ST. MARK PARISH LIFE

Would you like to join in and get more involved with the monthly gatherings hosted by the Emmaus Pastorate Disability Inclusion Committee?

Opportunities include helping host and set up, preparing food, giving rides, providing musical talent, and socializing and celebrating anyone having a birthday that month.

Community Euchre Continues
Join in on the fun, playing Euchre in the St. Mark parish center every Tuesday during the winter months. We start at 1 pm and are done by 4 pm, after a light dessert and coffee. Two dollars per person are collected and paid out to the top three scores. Door prizes are provided from the dimes generously donated by those who get set! If the Ed-Co schools cancel due to weather, so will we. Come out and join us for a friendly game of cards and some good conversation. Call Jane Christiansen at 563-920-5967 for more information.
