Welcome to St. Mark Catholic Church Community
Highlands Ranch, Colorado

Established as a parish of the Colorado Springs Diocese on Easter Sunday, April 23, 2000, we became St. Mark Catholic Church to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ as journeying people. We will model the gospel of Saint Mark and make sure those considered on the “outside” of society are truly on the “inside” of the Kingdom of God. "No one will be left in the dust." Our motto is "We can be kind and we can take care of each other." We would be honored to have you worship with us.

Epiphany of the Lord - January 6th
Read about who the Magi were and the time and circumstances of their visit. Listen as Fr John interviews the Magi during the homily at Sunday's Mass.

The Gift of Music
All are invited to hear the Music of Christmas on Thursday, January 8th at 7:00 pm. The evening will include the full choir and musicians sharing ALL the music from the Christmas liturgies. The admission fee is a canned food item per person to help area food banks.

Children's Liturgy of the Word - CLOW
Beginning with January 2009, parents are requested to bring their children (grades K-2) to the lower level for CLOW classes ten to fifteen minutes prior to the start of Mass. Sign your child in and make a name tag for him/her. You are invited to return to the worship space for some moments of quiet and reflection prior to our gathering rite.
