What are the hours for the Parish Office?  The Parish Office is open from 8:00 am till 3:00 pm Monday
through Friday.  The office closes for lunch from 12:00 till 1:00 pm.  While we do try and always have
someone in the office during the times posted, from time to time we may have to step out, so if you are
planning on stopping in you may want to call ahead to make sure someone will be in, 227-6824.

How do I get a Mass Card?  When a loved one has passed or is ill many parishioners at St. Mark's give the
very special gift of a Mass Intention.  It is also a beautiful way to remember a loved ones birthday, anniversary
or date of death.  Mass Cards are available in the Parish Office during regular business hours.  The stipend
is $10 per mass, and masses can be scheduled up to a year in advance.  Available dates do go quickly, so
we encourage you to schedule your intention several months in advance if possible.  Another option is to
have a sanctuary candle lit in a loved ones memory.  Sanctuary Lamps are a $10 stipend and cover a week at
a time.  Both the Mass Intentions and Sanctuary Lamps are listed in the bulletin every week.  For those who
can not make it into the Parish Office during regular hours we are more than happy to take requests by phone
or by
email.

How do I get my baby Baptized?  Baptisms are the 2nd Sunday of every month at the 10:00 am Mass and
the 4th Sunday of every month at 1:30 pm.  Arrangements for Baptisms must be made several weeks in
advance so that a Parental Conference and Baptismal Preparation Classes can take place.  For further
information please see Deacon Frank after Mass, or call the office for more information.

How do I plan a Wedding at St. Mark's?  Arrangement for Marriage should be made at the Rectory at least
nine months in advance.  The fee for a Wedding is $165.00.  We do have an organist who is available for
weddings, Don Meminger.  His fee is $140.00 for a wedding with no soloist and $165.00 with one soloist.  
Wedding rehearsals usually take place 1 to 2 days prior to the ceremony.  For further information please
contact Fr. Lou at 225-3710.

Does St. Mark's rent the Parish Hall?  As you have probably seen from the Current Events and Calendars
that map out the current activities at St. Mark's- there is a lot going on here!  Because we have so many
activities requests for use of the Parish Hall are answered on a case by case basis.  If you are a Registered
member of St. Mark's and would like use of the facility, please contact the office, or Fr. Lou at 227-6824.  
Please make note that we do not charge "rent" but a donation to the church will be accepted, although it is not
required.

Where is Kuhn Road?  This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions we get.  Kuhn Road is
located in North Greece.  We are the last road on the left hand side of Long Pond, before coming to the
Parkway, if you are traveling North on Long Pond.  From the East side of the city, the easiest way to get to St.
Mark's is to take 390 North, to the Parkway West, get off on Long Pond, make a left onto Long Pond and Kuhn
Road is the first road on the Right.  The church sits several hundred feet down Kuhn Road and is on the
Right hand side of the road if turning onto it from Long Pond.  For a more detailed map of the church see the
