WELCOME
‘Love God; and love each other.’ – Jesus
God’s dream for the world is that we live in just peace and tender harmony, fostering a global community in which each members’ rights and responsibilities are affirmed and fulfilled. This community is marked by ‘love,’ in thought, word, and deed. For Christians, there’s nothing esoteric about this ‘love’ – it is visible, tangible, measureable – which means, for the Church, it’s also something we can, and do, practice together.
Through prayer, study, and service, Saint Mark’s members and friends are encouraged to practice a ‘rule of life’ dedicated to falling in love with God and with each other. Shaped by the three-fold Benedictine spiritual framework of stability, obedience, and conversion of life, we seek ‘solid ground’ in a changing and turbulent world, we seek ‘guidance’ amidst myriad concerns and distractions, and we seek ‘growth and maturity’ as disciples of Jesus.
Come and see!

Advent Retreat
There is a Celtic saying that heaven and earth are only three feet apart, but in the thin places that distance is even smaller. A thin place is where the veil that separates heaven and earth is lifted and one is able to receive a glimpse of the glory of God.
Join us for a retreat December 8th in All Saints Chapel of contemplative celtic prayer: an experience with chants, prayers, readings, with a presentation and discussion led by Edward Sellner.
“WE ARE CREATIVE, PROGRESSIVE PARTNERS IN GOD’S MISSION OF RADICAL LOVE AND WE AFFIRM THE DIGNITY OF EVERY HUMAN BEING.”
