It was founded in 1956 by the Congregation of St. Basil and is next to Corpus Christi College. Together they form one community as the president of Corpus Christi is also the principal of St. Mark's. The college is situated on the University Endowment Lands on West Point Grey and within its grounds is the local parish church, St. Mark's Chapel.

History

In 1956, St Marks College was founded by the Congregation of St. Basil when it received its charter from the Parliament of British Columbia. The Basilian Fathers also founded the University of St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto and Assumption University in Windsor, Ontario. When St. Mark's was founded it was immediately affiliated with the University of British Columbia. The college, because it was next to Corpus Christi College and had St. Mark's Chapel within its grounds, became a centre for Catholics on the Vancouver campus of the university.[1]

While the Basilian Fathers supported college, Fr. Jim Hanrahan CSB (the longest serving principal of the college) taught in the university's Department of History. The south wing of St. Mark’s is named Hanrahan Hall after him.[1]

In 1998, construction of St. Mark’s College was completed and the local Catholic parish moved there. The registrar of the college, Fr. Klosterman CSB also served as parish priest of the area.[1]

In 2005, the Basilian fathers left the college and parish. The college appointed its first lay Principal, Dr. David Sylvester, that year.[1]

On 15 October 2013, the principal of St. Mark's College, Mark Hagemoen was appointed as the bishop of the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith.[2] On 16 June 2014, Dr Peter M. Meehan was appointed as the new principal of St. Mark's College and the President of Corpus Christi.[3]
