St. Mark in Action!!!

Branching Out In Prayer

“Lord, thank you for all fathers! For the new ones, who endure sleepless nights with infants in arms. For the busy ones, who juggle the pressures of home and family life. For the steadfast ones, who nurture and care for our special vulnerable children. Most of all, we give thanks for You, Father God, for Your goodness, loving-kindness, and majesty!”
