St Mark's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Palo Alto holds two Eucharist services each Sunday. The 8 a.m. service is a spoken Rite II liturgy in the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene, and the 10 a.m. service adds music and a choir, with worship offered in person and livestreamed on YouTube. The parish is part of the Diocese of California and the Episcopal Church. Daily prayer rounds out the week, with Morning Prayer in the chapel Monday through Thursday from 8 to 8:30 a.m., contemplative prayer on Friday mornings, and Compline on Zoom on several evenings.

Children are part of the main service, and clipboards with coloring sheets and thought questions are handed out each week. A children's program for ages 5 to 11 meets Sunday at 11:30 a.m., after the 10 a.m. service, and a youth group for ages 12 to 18 gathers for service projects, faith discussion, and social events. Adults can join a Scripture discussion group that meets every other Tuesday evening, a Good Reads book club on Zoom, or a general book club on the third Tuesday of the month. Outreach includes a food closet, jail ministry, a CROP Walk, and a Safe Pouch ministry. The church is at 600 Colorado Ave.; confirm current times on the website before visiting.
