About Fr. Mark (excerpted from his 2018 “How I became a priest” article for St. Joseph’s Church):
 
“I attended 6:30 am Mass every day at Presentation Parish before my classes at Lincoln High School.  I also tried to do a daily holy hour in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, following the famous recommendation of Bishop Fulton Sheen.  As the only young man in the Legion of Mary group,   I was “blessed among women” at meetings.  As a high school foreign exchange student in France, I discovered that most French people are non-practicing Catholics, who were  amazed that I wanted to attend daily Mass.  By bicycle, I went to countless wonderful churches! Attending Delta College for two years, I played on the soccer team and gradually  began to lose interest in becoming a priest.  Next, I studied journalism at Chico State University, becoming a disc jockey for a campus radio station.  I also attended parties and chased girls (but God prevented me from catching any!)  Throughout, I was not able to drown out the voice of God calling me to the priesthood.  I felt unfulfilled and resumed my practice of daily Mass and holy hour, and decided to enter the seminary.  When I told my roommates about my decision, they said it was “cool,” and I found out that some of them were Catholic.  After two years of college seminary, I was sent for five years of theology study in Rome.  This was a blessing, as I was able to visit the shrines of Europe and the Holy Land.  I received a theology degree from the “Gregorian University” and a license degree (S.T.L.) in moral theology from the “John Paul II Institute for Studies of Marriage and Family.”   Upon finishing my studies, I returned home and was ordained a priest by Bishop Donald Montrose on September 24, 1988.”
 
Fr. Mark is pleased to return to his “home parish” and looks forward to serving the parishioners of Presentation Parish.

It also engages parishioners of all ages in stewardship practices and connecting the overall concept of stewardship with the parish’s mission to become a more deeply Christ-centered and Eucharist-centered community of faith. The Stewardship Council meets regularly to carry out and evaluate the stewardship effort on an annual basis, prepare a time and talent list or catalog of parish activities and organizations, ensure that those who volunteer are contacted and asked to become involved and updating of ministry and parishioner information.
