Deacon Mark and his family have been members of Our Lady of Lourdes for almost 40 years. He has been an active member in our church community throughout the years in school activities, scouting, sports, teaching and leadership roles in many different parish ministries. In 2022, Deacon Mark was ordained a deacon and assigned to the Southwest-7 Family of Parishes, which is inclusive of Our Lady of Lourdes. His service will entail the ministry of the Word, ministry of the liturgy/worship and the ministry of charity and justice throughout the five parishes in this new “family of parishes.”
