Schoenstatt is an international movement of Christian Catholics striving for spiritual renewal of their faith in the contemporary world. We seek to grow as free dedicated 555 c and active witnesses of Christ in modern life by uniting our faith with our everyday lives.

At St. Mark, we currently have Marian Apostle groups for Girls ages 7-10 and 11-15 that each meets once a month. We also have a couples' group that meets on the third Saturday of each month.
