Story

St. Mark's is a parish of the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. Our common life is centered in the eucharist (also known as Holy Communion or Mass). There we gather and encounter Christ in the words of scripture read and preached. We also encounter Christ sacramentally in the bread and wine, blessed, broken, and distributed.

We are involved in a number of social outreach and social justice initiatives, and in community activities. We also have a fine choir of both adults and kids, 18 and under.

As we discern the activity of God, we undertake initiatives that draw us towards God and neighbour. These include a Centering Prayer group, a book club (Tuesday Tea & Theology), and a monthly adult study group (5-Minutes Monthly). We are also involved with the Greenwood Coalition Suppers held weekly on Wednesdays, a free Tuesday lunch, the Junior Choir, and other periodic children's activities.

Your presence and suggestions are welcome.

Mission
