MINISTRIES

At St. Mark's, we are aware that a feeling that one belongs and a feeling that one is contributing are important facets of the parish unity which we foster.

We are also aware that everyone needs to find a way to return to God of his or her time and talent. Thus, we try to provide what we hope will be at least one activity and one service which will appeal to you. We will provide the training needed for you to serve in your chosen ministry.
