St. Mark

The Catholic community is welcoming, full of love, and has a great sense of community, often gathering for coffee and donuts after Mass.

Father Albert is described as a remarkable leader, teacher, and a wonderful, compassionate priest.

Homilies are thought-provoking, with one leaving a deep image through an analogy about preparing for an ultimate destination.

The church offers a great traditional Mass, and daily Mass at 8:30 AM is particularly popular, often feeling as full as a Sunday Mass.

The atmosphere is generally pleasant, and the church is considered the best Catholic church in Venice by some.

The church hosts Nourish LA food giveaways on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at St. Marks Church (940 Coeur D Alene Ave, Venice, CA 90291) and on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at UCLA University Village (3200 Sawtelle Biva, Los Angeles, CA 90066).
