for children, age 4 through grade 5, Youth Forum
for those in grades 6 to 12 and Adult Forum. At
St. Mark's we strive to provide all ages
with a deepening knowledge of the Christian faith, as
well as providing spiritual growth for our lives as
Christians.

is
a Christian Education program for children ages 3 through 9. Catechesis is offered
Wednesday evenings beginning at 5:00 PM.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and then moves to a more
in-depth discussion guided by the parish clergy. All
adults are welcome to attend this very informative
discussion-oriented class. The evening concludes with Holy Eucharist at 7:00 PM.

Scripture.
