St. Joseph Code Blue Shelter - A Work of God
When the temperature drops to 32 degrees or below, living on the street goes from simply miserable to life-threatening, and therefore, extra effort is made by the city and the county to provide shelter for the homeless on those dangerously cold nights. With the agreement and cooperation of the pastor, and with all the approvals, permits, and permissions needed from the various authorities, the sisters in Atlantic City were eager to venture into this new realm of ministry, this necessary work of mercy.

Known and Loved: Healed by Jesus in the Eucharist
"I Am With You Always" - Eucharistic Testimony Videos from the Sisters Five years ago, Our Lord present in the Holy Eucharist, healed Sr. Rosa of a deformity in her legs from birth. Miraculously, in an instant, during a moment of Adoration, the bones in her legs moved - something "ordinary bread" could never do! Uniting ourselves to the Eucharistic Revival called by our Bishops in the United States, the sisters will share their life-changing encounters with Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Mary Our Mother - Ep32: Our Lady is the Queen of the month of May and we can honour her
Sr Therese loves Our Lady and wants to help you to love her too. It is the perfect time to focus our hearts on Our Lady, because May is the Month of Mary in the Church. We hear in the Gospel how Jesus invites us to make Mary our mother. Sister then helps us to reflect upon how we can grow closer to Our Lady and her son Jesus. We ask for Our Lady's help in prayer and then sing one of our favourite hymns 'As I Kneel Before You (Ave Maria)' This Celebration of the Word welcomes children into the Month of Mary. This celebration of the Word from The Mark 10 Mission is a wonderful way for children to experience the Holy Gospel. We pray that, through this video, they are able to encounter the true presence Jesus.

Come And See: Jesus invites you to come closer - Ep17: 2nd Week in Ordinary Time
Jesus is always inviting us to spend time with him. In the Gospel, we hear how Jesus invites Andrew and his friend to "Come and see" where he lives. We don't know what happened that afternoon, but after spending time in Jesus' presence, Andrew knows that he has met the Messiah, the chosen one. Sr Chiara reflects upon this beautiful Gospel passage, we draw close to Jesus in prayer and conclude with the hymn 'Here I Am Lord.' Gospel: John 1:35-42 Song: Here I Am Lord This celebration of the Word from The Mark 10 Mission is a wonderful way for school children to experience the Holy Gospel.

St Thérèse Shows Us The Way: Ep5 - 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time & St Thérèse of Lisieux
At the start of October, we always celebrate a wonderful saint. She lived a quiet life but made a huge impact on the Church. Her name is St Thérèse of Lisieux. Today we share the Sunday Gospel and Sr Thérèse links this to the beautiful example we see in the saint she is named after. We pray for the grace to be like St Thérèse and have faith that can uproot a mulberry tree! We then join Gabriel to sing 'Praise.' Join us and celebrate St Therese and hear the Sunday Gospel. This celebration of the Word will help children to celebrate the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time and begin the month of the Holy Rosary. They can join either at school or with their families at home. This celebration of the Word from The Mark 10 Mission is a wonderful way for children to experience the Holy Gospel.

Pentecost: Filled with the Power of the Holy Spirit - Ep37: Feast of Pentecost
On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came like a mighty rushing wind and filled Jesus's friends. Tongues of fire separated on their heads and they were changed forever. With the help of Sr Thérèse, we share with children how they too can be filled with the same Holy Spirit. With him, they can do things beyond their wildest dreams. We pray for an infilling of the Holy Spirit and then sing "Holy Spirit (You are Welcome Here)" with Angel. This celebration of the Word will help children to celebrate Pentecost, either at school or with their families at home. This celebration of the Word from The Mark 10 Mission is a wonderful way for children to experience the Holy Gospel.

Grow Holy in Lent - Ep26: The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree - 3rd Sunday in Lent
Lent is the perfect season to look at our lives honestly and ask 'am I sharing love and kindness with others?' In the Gospel, Jesus shares a beautiful parable that helps us understand that he is always ready to help us grow. Sr Therese explains that Jesus believes that we can be the people we were made to be, that we can be holy. Sister leads us in prayer, picturing Jesus standing before us. We then join Angel and sing one of our favourite hymns 'Here I Am Lord.' This Celebration of the Word helps children to experience the Gospel for the 3rd Sunday of Lent. It shares the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree. We are also continuing our Mission to support Mary’s Meals this Lent as we pray, fast and give for the world’s hungriest children.

Sr. Agnes Holtz, C.F.R. made tennis the center of her life. During her time at college everything revolved around sports and parties until a knee injury forced her to return home, making her feel like everything was being taken away from her. This situation however, allowed her to come closer to God, but she still rejected the Catholic Church because of a lot of confusing Protestant ideas. But her parents’ prayers and a documentary about Eucharistic miracles made her begin her journey back to the Catholic Church and discover that God was calling her to a special mission. https://www.eukmamie.org/en/changing-tracks https://www.eukmamie.org/en/
