About St Marks School - Buffalo Catholic School<

Message from the Pastor

Welcome to St. Mark School! We are thrilled you're considering St. Mark for your family. Our school's mission is to foster a love of learning and spiritual growth. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing a strong, well-rounded, Catholic education in a nurturing environment.

Pope Benedict XVI said, "A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints." At St. Mark, we pride ourselves on providing a robust curriculum, an excellent education, and a welcoming environment. Through daily prayer, weekly Mass, and school-wide service projects, children at St. Mark School develop the skills that help prepare them for high school and beyond.

Catholic education helps students understand Jesus and encourages them to help others, as he did. St. Teresa of Calcutta said, "Let no one ever come to you, without leaving better and happier." We strive to instill that mindset in our student body each day.

As we begin this Jubilee Year in 2025, on behalf of Fr. Joseph Tokasz, Administrator, and myself, School Priest Moderator, our prayer is that our faith is strengthened, helping us to recognize the Risen Christ in the midst of our lives, transforming us into pilgrims of Christian hope.

AMDG,

Fr. Dave Richards

Parochial Vicar, Catholic Community of Buffalo North
