The March Winged Lion has a longer article about the Knights of Columbus efforts for the American Wheelchair Mission. Due to COVID-19 lockdown there was no Wheelchair Sunday collection last June. Funds are at an all-time low. The San Antonio Diocese is the still the second largest donor in Texas and St. Mark’s has been the most generous in San Antonio for years. This is an awesome parish. Many parishioners have inquired about where to send donations.
Please ensure donations clearly note Knights of Columbus Council 7613.
1. Donations by check can be sent directly to the American Wheelchair Mission at:
Dan Moberg
American Wheelchair Mission
2600 E. Seltice Way A-172
Post Falls, ID 83854
(208) 457-0745 dmoberg@amwheelchair.org
2. To use credit card to contribute go to https://amwheelchair.org/donate/.
Please note KC Council 7613 on the form.
Please send me an email jonklauenberg@satx.rr.com or text to 210-421-7962 with name/date/amount for Diocese totals.
Ways to fund one wheelchair.
3. A wheelchair is $150.00. (Any amount will be greatly appreciated)
4. Get several people together to make donations towards a wheelchair. Ten friends giving $15.00 would cover one wheelchair.
5. Skip something like lunch one day and contribute instead. (drop an lb. or two )
6. Looking for a 501-C3a to help with tax liabilities? Dan Moberg sends letters to all who donate at least $150.00. If you need a letter for tax purposes contact me.
7. Make a gift 🎁 of a WHEELCHAIR as a Lenten offering.
Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:40

Celebrate the Rosary and Our Lady for the 103th anniversary of Her miracle of the sun. The Fatima movie now playing in theatres dramatizes our needs, as does the COVID-19 pandemic. This annual St. Mark’s event needs your participation to promote peace in our community and our nation. The Rosary Event takes place at 12 noon on Saturday October 10, next to Bradley Middle School. Last year we joined as one of 24,000 Rosary rallies around the world. Meet at: Noon: Blossom Park, Heimer and Brook Hollow. Social distancing is no problem. Bring chairs for elderly. Rosary starts precisely at 12 noon, so we may pray together with the world! For more information contact Stan Harmen 495-4144 or Secrets of the Rosary group members.
