 Since 1922

The founding of St. Mark's began in 1914, when a small group of worshipers in a private home on Ortega Point established St. Columba’s Mission as an outgrowth of St. John’s Parish in downtown Jacksonville. In 1919, the first services were held near the present site of St. Mark's in a former Army building, with the Reverend Douglas B. Leatherbury as priest-in-charge. In 1922, the mission was organized as a parish and named St. Mark’s. The Reverend Dr. Leatherbury was its first rector.
