May all the blessings of this holy season be with you as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas from all of us at St. Mark School and Parish.
O our Lady of Guadalupe, mystical rose, make intercession for Holy Church, protect the Sovereign Pontiff, help all those who invoke thee in their necessities, and since thou art the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from thy most holy Son the grace of keeping our faith, sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life, burning charity and the precious gift of final perseverance, Amen.
During Advent, as we prepare for the birth of Christ at Christmas, we also celebrate one of the great feasts of the Catholic Church, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
