Council 6065
Assembly 2266
Welcome back to School
The officers and members of Council 6065 welcome the teachers and students back to St. Mark School. May you have a truly enlightening year filled
with good memories.
Elementary Faith Formation Classes Begin
Next Sunday September 8 and
Wednesday, September 11
The first class is for the children and their parents – Get to know the catechists and learn more about what your child will be learning this year. Parents don't drop off and run; your presence is important! Special Olympics – Aquatics: September 6/7
Our Council is participating with Councils from the entire Dallas Diocese in
supporting the Special Olympics Aquatics held on September 6/7 at the
Frisco ISD Natatorium. All parishioners are invited to attend and support
these athletes. For more information please go to their website: http://
www.friscoisd.org/community/natinfo.htm or you can email the Diocesan
Special Olympics Coordinator, Jim Massey, at [email protected].
Class rosters will be posted in the hallway of the school building. If you did not hear from our office then your child was placed in the session that was selected as first choice. Flags and Electronics Recycling for Special Olympics
Unserviceable flags continue to be collected in the flag box which is now
located inside the Usher’s Room at the rear of the old Narthex. If you are not
familiar with the location of the Usher’s Room, please ask an usher for directions. Used cell phones, inkjet cartridges, digital cameras, camcorders, and
hand held electronic games can also be placed in this box. The flags will be
disposed of in a proper manner. All electronic equipment will be recycled by
an environmentally responsible company and the proceeds from the recycling will be donated to Special Olympics.
We have postponed registration as of August 29. We will start taking registrations again on September 16. We are still in need of catechists, co‐catechists, teen helpers and office staff at all sessions. St. Mark Faith Formation is only possible with the ‘Co‐workers in the Vineyard of the Lord.’ Special Note: If you see a flag on a business establishment that is in need
of replacement, please talk with the store manager, thank him for flying the
Stars and Stripes, and ask that the unserviceable flag be replaced and given
to you. You should then place the flag into the flag box identified above. The
flag is the symbol of our nation and it is important that it be displayed and
maintained properly.

Todavía estamos en la necesidad de catequistas, compañeros de catequistas, ayudantes adolescentes y personal de oficina en todas las sesiones. Formación de fe en St Mark sólo es posi‐
We would like to extend an invitation to anyone who may be interested in joining our outreach group. We meet on Tues. at 6:30pm in the Conference Room 202 of the Smyth Pastoral Center. The needs of our community continue to grow and expand so the need for Client Advocates (making home visits) is always in great demand. You will be assisting another advocate and are never expected to work alone. We are in need of a Webmaster to update and expand our web page so it has meaningful content for our clients. Also, we need assistance with our SVdP Thrift initiative. We have a need to compile available jobs in the Plano area and identify shared apartment locations for those singles on a limited income. Homelessness is a serious problem in Plano and it is growing! Retiro para Catequistas
Habrá un retiro para todos/as los catequistas el sábado, 14 de septiembre de 8:45am‐3:30pm en el Great Room en las oficinas de la parroquia. Tema: Ábran la Puerta de la Fe Por favor de traer un platillo de comida para com‐
partir con los demás. Este retiro está abierto para cualquier persona que sirve en otro ministerio. We would like to expand our services in our parish neighborhood, but we need more help to addresses the growing needs. The St. Vincent de Paul Society is extremely blessed to have such a supporting parish. We wish to thank each and every one of you for the support you have provided us.
