FOCUS: All of us are called to serve the Lord and
to serve one another.
LITURGY OF THE WORD: Moses reassures the
people that God will one day raise up a prophet
like him among them. Saint Paul teaches that some
people are called to devote their lives to service to
the Lord. In the Gospel, Saint Mark tells us that
Jesus taught in the synagogue and expelled unclean
spirits. The people were astonished and amazed by
the authority of his words.

school and visited the classrooms with much
enthusiasm. It certainly was a week that provided a
great opportunity for others in our community to
learn about our great school and to celebrate Catholic
