Latin Nights was an initiative created by a group of Latino parishioners of Saint Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church.  There were two main purposes for creating Latin Nights.   One was to create a strong, faithful Latino community within St. Marks and to raise funds on behalf of the Latino community for the construction and mortgage of our new church. 

Latin Nights hosts a dinner/entertainment event in which we showcase a Latin American country.  During these events the St Marks community gets together and celebrates that country’s customs, music, typical food and religious customs and patrons.  The countries that have been previously showcased have been: Mexico, Perú, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Colombia.
 
Thru the organization of our main event, we have created leadership, sense of ownership and pride toward our catholic church.  We provide our talents, time and treasures to the growth of our Latino community in St. Marks.
 

Mission

 Our Mission as Latin Nights is to provide our parish community of St. Marks our talents, time and service to the growth of our church and to celebrate our cultural diversity in ways that promote engagement of all the many parishioners of our church family. 

Vision

 Latin Night’s vision is to continue growing and providing leadership and commitment of our Latino community within St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church.
