All are welcome. Come as you are.

We Are Building a Little Rolling Library

Bring your used books and drop them on the rolling cart in the entrance for others to enjoy. Shelf categories are religious, children’s, paperbacks, fiction and nonfiction—so pick the best category for your book to go.

See a book you’d like to read? Help yourself and return it when you’re done reading it.

Thank you for dropping a book so we can get the library rolling.

No Formation Classes this Sunday

St. Mark's formation classes will be on hold this Sunday, January 29, to make space for Annual Meeting & the following Pancake Breakfast. We'll pick up formation again - for all ages - the following Sunday.
