Backpack Blessing

Every year St. Mark’s supports Holy Family Ministries, a ministry partner of Episcopal Charities, by purchasing and donating school supplies and backpacks for children going back to school. Holy Family School is in North Lawndale with all its students in need of financial assistance to attend.

While purchasing supplies for your own family this fall, help the children at Holy Family by buying some extra supplies or a backpack. Sunday August 11, backpacks and other supplies will be blessed at all services.  You may visit the Amazon wish list, using the QR Code or the link below to make your purchases and have them shipped to
