High Mass

11:00 am High Mass
The Sunday 11:00 am High Mass is the highlight of the week at St. Mark's. Drawing inspiration from the English and Roman Missals, the minor propers are sung, and often the Eucharistic Prayer is the ancient Roman Canon. Incense is used, and the mass includes a Rite of Sprinkling, the Last Gospel, and Marian devotions. The music is led by choir, cantors, and organist. Prior to High Mass, all are welcome to join the parish Marian Society, the Guild of the Annunciation, as they pray the Holy Rosary at 10:30 am in the St. Mary Chapel. After the High Mass, refreshments are served in the Parish Hall.
