It is hard to miss this brilliant white church, located north of US-17 on the Palatka side of the St Johns River. Closed on Monday but the historical marker in front gives history and the grounds are open for walking. It reads, "Episcopal services in Palatka were first conducted in 1846 by the Rev. John F. Young, later Bishop of Florida (18767-1885). The parish was organized in 1853, and the church completed in 1854. During the Civil War, St. Mark's was used as a barracks by Federal troops and suffered considerable damage. After the War, the church served as the missionary center of the Episcopal Church in the St. Johns Valley. The original building, though altered, is still in use today." It is marker number F-84 and was erected in 1962 by the Florida Board of Parks and Historical Memorials in cooperation with Putnam County Historical Society. There is street parking.

Friendly, neighborly & oldest church in the City of Palatka. Formerly organized in 1853, but the Parish wasnt formerly recognized until 1873, due to the Civil War, 1861-1865. According to one of the tour guides, the church & city were saved by the efforts of one Mary Easely & her neighbor, who boldly went to the wharf & requested a meeting with the Union' ship Captain firing canons, who listened & stopped the barrage. The church sanctuary just finished a year long, 'labor of love' renovation by parishoners, post-Hurricane Irma, the rains of which seeped into the walls & caused extensive Black Mold damage. New steps in the entry, painted & stained glass panels greet the visitor, as does the architecture. A small 'Memorial Garden' exists behind the sanctuary for any parishioner wishing to be interred on church property. The Parish Hall serves as a meeting place, and the Old Rectory houses the priests of St. Mark's. read more

Large congregation of Believers... Jesus spoken here…read more Lots of parking spaces and do they need it! The parking lot is full to over-flowing on Sundays! Early Worship is @ 745a on Sundays with Bible Study at 9a. Church service is at 1030a and mid-week Bible Study at 12p for the lunch crowd or 6p, if you can't make it for the noon hour. Definitely worth stopping in for worship, if you are looking for a neighborly community of Believers!
