“Building Our Parish Community” is the theme chosen for this year’s Appeal. Your donation to Project Advance will achieve two closely related aims.
First, it will help meet the target set for your parish’s contribution to the Archdiocese’s ministry and outreach initiatives.
Second, once your goal is achieved, all the additional funds raised are returned to your parish for its specific projects

Our warmest thanks to Dennis Garritty for the invaluable leadership he provided to St. Mark’s Project Advance endeavors all these years!
Welcome to our newly appointed Parish Project Advance Coordinators: Janet Jacy Wingson & Janille Durity Wingson

Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver, and Reverend Dr. Robert Allore, SJ, Chaplain of UBC and Pastor of St. Mark’s Parish, and Reverend Nick Meisl, faculty member of the Colleges.
