish and click "shop." All goods ordered online will be shipped directly to our three diocesan food pantries after the drive concludes - Father English Center (Paterson), Hope House (Dover) and the Partnership for Social Services (Franklin).

I thank you for your support. It is only through your contributions that we are able to

BEWARE OF HACKING – Unfortunately evil is always at work and so I share with you a matter that has recently been brought to the attention of churches live streaming liturgical services. There have been reports of hackers breaking into live streaming services and interrupting with obscene language and
images. Please know that we are doing everything possible to maintain the integrity of our parish broadcasts. Parents should stay vigilant. May St. Michael the Archangel protect us from this evil.

BEWARE:  Its come to our attention that some people have received “scam” emails from Fr. Marcin or Fr. Javier.  Please know these messages are fake that are requesting “favors” or “gift cards”.  Should you have any questions, please call the parish office or contact Fr. Marcin at frmarcin@comcast.net   Do not reply to these emails.
