Historical Society
Recently formed, the purpose of the St Mark’s Historical Society (SMHS) is to preserve and celebrate the achievements of our church as a source of inspiration and encouragement to the development of modern Australian society. Since its foundation as a Chapel of Ease in October 1847, St Mark’s has always held a key role as a sacred place of worship and a source of philanthropy and benevolence as Sydney and the nation have developed. People of noble intent and their families have humbly gathered here to give thanks to God and to provide leadership to the community, serving through the grace of Jesus Christ and seeking to show God’s love in action.
