Welcome

On behalf of Father Paul O'Donnell, Father Adrian Leszko, our deacons, and parish staff, we welcome you to St. Mark’s and invite you to engage in the life of this vibrant Catholic Community. 

It was just 40 years ago that a couple of hundred parishioners founded St. Mark’s School and parish at the corner of Cole and Northview in Boise, Idaho.  Today it is home to over 1,500 families and 70+ ministries and groups. Our campus today includes a beautiful church that seats 1,700 for Mass, a perpetual Eucharistic adoration chapel, an esteemed Catholic school for Pre-K through Grade 8, The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a sought-after early childhood faith formation program, and a food bank that feeds over 26,000 hungry people each year. There is something for everyone here- meaningful ways to serve, to pray, to worship, to learn and to grow in fellowship and friendship.

As we look back with gratitude, let us look forward to a growing, welcoming parish family that continuously encounters the love of God which we joyfully share.
