Join us for a celebration of Jimmy Fragosa’s long-term service to St. Mark’s. You can send cards for Jimmy to the church that will be given to him at the celebration, or contribute toward a gift here. Jimmy began his work at St. Mark’s in the 1970s as a member of the Preservation Youth Project whose workers were the foundation for the restoration of the church in the aftermath of the 1978 fire. He then stayed on as St. Mark’s full-time building and groundskeeper for more than 45 years.

Each year, representatives from nations around the world gather for a major conference on climate change and their national responses (COP). This year, international leadership encourages local communities to gather to share their thoughts on climate ethics and explore deeper engagement. On the eve of COP30, join us for a conversation about climate change and the ethics of how our nations are addressing this crisis. We'll explore current dynamics in climate policy, what climate justice advocates are asking for, and how a Christian lens can inform our engagement. Led by Allegra Lovejoy and hosted by St Marks Church in the Bowery, the Church of the Ascension, and the Creation Care Committee. All are welcome. You can RSVP here.

St. Marks is offering food, cell phone charging, rest/respite, and other resources to welcome local migrants and asylum seekers who are without work or shelter in New York.

Please consider donating food, new socks, men’s shoes and clothing. There is an urgent need at the moment for winter coats and blankets. You can bring donations to church during the week or during the program on Wednesday afternoons. If you don’t have coats, you can donate here and we will purchase them. You can make a financial donation here or sign up to volunteer here.

• Donate to Metrocards for Asylum Seekers here.

Support for Our Diocese has launched an effort to collect donations for World Central Kitchen and to begin to advocate for the safe passage of aid through Gaza. We’ve watched in the news in recent weeks how dire an already brutal situation has become. The diocese is calling for each of us to donate what we spend on one day of food back to relief efforts in Gaza and to sign a call for access to aid. You can donate here, or sign the petition here.

Mondays at 5:30 | Columbus Circle

On Sundays, St. Marks in the Bowery hosts “Ecclesia,” an outdoor church ministry committed to serving unhoused and under-resourced New Yorkers. The ministry offers a 2pm Eucharist service every Sunday, fellowship, and a bagged lunch to everyone who joins. As the host parish, St. Mark’s will offer storage space and participate in making sandwiches and celebrating the Eucharist about once a month.
