The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

The Children's Ministry Team held the first Family Rosary event on Saturday, November 11, at 3:00 pm.
Together, families made a simple Rosary suitable for the whole family, especially the children. There was a discussion on the meaning of the
Rosary and the Rosary was prayed.

On Saturday, September 30th, St. Mark Church's Children's Ministry Team sponsored the First Annual Blessing of the Animals.
Over 30 dogs, cats, hamsters, and stuffed animals received a special blessing from Fr. Don on the church steps.
All of the pets and their owners were very well behaved.
Additionally, two large boxes of pet food were collected and then donated to the Stratford Animal Shelter.
