Homebound Ministry:
The role of the Homebound Ministry is to reach out to people who are homebound and assure them that they remain an important part of our parish and community. The Homebound Ministers go to the homes of parishioners. During this time, the Homebound Ministers visit with the Homebound, pray with them, and present them with the Eucharist.
This ministry is available to any Catholic who is not able to regularly attend church for Mass. It can be for a long term or a short term, such as after surgery or short term illness. If you or someone you know is in need of this ministry, please contact the parish office.

Anointing of the Sick:
"Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters (priests) of the church,
and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of Lord.....
If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven."
Jas 5:14-15
and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of Lord.....
If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven."
Jas 5:14-15
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is one of healing sacraments of the Church and is not meant only for those who are at the point of death. "Hence as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived.: (CCC 1514). An illness of a serious nature is sufficient reason for the Sacrament. Additionally, impending surgery or when suffering from the frailty of old age are also appropriate reasons to request or celebrate this Sacrament. Sick children, too, may be anointed if they have sufficient reason and understanding to be comforted by it.
When you are going to the hospital, inform the parish office as soon as you know the date of admittance. If you are not able to inform the parish yourself, ask a member of your immediate family to do so for you. You may request the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick be celebrated prior to admittance, or when you are in the hospital.
If you are homebound, or in a healthcare facility (either permanently or temporarily) please call the parish office as soon as possible. If you are not able to inform the parish, ask a member of your immediate family to do so. You may request Anointing of the Sick, as well as Communion, Confession, and/or pastoral visits. You may also request Anointing of the Sick after weekend masses, just approach the priest.

Prayer for Vocations
All-Holy, merciful God,
Eternal Father of our LORD, Jesus Christ,
Giver of the Holy Spirit to the humble of heart:
We parishioners of the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings,
seeking your face at St. Mark’s, St. Mary’s,
and Most Holy Trinity parishes,
ask you to inspire men who are zealous for doing your will
to be open to, and to seek, your call to serve as priests or deacons
in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
We are your people, most loving God,
and we ask that you provide for us shepherds
according to your own heart--
Men of firm faith and warm charity, filled with joyful hope,
committed to the Way of Jesus Christ unto death,
serving obediently and respectfully under our Bishop,
and dedicated to seeking our spiritual good
and Spirit-filled life in these parishes.
We offer You our heart-felt prayer,
confidently trusting that you will do
what is for the eternal salvation
and the temporal well-being of your beloved children.
To You be glory and thanksgiving,
through Christ Jesus our LORD,
now and forever. Amen!
