If you love truth, be a lover of silence. Silence, like the sunlight, will illuminate you in God.

Everyone is invited to wish Fr. Paul Godspeed at a BBQ/Picnic at St. Mark's after the 5:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday, June 23. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. The Knights of Columbus will be providing hamburgers and hot dogs. Thank you to Barb Francetich and Holy Trinity for the wonderful retirement party on Sunday, June 10, and for the parish and personal gifts to me (Fr. Paul) - thank you very much. |
If you wish to follow Fr. Paul after he retires, his writings will continue to be posted here, as well as at his own website, which will be published - 'go live' - after he retires.
Blood Drawing:
Raynesford Community Center on Tuesday, June 26 from 1:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Call Lois Hill at 406-738-4248 for an appointment. Donating blood helps others live.
In all things, peace: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
All parishes in the Diocese of Great Falls are being asked to contribute to paying off the large civil law suit against the Diocese. Amounts have been determined proportioned to each parish’s annual collection. To pay off the diocesan lawsuit, St. Mark’s contributed $36,600; Holy Trinity, $16,600; St. Mary’s contributed $11,300. Even those these are sizable portions of our annual collection, our parishes remain financially sound.
Fr. Rodrigo Mingollo:
Fr. Rodrigo Mingollo has been assigned to St. Mark’s, St. Mary’s, and Holy Trinity parishes as pastoral administrator beginning July 1, 2018. He will function as pastor in reality, without the title “pastor” because he is not incardinated into the Diocese of Great Falls. Rather, he belongs to the Diocese of Richmond, Virginia.

Christian Meditation:
On Tuesday evenings at 5:45 p.m., Fr. Paul teaches Christian Meditation - sitting in prayerful silence - at the former Most Blessed Sacrament Chapel in Black Eagle. All are welcome!

We are in need of Mass intentions, especially at St. Mark's and St. Mary's. Your $10.00 suggested donation contributes to your own parish, and is a good way to honor the memory of those whom we love.

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!
