St. Mark's School -

Come check our what our St. Mark's Early Childhood Program has to offer!

It's not too early to start thinking about dinner for TOMORROW night! Come out to Double A's and support SMS at the same time!

During Lent, we focus more intently on "almsgiving," which may be donating resources for the poor or doing other acts of charity. Together with the Daughters of St. Francis, our students raised funds to provide aid to their Sisters serving directly with families in Ukraine.

Today we join our world in prayer.

Praying for Ukraine.

Congratulations to our 7th and 8th grader who received their Sacrament of Confirmation this evening. “Come Holy Spirit”.

O God, in your ineffable providence you were pleased to choose Blessed Joseph to be the spouse of your most holy Mother; grant, we beg you, that we may be worthy to have him for our intercessor in heaven whom on earth we venerate as our Protector: You who live and reign forever and ever. Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Irish Blessings to all our friends and family! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

We are overwhelmed with such gratitude for everyone who made the school auction such am amazing night! None of this would even be possible, if it were not for the hard work of so many people. Our goal this year was to raise funds to create an updated playground and outdoor learning space for our students. Check out our video we shared last night: Video link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hhfsONnVGj5B4TD7U7QiP-oIgbvgiYfn/view?usp=drivesdk There is still time to be a part of helping us build an amazing outdoor playground and learning space for our students. Every dollar counts towards making this dream a reality for our students and staff!
