Established as a parish of the Colorado Springs Diocese on Easter Sunday, April 23, 2000,
we became St. Mark Catholic Church to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ as journeying people.
We will model the gospel of Saint Mark and make sure those considered on the "outside" of
society are truly on the "inside" of the Kingdom of God. "No one will be left in the dust."
Our motto is "We can be kind and we can take care of each other." We would be honored to have
you worship with us.
