"God acts mercifully, not indeed by going against His justice, but by doing something more than justice; thus a man who pays another two hundred pieces of money, though owing him only one hundred, does nothing against justice, but acts liberally or mercifully.”

Thomas P. Barton
September 1, 1953 – November 6, 2026
Please remember in your prayers Tom Barton, a parishioner who died on Friday, November 6th. Tom's obituary can be found HERE.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 10th at 10 am in Holy Sepulcher Church.
For many years Tom helped lead others into the Church through RCIA at Holy Sepulcher Parish and then at Saint Mark Parish. We pray that the Lord now welcomes Tom home, and that his wife Rosemary, his sons, granddaughters, and all his family find comfort in our prayers and in the hope of the Resurrection.

Prayer for Vocations
God our Father,
We thank You for calling men and women to serve in your Son's Kingdom — as priests, deacons, consecrated religious, faithful spouses, and dedicated single persons. Send Your Holy Spirit to inspire others to respond generously and courageously to Your call, wherever it may lead.
May our community of faith nurture and support vocations of sacrificial love, especially among our youth and young adults. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
