St. Mark's Episcopal Church

From Palo Alto Wiki

St. Mark's was begun in 1948 by twenty families in Palo Alto. Soon after, the rapidly growing parish built the chapel and in 1952, the Parish Hall. The traditional church building was completed in 1957 and soon was equipped with one of the most impressive organs on the West Coast. In the early 1990s, the church was remodeled to reflect a desire to be open and inclusive. St. Mark's strives to recognize the spiritual presence of Christ in life and to encourage living out beliefs through actions. St. Mark's mission and outreach is to the community surrounding Palo Alto, the poor near and abroad, and in cooperation with other nearby Episcopal parishes, the Canterbury ministry at Stanford University.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church is located at 600 Colorado Avenue (between Cowper and Middlefield).
