From the Pastor
Jesus shows no preference when it
comes to those who believe. If you
believe, no matter who or what you
are, you can be saved. If you do not
believe, it does not matter who you
are. As is written in our Second Reading
from James, we, too, are called to that
same kind of attitude: “Brothers and
Sisters, show no partiality as you adhere to the faith in
our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.”
the poor have learned to trust God to a greater extent
than others. Thus, their faith may be deeper. We need
to find that trust in God in our lives.
The Gospel reading from St. Mark indicates that Jesus
and His followers were traveling and arrived in the
“region of Decapolis.” Decapolis means “ten cities” in
Greek, and it was an area just east of the Sea of Galilee,
and a region with which Jesus (who was from the
northern end of the Sea and of Galilee) was familiar. The
people there were Gentiles, so it is probable that both
those who presented the man for healing to the Lord, as
well as the man himself, were not Jewish. However, as
James states, the Lord shows no partiality. Make no
mistake; Jesus knew what He was doing at every
moment, and everything He did and said was significant
to us and our understanding. Our goal as Catholics and
Christians is to answer the Lord’s call to discipleship and
stewardship and holiness, and in the process of taking
action in response to that summons, we are to minister
and serve with no regard to judgment or bias. Loving our
neighbor is a command, not a choice, and loving our
neighbor indiscriminately is Jesus’ way.
The Gospel records a remarkable healing of a man who
could not hear or speak. Our First Reading from Isaiah
refers to similar events when Isaiah, looking to the
future of the Kingdom here on earth, states, “Then will
the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be
cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag; then the
tongue of the mute will sing.” Each of our lives is filled
with challenges and trials. Isaiah tells us that our
strength is in God. When John the Baptist was in prison,
he began to doubt (a test each of us faces) and he sent
people to pose a question to Jesus. The Lord’s response
was “Go and report to John what you have heard and
seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise, the poor have
the gospel preached to them.” (Matthew 11: 4)
Blessings, Fr. John

The Great Adventure Bible Study
At the core of program is the concept that even though the Bible is, in essence,
a library of 73 separate books. Running through it is a story that ties all books
together and makes sense, not just of them, but of our lives as well.
That story is God’s plan as it has unfolded in history and continues
today. Once we get a grasp of that “big picture,” the Mass readings
begin to make sense, our Scripture reading and study come to life,
and we see how our lives fit into God’s loving plan.
This is a three phase, 24 week study that will occur over 18 months
(fall 2015, spring and fall 2016). This study expands upon the overview taught
in the Quick Journey through the Bible, going further into 12 periods of Bible
history, focusing on the 14 books of the Bible that tell the story chronologically.
The first phase of the study begins Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 10 am in Room 204 and
runs for 8 consecutive weeks. Please register by Sept. 15 to ensure we have
your material. Cost is $20.00 and includes all course material for the 24 weeks.
To register for the study email donna.smith@stmarknc.org or call

understanding of the Word of God and the Catholic Faith.
The 20 compelling sessions, presented by some of the most trusted Catholic teachers in the world, guides
parishioners through the breadth and richness of our Catholic faith. As a member of our parish, you can access

Medical Outreach Day
When: Sept. 13; 8:30 am-1:00 pm
Where: Family Center
Health opportunities for you! St. Mark and the Knights
of Columbus are sponsoring a “Medical Outreach Day.”
We will be hosting two key events: one which will
benefit others and the other to benefit YOU.
• Join us in the Parish Hall for a FLU SHOT made
available to us by Rite Aid to prepare you for the
upcoming flu season. We will have a list of the
insurance companies which cover the cost of the
shot. Most insurance companies do cover it. The
cost of the shot is $30.00 if not covered by your
insurance company.
• The other outreach is a BLOOD DRIVE, sponsored by
the Knights of Columbus. Our goal is to have 65
donors. Our local area hospitals require more than
400 units of blood daily. Blood is needed not only
for emergencies, but also for continual transfusions
for patients suffering from cancer, heart disease
and other serious illnesses. By donating you can
provide a lifetime of difference for our suffering
brothers and sisters.
To schedule an appointment online; log onto
www.cbcc.us.
• Click on donor logins and appointments.
• Create an account.
• Click on "Donate Blood or Platelets" and enter
sponsor code, Mark, to find St. Mark's blood
drive.
• Schedule your time early to obtain a time that is
convenient for you. Walk-ins are also welcome.
• If you prefer, you can sign up at the Knights of
Columbus table after Mass on designated
weekends (listen for the Altar announcement).
Please note that there are no issues with getting the
shot and giving blood on the same day. Thank you for
your support in both of these ministries.

Other Opportunities
Adopt a (College) Student
I’m looking for a few more St. Mark families to “adopt” a
Davidson College Catholic student this year. Students
often long for a home away from home, for the
opportunity to interact with a “normal” family, for an
escape from the pressures and craziness of college life. If
you’re interested in supporting a student (inviting them to
dinner, attending a Davidson event with them, sending an
occasional care package or card, etc.) please contact
Karen Soos, the Catholic campus minister at Davidson:
kasoos@davidson.edu, 704-894-2423. Thanks!
Catholic Campus Ministry
Are you a college student or
the parent of a college
student? There are Catholic
Campus Ministry programs at
over ten colleges in our

8 de Sept. Fiesta de la Virgen de Coromoto
La historia relata que en 1591 al ser fundada la ciudad de Guanare, los indígenas que
habitaban en la región, los Cospes, huyeron hacia la selva en el Norte de la ciudad. Esto
dificultaba la evangelización que la iglesia Católica había emprendido. Alli la Virgen María
apareció ante el cacique Coromoto y su mujer, exhortándoles en su propia lengua a recibir el
bautismo de los hombres blancos.
Coromoto no obedeció, por lo que la Bella Señora se le apareció nuevamente el 8 de
septiembre de 1652. Molesto, él le exigió que lo dejase tranquilo, pero la Señora lo abrazó.
El cacique trató entonces de agarrarla por el brazo, y al instante todo quedó envuelto en
tinieblas. “Aquí la tengo”, exclamó, pero al abrir su mano para mostrarla a las mujeres que
se hallaban presentes, contemplaron un retrato con el rostro de una bella mujer, que es la
reliquia que se venera actualmente en el Santuario Nacional Nuestra Señora de Coromoto.
Cuenta el relato que luego Coromoto fue mordido por una serpiente venenosa y, herido y
moribundo, volvió a Guanare, donde comenzó a pedir el bautismo. Tras serle administrado el
sacramento, se convirtió y comenzó a exhortar a los cospes para que se bautizaran.
Finalmente, Coromoto, quien adoptó el nombre cristiano de Ángel Custodio, murió en buena vejez.
El 1º de mayo de 1942, la Virgen de Coromoto fue declarada Patrona de Venezuela por el Episcopado Nacional. El 7
de octubre de 1944, S. S. Pío XXII, la proclamó "Celeste y Principal Patrona de toda la República de Venezuela", y su
coronación canónica se celebró en 1952. El Santuario Nacional a la Virgen de Coromoto fue declarado Basílica por S.
S. Pío XII el 24 de mayo de 1949. El Papa Juan Pablo II la coronó en su visita al Santuario mariano en Guanare, y en
2006 el Papa Benedicto XVI elevó el Santuario Nacional de Nuestra Señora de Coromoto a la categoría de Basílica
Menor.
