WELCOME
We are the Episcopal branch of the Christian faith.
We believe that God’s love extends to all people.
As an open and inclusive community, our mission is to become the shape God’s love takes in the world by reaching out to the last, the least, the lost, and the left behind.
Worship With Us
At St. Mark’s we offer a variety of worship services, groups and classes for people of all ages, both on Sunday mornings and throughout the week. See below for a detailed schedule of offerings. All are welcome, come as you are!
Sunday
-
Our primary vehicle for Children’s formation is Godly Play—a gentle, contemplative, Montessori-based program that immerses children in the Bible and church liturgy through storytelling, wonder, and play.
Godly Play is open to all children ages 4–12. We meet together on Sundays from 9:15-10:15 a.m. in our basement classroom starting on September 15.
-
Formation is an opportunity for young people and adults to increase in the knowledge and love of God through discussion and learning. Teen and adult formation is held in the Bates Room upstairs starting at 9:15 a.m. every Sunday.
-
This is our principal weekly worship service, with beautiful music led by our organists and choir. Sometimes called ‘Holy Communion’ or ‘Mass,’ Sunday Eucharist is the centerpiece of our life as a church.
The service is livestreamed to YouTube for those unable to attend, and nursery care is available for children ages 1-5 during this service.
-
Every Sunday following 10:30 Mass, we gather in the parish hall for a time of food, fellowship, and copious amounts of coffee. Sometimes called the ‘eighth Sacrament,’ coffee hour is a great place to build community and foster joyful friendship.

The Point is a community of previously homeless seniors living together in a converted hotel near SLC international airport. Each Sunday evening, St. Mark’s parishioners join residents at The Point for a service of Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer and serve a free dinner open to all comers. Please join us! The Point is located at 2333 W. North Temple in Salt Lake City.

Join Fr. Tyler, Mtr. Holly, and Michelle Doherty LCSW, for a time of contemplative prayer. Newcomers & beginners are welcome, and instruction in silent prayer is given at each session. Contemplation is a receptive method of Christian silent prayer which deepens our relationship with God, the Indwelling Presence … a prayer in which we can experience God’s presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself.
-
Join Canon Judy Atherton and Father Tyler Doherty on Zoom for a fun hour of discussion and theological reflection using short fiction as our launching pad. We’ll discuss a piece of fiction each week and reflect theologically on how the story can illuminate aspects of our relationship with God, ourselves, each other, and creation.

The Cathedral Church of St. Mark generates its own clean, renewable power thanks to a funding award from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program participants and the estate of Meredith Simmons. This money supported the installation of a solar energy generation plant with three rooftop panel arrays at the Cathedral. The plant began generating power in early March of 2021.
