Welcome to St. Mark Catholic Church Community
Highlands Ranch, Colorado

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.

Parish Faith Formation
There will be no PFF on Wednesday, May 7, 2008. The next PFF will be held on Wednesday, May 14th from 6:30 to 7:45 pm. The topic will be "Mary, Mother of God" presented by Bishop Richard Hanifen.

Spanish Mass
The St Mark Hispanic Ministry, Hermanos en Cristo, invites you to celebrate Mass in Spanish on Friday, May 9th at 7:00 pm. Father Frank Quezada, Director of Hispanic Ministry for the Colorado Springs Diocese will be our celebrant. Join us afterwards for a gathering in the lower level Parish Hall. Bring a dish to share. See you there!    View Flyer

High School Mission Trip to Cortez
This summer TUFF will be going to Cortez, CO for their Annual Mission Trip, leaving Sunday, June 15th after the 7:30 Mass and returning Friday, June 20th. The trip will consist of home improvement and ministry to young children to help them learn more about Jesus. The HS youth will be handing out M&M containers. Please take a few, enjoy the candy, and fill up the containers with quarters. When full, bring them back to the church to help fund the youth mission trip. Please keep them in your prayers as they "Make a Difference!".    Mission Trip Registration   

Parish Pictorial Directory
St Mark is finalizing a pictorial directory for our church family. Persons interested in working on the layout and/or articles are requested to contact our parish manager, Bridget McEowen at the church office. Due to the overwhelming response, additional dates have been provided for parishioners to schedule a picture session. The link below will take you to the Lifetouch website which has instructions on how to register online for a date-time for your portrait session.    Photo Registration
