St. Mark's Episcopal Bookstore

It's a beautiful church, and the lady working in the office was very helpful. We just wanted to come appreciate the architecture and some of the history. This church used to sit on the grounds of the Alamo, and began construction under Robert E. Lee. Being a history buff, I was astonished that the bell was actually constructed from a 6 pound bronze cannon from the Battle of Gonzales. Potentially THE "Come and Take it" cannon, as the other was said to be a one pounder.

St.Mark's is a wonderful church located in the heart of San Antonio. The architecture by itself would be enough of a reason just to visit, but as most churches it's the people who make this place truly special, they are warm and inviting, and consist from all walks of life. The sermons are thought provoking and inspiring, and the choir, well, heavenly. I attend this church, and I am a better person for it.

I was raised Catholic and would consider myself to be religious. St. Mark’s Episcopal follows the doctrine of the church, but is progressive with its teachings and truly exemplifies what it means to be a Christian. The music is beautiful, and comparable to what one would find at a cathedral in England! If you’re wanting a traditional service with a forward emphasis, along with gorgeous music, I would strongly recommend coming to this church!

Both parents entombed there in the wall. Gorgeous as they look out on Travis park.. st. Marks did a wonderful job on the service for my parents. Very professional and kind.
