What Saint Mark’s Means to Me

The first time I came to Saint Mark's, I knew I was home. I found a community that deeply appreciates the transformative power of liturgy and music. I discovered a diverse congregation committed to serving others and devoted to spirituality. I encountered preaching that challenged and uplifted me. I connected with new friends with whom I can share my spiritual journey, love and laughter. I know that God wants me to be at Saint Mark's, simply because He wants me to be happy. And I am! - Martha A.

Saint Mark’s means holy meditation and a place for everyone. And it’s a very good place to calm down and relax. - Truman, age 10

Although God is with us everywhere and at all times and in all places, God is with me in a special way here at Saint Mark’s Church. His presence is palpable at the altar. There is music of every generation vibrating through its Mass, as if the stone itself is singing, as if every hymn from the mouths of every faithful soul who’s come before me ricochets from its sturdy pillars and through my heart. “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” – Revelation 5:13 - Kenny P.

My family came to Saint Mark’s when I was seven years old. I joined the Choir of Boys & Girls, and immediately found a community and family there, as well as a love of music. As a member of the choir for eleven years, I have found such a strong sense of community and faith through music and the people in the parish. Children are welcomed with open arms and encouraged to be active members in all sorts of ways. To me, Saint Mark’s is more than just a group of people gathered to worship, but a second family that has supported me in my childhood and now beyond. - Chiara, age 18

When newcomers ask me why I chose Saint Mark's, I tell them two things: the people and the Daily Office. It is a great blessing to be able to embed myself in a vibrant community with a consistent rhythm of worship—what more could I want? - Avery D.

I was initially attracted to Saint Mark’s Church due to its commitment to outreach, and how liturgy and Mass are celebrated. Over the years this love of Saint Mark’s is sustained through the commitment of “loving God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving my neighbor as myself.” - Robbin M.
