About Us

We are a forward looking and growing church in the Central Harlem Vicariate of the New York Archdiocese.

It is our goal to serve our lord Jesus Christ and His people, wherever and whoever they may be.

However, please be patient: God isn't finished with us yet.

St. Mark the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church was founded as an African-American faith community which welcomes all people ;who worship in the Catholic tradition.

We endeavor to sustain and encourage our growth through: Spiritual development, educational and adult leadership, evangelization of the churched and un-churched, ministry to families in the church and in the community, and share our African-American heritage and gifts with the wider Catholic church community.

"Catholic belief is succinctly expressed in the profession of faith or credo called the Nicene Creed: "

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
