THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
The Gospel of Mark is the shortest gospel of the four gospels,
however, it is most likely the first written and his narrative is taut
and compelling. Our Summer Series will be The Gospel of
Mark, given by Fr. Joe Rankin on Tuesdays, June 16 and 23, and
then July 7, 14, 21, and 28. We will meet in the St. Rita Casper
Center at 6:30 p.m. There will be Catechist credit for this series.
Please bring your Bible and a friend.
