Summary:
St. Mark's Episcopal Church on Pearl Street in Mystic, as of June 2007, celebrates its 140th anniversary. Its doors first opened on Christmas Day in 1867 and its members were happy to have a home of their own instead of rented quarters. The village's weekly newspaper, The Mystic Pioneer, noted in the June 4, 1859 issue that the Episcopalian Dioceses of Connecticut had established a mission in the village, renting Hoxie and Palmer's new hall. Asa Packer and St. John's Church in Stamford gave large gifts to the church. The church has published a booklet outlining its history based, in part, on two previous pamphlets by Virginia B. Anderson. The booklet concludes with an updating of church history by Tim Evers. A painting of the church by Gladys Flint is dated 1934. Mrs. Flint lived next door to the church, in the house which is now Dinoto's funeral home, where she ran a rooming house. Glayds also published a novel or two.
