Works of Mercy A Note from Fr. John

Good News!

Dear Parishioners,

Thanks to your generous support, we paid off our

parish mortgage! I know that you are as happy as I am

about achieving our goal. Fr. Patrick Kennedy, Fr.

Liam Leahy, and Fr. Richard Tomasek, S.J. and all the

priests, deacons and parishioners whose dedication

and generosity made the construction of our parish

church possible should be remembered in thankful

prayer.

Because of all of your sacrifices our parish has

prospered in the mission field. We will continue to

collect donations for our new building fund for the

completion of our master plan. These funds will be

used in all new construction.

May God bless you all and keep us strong in faith to

serve our community.

Fr. John Arnold

Pastor, St. Mark the Evangelist Parish

Dee Paula Subran Johnson

1946 - 2020

Dee Paula Subran Johnson, 73, passed away on Friday May 15th,

peacefully at home, surrounded by family. Dee was born on June 18,

1946 to John and Angela Subran. She was a loving and faithful wife of

38 years to Jessie Johnson, who preceded her in death. She is

survived by her son, Kwesi Hazel, and daughter-in-law, Kari Hazel,

who loved and cared for her in her last 15 months. Her

grandchildren, Brittney (29), Skyler (25)- who also cared for her,

Bleu (24), Seven (21), Jayden (19), and youngest grandchild- Star (16);

and her great grandchild Phoenix (son of Bleu); as well as her

brothers Kevern, Gary, Bertrand, Russell and her sisters: Karen and

their spouses. Sisters Veronica and Enid preceded her in death.

Dee took life by the horns and did it her own way. Forever the

hostess, she loved to throw football parties and kept her guests’

glasses full, plates heavy and laughter in the air. She loved her family

and friends. Her heart belonged to her grandchildren and each had a

special relationship with her. There wasn’t a song she didn’t love to sing. She would put on her headphones,

start her favorite songs and melt into the music. Dee was loved by many and will be missed by all. We love you.

There was a funeral Mass on Thursday, June 25, 2020 at 10:30 am here at St. Mark Catholic Church.
