St. Mark Parish and School Celebrates 136 Years Serving the Catholic Faithful

72 Disciples: Ministry to Homebound & Sick

“…the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he he intended to visit. He said to them, ‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the mster of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.'”
– Luke 10:1-2

The 72 Disciples ministry brings Jesus the Divine Physician, Healer of the Sick, into the home of the soul to nourish, strengthen and heal. For those unable to attend Mass, we as missionaries go to the sick, coming together as one in Christ Jesus.

72 Disciples Ministry is formerly known as St. Mark’s Communion to the Sick and Homebound Ministry. The members of this ministry visit those unable to come to Mass, whether at their own homes or in nursing homes, and take them Holy Communion. When a priest is requested, Father Santhosh will visit.
