In March 2009, St. Mark purchased the Legacy Bank building and the bank continued to lease it until September 2010. The remodeling project began in December 2010. Our New Parish Center was completed August 2011. This New Parish Center includes two halls, available for rental, and the Parish offices.
Over the years, St. Mark the Evangelist has welcomed parishioners of many diverse backgrounds and cultures all of whom enrich our community. We are blessed with a large Spanish-speaking community and offer three of our Sunday liturgies in Spanish. At any Mass at St. Mark, you will find a diverse Body of Christ, bringing many gifts to the whole community. There are many opportunities to answer our Baptismal Call of Service and we invite all parishioners to be involved in areas that most fit their spiritual, individual and family needs.

Tomorrow is a VERY SPECIAL DAY! It’s St. Padre Pio’s birthday and Ireland votes on whether to keep the 8th Amendment of their constitution which protects the unborn from abortions on demand. Let’s pray for Padre Pio’s intercession so that #Ireland keeps protecting the unborn and that they may never let the abortion industry in their country which only takes advantage of women in crisis pregnancy situations🙏❤️🇮🇪 #CatholicConnect #SaveThe8th #Prolife #SaveTheBabies #HumanRights #Love #Compassion #CareForAll #Care #LifeIsGood #PrayTheRosary
