Stained-glass windows are a unique art form, admired for centuries. St. Mark’s is honored to house windows commissioned from 1899 to the 1950s, many of which were imported from England. Come engage with these storied art pieces so that you can learn the stories behind these windows that add so much beauty to our community. 

This is a 45-minute guided tour with a light reception and informal Q & A following the tour.  The church and tour are ADA accessible.  Parking is available in the church’s circular drive off of Ridge Ave., as well as on Grove St. and on Oak Ave.
