Members and guests of the lower Bucks County parish gathered with their pastor, Father Dennis M. Mooney, for the Saturday evening vigil Mass for the Second Sunday of Easter, or Divine Mercy Sunday, on April 7. Founded in 1844, St. Mark’s is the second oldest parish in Bucks County, after St. John the Baptist in Ottsville. The church is located at 1025 Radcliffe Street in Bristol Borough.
