Forgiveness Sunday
Sunday, February 22, 2026
Welcome Parishioners, Guests, and Seekers! We welcome you to our parish home and hope that you will be comfortable and experience the love of Christ! This Sunday marks a bittersweet milestone in the life of our parish as we celebrate Fr. Alexander's last Sunday with us at St. Mark. We are deeply grateful for his ministry, his love for our community, and his faithful service. Please join us as we honor him. As we prepare to enter Great Lent, we gather for the beautiful Vespers of Forgiveness, asking forgiveness of God and one another before beginning our Lenten journey.
