Ministry Opportunities
ministry opportunities
The various ministries of St. Mark Parish offer numerous opportunities to connect with our Parish Community. Our vibrant and Spirit-filled Ministries offer our parishioners a place to grow in faith, serve others, and deepen their Catholic identity. Within the ministries, you will meet others in the Body of Christ who share your values, and be able to reach out to serve both the parish and wider community. We hope there’s something for everyone here. If not, we encourage you to join us in sharing your time, talent, and treasure and even in creating new ministries for the future!
