St. Mark's is very fortunate to have had the dynamic spiritual leadership of Canon Leroy A. Lyons for the past 36 years. During his tenure, St. Mark's has evolved from a marginal parish to one of the 20 largest parishes in the Diocese of New Jersey with a membership of over 500 communicants, a large Sunday School, and a vibrant Youth Program. 

A dynamic preacher and a published poet, Canon Lyons has a unique theological insight that enables him to preach the gospel with clarity and conviction.  Copies of his most recent publication, "From the Heart - An Anthology of Poems" are available for sale at the church.  It can also be purchased online at www.AuthorHouse.com.
