Mission Statement of St. Mark Catholic Church
Within the beauty of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, we, the Catholic Christians of St. Mark

a believing community. In communion with the Pope, Bishop of Rome, we form a vital
portion of the Universal Church. We declare our mission to be:
Journeying together, a community that is Christ-centered,

Our Vision
Through our journey, the Light of Christ will be reflected in the life of St. Mark
Catholic Church transforming lives, families, community, and the world God has entrusted
to us. We, the community of St. Mark, seek to breathe life, love, and faith into God's
story by providing a living example of Christ's teaching. We give this meaning as
we work to become a community:
- that invites and welcomes neighbors and strangers into our faith family.
- of faith, learning and teaching Roman Catholic beliefs, tradition,
sacraments, and values.
- where faith formation is a journey centered in Christ and the scriptures,
with a special emphasis on the Gospel values of St. Mark, our patron saint.
- where stewardship, which is central to our faith, we serve as stewards
through the contribution of our time, talent, and treasures.
- that believes in and commits to prayers of praise, petition, forgiveness,
and thanksgiving in the traditions of the Church.
We live this by recognizing Christ in our midst. We touch one another and our world
with the light and hope that only Christ can provide through each one of us. Inspired
by the Holy Spirit we strive to gift our world with the breath of life, love and faith.
