St. Vincent de Paul Meeting to
Discuss the Harmful Effects Predatory Lending
May 27, 6:45-8PM, Pastoral Center, Conference Room 202
The predatory lending business is thriving, causing untold pain to
thousands of individuals and families. Unreasonable and excessive economic tactics used by payday lenders, rent-to-own companies and predatory mortgage lenders and brokers must not be
tolerated.
Residents of Plano, Richardson and surrounding cities are trying
to create a grassroots movement to bring awareness to the
harm of payday and auto-title loans. We’re inviting parishioners
to learn more about how these “predatory lenders” are legally
able to charge over 500% interest rates in Texas; how we can
work together to help our cities take action and how we can provide alternatives for our communities.
Dear Parents,
This is the end of our Faith Formation learning year, our last
Sunday classes are May 18 (Wednesday classes ended on May
14). The students celebrate a year of growing in our Catholic
faith along with their catechists. Everyone learned something
new – as all of us will continue to learn about our Catholic faith
our entire lives.
You and your child might consider marking the end of this learning year with the following prayer:
Dear God,
May everything we learned this past year make our Catholic faith
stronger; make us willing to share our faith with others; make us
more generous and forgiving; and make us more peaceful in all
our dealings with others. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ,
your Son, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Have a wonderful summer.

Estimados Padres,

vida. Consideren cerrar este año con la siguiente oración:
Querido Dios,
Que todo lo que hemos aprendido este año fortalezca nuestra fe
Católica para estar dispuestos a compartirla con otros. Haznos
mas generosos, compasivos, dispuestos a perdonar y danos paz
en el trato con otros. Te lo pedimos en el nombre de Jesucristo,
Tu Hijo, nuestro Señor y Salvador, Amen.

Announcing the St. Mark “Lifetime Lions”
Alumni Network!
Calling all alumni! It is with LION PRIDE that St. Mark Catholic
School announces our official alumni network, Lifetime Lions!
More than 1,400 students have graced our halls and have gone
on to be successful in high school, college, and in their careers. It
is our goal to form a network of valued alumni so that we can all
stay in touch and form an ongoing and mutually beneficial relationship. New opportunities for alumni are being developed,
including the Lions Mentor Lions program, allowing alumni to
return to St. Mark and share their expertise and experiences
with our current students. Perhaps we have an alum who is good
at Robotics and would like to assist our Robotics team, or a current high school student who excels at math and would spend
time with one of our math classes, or a basketball player who
could work with one of our school teams. It’s a great chance to
give back, and for those in high school, to earn valuable service
hours. We want to be sure to include all of our alumni in these
opportunities. If you know a St. Mark alum, please direct them
to our website to register and learn more. Each graduate who
registers will receive a numbered Lifetime Lions membership
certificate, and will be placed on our mailing list to receive future
alumni communications. 8th grade parents: Be sure to register
your 2014 graduate now. Let’s all welcome our alumni back to
the St. Mark family with LION PRIDE!
