At 120 years old, St Mark's Church plans growth

From Central Florida-

St. Mark's Episcopal Church is planning a week-long celebration of its 120th anniversary, ending Oct. 14 when Bishop Gregory O. Brewer will celebrate a 4 p.m. Mass in honor of the occasion.

Immediately following is a ground-breaking ceremony for "A Bigger That" -- a new sanctuary to be built on the property to accommodate the growing parish.

The "little white church on the hill," 102 N. Ninth St., was founded in 1892 as a monument to peace, a published church history said.

It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, which means the original church cannot be modified.
