Default St Mark

These posts are old (except the last)!

St Mark's 660 seat hall was originally built by St Timothy's in 2005 to be a mission church, with Masses to be said by St Timothy's priests.

Rather than it being run as a mission Church, The Bishop of the Orlando Diocese recruited the Pauline Fathers to run this Church. The little hall was full as soon as it opened.

The Pauline order is based in Poland and has a shrine in Doylestown, PA http://www.czestochowa.us/. They operate several parishes in the US (Chicago, Buffalo, Yonkers, etc.). In December, 2009 St Mark parishioners opened a beautiful 1,900+ seat church. Since the opening there has hardly ever a standee at any of the 5 weekend Masses - even Christmas and Easter.

There is a choir loft with a new top-of-the-line organ. Nancy Kiser heads the music ministry and I feel does an excellent job. The choir usually sings at the 10:00 am Mass on Sunday, but they have been away lately.

There is even a Polish language Mass once a month.

We love our Church!
