This week Fr. Mark will be traveling to St. Charles, Illinois to participate in a Mass of Consecration to the Blessed Mother, Mary, Star of Evangelization, for ODB Films on Wednesday January 4.  Fr. Mark has been a fan and supporter of ODB Films since their inception in 2005 as Outside da Box and currently serves as an Honorary Committee Member for their Partners on the Journey Campaign to raise $1.75 million to produce a full-length film on the life of St. Paul and other inspiring award winning videos for teens and adults on the Catholic faith as they have done since 2005 including their 2015 award winning full-length movie, FULL OF GRACE, on Mary of Nazareth’s last earthly days as she helps the fractious early Church regain their original encounter with the Lord.  [Stay tuned for an Evening of Reflection sometime in 2017 at St. Bernard on this film with ODB Films Founder and Executive Producer, Eric Groth.]  Thus, Fr. Mark will be out of town Tuesday afternoon until Thursday afternoon.
