Faith
Faith
Every aspect of the curriculum at St. Mark Catholic School is infused with the teachings of our Catholic faith. St. Mark is a Catholic school in Catonsville, MD that places a high value on the spiritual development of each student. All students receive daily instruction in religion. Every day, at the start of the day and at the end of the day, the entire school gathers to pray as a community. Before and after lunch, students in each class offer a short prayer. Throughout the year, people pray the rosary. While the curriculum and community of St. Mark Catholic School are centered on Catholic values, we are happy to welcome families and students of all faiths and denominations to attend.
