Worship in the Episcopal Church is similar to that which you would find in other churches, both Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant. In fact, the Episcopal Church, an offspring of the Church of England, is known as the Via Media or Middle Way because it contains elements that are familiar to both Catholics and Protestants. Worship is ritualized but also somewhat relaxed. We are an open and affirming parish -- and all God's beloved are invited to partake and participate.

Those of all ages have roles in worship - our youth are involved in the service as acolytes (assisting the priest and deacon at the altar), torchbearers, crucifers (carrying the processional cross).  Our youth also sometimes bring to the altar special offerings of canned and dry goods that then go to the Foxboro Food Pantry.

Adults participate as lay eucharistic ministers, lectors, ushers, singers and musicians. Members of the Altar Guild prepare and decorate the sanctuary.  All parishioners gather to worship God.

We hope to see you!  Please let us know if you have any questions about life together at St. Mark's!
