Services of Holy Eucharist are at 10:30 am.  After 17 years as our rector, The Rev. Canon Colleen O'Connor is retiring and will officiate at her last service at St. Mark's on Christmas Eve at 7:00 pm.  While she will still be active in church life, it will be part-time in different capacities in our Diocese--we wish her the best!  Please join us on Christmas Eve!

Our services are led by Diocesan priests and Deacons. It's a blessing to have them celebrate the Eucharist with us and to hear a variety of preaching styles!  In addition, one service each month is the service on Morning Prayer, led by lay leaders.

Music is by organist Dennis Mellander with other special guest musicians participating

SUMMER LUNCH for children & teens 2022  - A Thank You!            

St. Mark's just completed its 13th summer feeding program for children and teens.  We served 2,053 lunches from our side door!  We were able to do this because we had 25 volunteer workers--from St. Mark's and from the community.  We were fortunate to receive a Blood Foundation grant that allowed us to make improvements in the kitchen and to purchase our food and supplies.  Additional funding came from St. Mark's members, anonymous donors, and memorials for the late Joy Cooney.  A special thanks goes to our menu and kitchen coordinator Jessica Shelby.  She does an awesome job setting up the menus, overseeing the preparation and packaging, and seeing that everyone is doing the right thing.  We are also fortunate to have assistance from the LeRoy Central School cafeteria in allowing us to make bulk food purchases and to store food in their refrigerators/freezers until needed.  A shout out to Woodward Memorial Library for Miss Angelina's visits with book give-aways and program infomation this summer.

We are so appreciative of all of this support, and we enjoyed serving our friends and neighbors!

 

The Carillon

...is fixed!  Thanks so much to everyone for their interest in this part of LeRoy!  Hymns play at 11:00 am, 3:00 pm, and 7:00 pm.  Notice song changes when the Advent season arrives.

 

Protecting God's creation

Keep ink cartridges out of landfills!  About 350 million used cartridges end up in landfills each year. Instead, bring them to St. Mark's!  There's a collection box outside the door on Church St. as well as a larger bin inside the side door (office hours are M-Th 7:00 am to noon; Sundays 9:00-11:45).  Sorry--we can't take toner cartridges.  The cartridges are sent in each month for recycling and re-use.
