Welcome to St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church.

St. Mark Parish lives, teaches, proclaims and celebrates the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I hope you will find this website contains useful information about our parish, sacramental life, ministries, and various forms.  There are many opportunities to get involved in our parish life and grow in your faith. 

If you need any assistance please feel free to contact the Parish Center at 317-787-8246.

This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15, 2019. The 2019 theme will be "Stay With Us." Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.

Please take a moment to visit http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/how-we-teach/catechesis/catechetical-sunday/index.cfm
and read Bishop Robert Barron's message to us all to remain missionary disciples.

Safe and Sacred is the child protection program for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The training program is completely conducted online and includes processing of a background check and Code of Conduct. The purpose of the “Safe and Sacred” program is to provide easier access to child protection training for clergy, employees, and volunteers. It allows us to broaden the focus of the training to increase awareness of all forms of child abuse. Safe and Sacred includes an assessment that must be taken and passed to ensure that training content is learned and can be applied. Who is Required to Sign Up for this Program? Safe and Sacred Training is a requirement for all volunteers regardless of their ministry area. If you are 18 years of age or older and you volunteer in any ministries here at St. Mark, you must comply with all the requirements prior to volunteering.
