Thank you to the amazing families who support St Mark School! Our kids learn the lessons of their faith at school and see that faith lived out in their families. Thank you for believing in the value of a Catholic education. #CSW23 #smsmarksmen
Classroom patron Saints are chosen each year. Students have a chance to learn in depth about different saints as they grow at St. Mark School. Looking to the Saints as models in virtue is a beautiful way to grow closer to Jesus.
SMS 8th grade students researched, wrote, and illustrated books on each classroom patron saint in our school. Today, the students presented each homeroom with their bound book as well as a prayer card they created for the class. What a special gift!

All you holy men and women, pray for us! #csw23 #smsmarksmen
In gratitude for those in our community who answered God’s call to serve their faith, we celebrate the role of vocations in Catholic education. We also offer our prayers for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life in our diocese. #CSW23 #smsmarksmen
