I'm New to St. Mark Parish Catonsville, Catonsville. Where Do I Start?
Welcome to the parish community! We’re so glad you’ve decided to join us. If you haven’t already, say hi to our parish priest, Father Santhosh George. He would love to meet you!
Here at St Mark's we want to love God, to love one another, and to make the name of Jesus known.
You can find a number of different ways to get connected below!
We hope that the St. Mark website will serve as an important channel of communication for parish and archdiocesan programs. If what you seek is not obvious, please contact the parish office for assistance. Please pray for the success of our parish and for the future of God’s Church in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Mass: What to Expect
If you have never been to Mass before, or if you haven’t gone in a long time, we are excited to have you join us as we celebrate and worship together. We understand that it may feel foreign at first, and that some parts might seem confusing. The last thing we would want is for you to feel unwelcome during Mass, so we have created a little guide for you to help you understand the liturgy a little better.
