Faith * Hope * Community

St. Marcus Mission Statement

St. Marcus Church was established in 1888 as a part of the St. Cloud Diocese, by a rural group of people willing to sacrifice in order to provide for the spiritual needs of their community and future generations.

We are diverse people in search of a sense of community. We are families having a strong commitment to our history, and families looking to set our own traditions.

As a community, we will be a focal point, teach and share our faith and values with each other, and provide the opportunity for each individual to share his/her gifts.

We strive to create a warm, welcoming, supportive, and loving atmosphere united by our Eucharistic and Sacramental life in Jesus Christ. We wish to build stronger relationships with members of our Christian community.
