Did you know that St. Mark has more than

40 different ministries that serve our church

and the greater Southside community.

They wouldn’t be possible without the

hard work and dedication of our

parish volunteers, but we could always use

more hands to support those ministries. Join

ministry heads, volunteers, and the Stewardship Committee after each Mass on March 2-3 to learn more about the work

that St. Mark is doing. New opportunities to enjoy the community while generously sharing your gifts await!

Community


Changing Lives Forever Program The Society of St Vincent de Paul offers a free program to individuals who want to

work toward having a better quality of life. Most people don’t choose to live in poverty but don’t have the tools or education to plan for a new tomorrow. Attendees of the Changing Lives Forever Program will be developing a plan with specific goals for a better future during the 18- week course. They work in groups of 14 and attend a three-hour session once a week. This year 10 parishes in Indianapolis will be hosting a Changing Lives Forever program which means 140 people will be developing specific plans to change their lives! Upon graduation, they are offered the opportunity to have a trained Mentor to help them with their plan. A Mentor can make a difference when change gets really hard—the difference between giving up or moving forward with hope and faith. We will be needing volunteers who would like to be a trained Mentor to someone who has graduated. Training involves (2) two-hour classes. Your commitment to the graduate is six hours per month (you set the times) for one year. For further information about being a Mentor in the Changing Lives Forever Program call either Joe Doll, 317-919-1419 ([email protected]) or Domoni Rouse, Director of Changing Lives, 317-924-5769 Ext 219 ([email protected])
