Veo Veo - ¿Se acuerdan de este juego cuando eran
niños? ¿Alguna vez lo ha jugado con sus hijos?
Veo, veo algo en el suelo ... las hojas de colores, ¡es
OTOÑO!
Veo, veo algo amarillo ... Las mochilas de Formación de Fe de St.
Mark, ¡Qué prácticas son para guardar todos los materiales de
formación de Fe!
Veo, veo algo más ... los padres que traen a sus hijos a Formación de Fe y después ... van a misa mientras sus hijos están en
clase. ¡ESPERA! ¿Cuándo van sus hijos a Misa? El entrenador de
fútbol pide que su hijo venga a práctica - los lleva. El profesor
pide que su hijo llegue temprano a la escuela para una sesión de
tutoría - los lleva. Dios, nuestro Padre, nos pide A TODOS a celebrar la Misa del Domingo y los días de obligación - ¿Cómo no no
lo vamos a obedecer y llevar a nuestros hijos a misa? Veo, veo
esto y el Santo Padre también.
Veo, veo a niños, adolescentes y adultos llenos de la gracia de
nuestro Señor ... los que están participando en la Misa!

“I Spy” – did you ever play this game when you were growing
up? Have you ever played it with your children?
I Spy something on the ground… colorful leaves, it is FALL!
I Spy something yellow… St. Mark Faith Formation backpacks,
aren’t they GREAT, and so handy for keeping track of your Faith
Formation book, papers and supplies!
I Spy something else… parents bringing their children to Faith
Formation class and then… going to Mass while their children
are in class. WAIT! When do their children go to Mass? The
soccer coach asks your child to be at practice – you take them.
The teacher asks that your child arrive early at school for a
tutoring session – you take them. God, our Father, asks us ALL to
celebrate Mass on Sunday’s and Holy Day’s – GOD asks this –
how can we NOT follow His request, Commandment, and take
them, our children to Mass? I Spy this, so does our Holy Father.
I Spy grace filled children, teens and adults… the ones who are
participating in Mass!
What is Open Youth House?
Open Youth House is starting for Middle School students 6th-8th

hang out and get to know each other through games, sports,
movies, etc.. There is no fee or lesson, just an open environment
for fun and games to allow the students to have a safe environment for fellowship. We encourage students to bring snacks, but
this is not an obligation. Come join us here at St. Mark for food,
fun, and fellowship!
