Throughout Holy Week St. Mark’s clergy provided brief video introductions to each Diocesan- wide service. One parishioner wrote,
“The services have been wonderful. Having our clergy do introductions was especially nice.”
Another wrote,
“We so appreciate all the hard work and effort you have given to provide the parishioners a St. Mark’s online service. We certainly miss the Community of the church but are most grateful for the online connection during the unsettling coronavirus period.”
In addition, St. Mark’s was able to reach exponentially more people on Good Friday compared to customary in-person services. One mother of four young children said it was the first Good Friday service she and her family had been able to attend together and thanked us for making it “virtual”.
