SaFE and sacred training
Safe and Sacred is the child protection program for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The training program is completely conducted online and includes processing of a background check and Code of Conduct. The purpose of the “Safe and Sacred” program is to provide easier access to child protection training for clergy, employees, and volunteers. It allows us to broaden the focus of the training to increase awareness of all forms of child abuse. Safe and Sacred includes an assessment that must be taken and passed to ensure that training content is learned and can be applied. Who is Required to Sign Up for this Program? Safe and Sacred Training is a requirement for all volunteers regardless of their ministry area. If you are 18 years of age or older and you volunteer in any ministries here at St. Mark, you must comply with all the requirements prior to volunteering. Click here to access the Safe and Sacred site. Please contact the Parish Center at 787-8246 if you have any questions. -

National vocation awareness week - november 4 - 10, 2018
INFORM * INVITE * INSPIRE - As Catholics, we firmly believe that God has a plan for our lives. Fully living our own vocations and teaching young people how to discern God's call is a serious but joyful duty. During this week, please pray how God is calling you to live your vocation more deeply. Encourage the young people in your life to be open if God calls them to the priesthood, diaconate or consecrated life. Please ask Our Lord for more dedicated, holy priests, deacons and consecrated men and women. May they be inspired by Jesus Christ, supported by our faith community, and respond generously to God’s gift of a vocation.
a Vocation Mass will be celebrated at 7 p.m. on Monday, November 12th at St. Barnabas. At this Mass, prayers for current vocations, those discerning a vocation and those ignoring God's call will be offered. Please plan to attend. -

Knights of columbus fundraiser
Buy Crew E-washes through the Knights of Columbus Crew Carwash Fundraiser and what you spend is the amount that will go to buy a new ultrasound!
The Crew fundraiser program allows us to keep 50% of the wash sale proceeds, but the Knights of Columbus will match what we raise, so what you spend will be the amount that goes to purchase an ultrasound machine! E-washes are good at any Crew Carwash and do not have an expiration date.
E-washes are easy to buy! Go to:www.crewcarwash.com/store/e-wash-gifts Use the “BUY NOW” and choose a quantity from four types of wash and then “ADD TO CART”.
You can continue shopping to add more wash types but before checking out, ENTER 50231 IN THE PROMO CODE and Apply Code.
This is the code for the Ultrasound Fundraiser. Then click “SEND AS GIFT.” For our parish to be recognized as the contributor, type “St. Mark 3660 or 16466 or your council number” in the GIFT MESSAGE field.

Please do not include any pump lids from hand soap, etc. because they have metal in them. The St. Mark Pro Life Committee is collecting lids to make a bench for the St. Mark campus. Drop off your lids in the tote near the St. Vincent de Paul collection bin. We will need 10 55 gallon bags of lids and $225 for the bench. Watch the bulletin, we plan to have a bake sale to earn the money needed for the bench. If anyone has extra garage space where we could store the lids, please contact Sharon Shockey at 317-784-2690.
