St. Mark is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, serving the Catholic community of Au Gres, Michigan, and surrounding areas of Arenac County. The parish is dedicated to Saint Mark, the Evangelist and author of the second Gospel, traditionally depicted with the symbol of a winged lion.

Located along the shore of Lake Huron in the Saginaw Bay region, St. Mark ministers to a small-town and rural population in northeastern Michigan. As a territorial parish, it serves all Catholics residing within its assigned geographic boundaries rather than a particular ethnic, linguistic, or special community.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though parishes in the Au Gres area trace Catholic presence in the region back many decades, reflecting the broader settlement and development of communities along the Lake Huron shoreline.

History

Specific historical records regarding the founding and early development of St. Mark in Au Gres are not widely documented in publicly available sources. According to the Diocese of Saginaw, the parish continues to serve as the Catholic worship community for Au Gres and the surrounding portion of Arenac County.[1] Limited sources suggest that, like many small-town Michigan parishes, St. Mark has served generations of local Catholic families engaged in the area's traditional fishing, farming, and lake-based economy.

The parish maintains an active presence in Au Gres today, with regular Mass schedules and sacramental life supported through its own parish website.[2]
