On Saturday, September 15, 2001, Brother Mark Brown, FSC, a teacher of social studies and religion at West Catholic HS in Philadelphia, celebrated his profession of perpetual commitment as a Brother of the Christian Schools. This very special event took place during a joyful Eucharistic Liturgy held at St. Louis Catholic Church in Yeadon, PA and was attended by many of Brother Mark’s family, friends, colleagues, and fellow Christian Brothers from the Baltimore District. Fr. Richard Hilgartner, a priest from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and a high school classmate of Brother Mark’s, presided at the Mass. Brother Robert Schieler, FSC, provincial of the Baltimore District, expressed gratitude and praise for Mark’s dedication, faith, and zeal.
Brother Mark graduated from Calvert Hall College in 1986 and from Towson State University in 1990. He received the Habit of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in the autumn of 1990 and began his teaching career in the Baltimore District at both La Salle College High School in Wyndmoor, PA and Archbishop Carroll HS in Radnor, PA. Following his year-long novitiate in Skaneateles, NY, Brother Mark served for three years at Central Catholic in Pittsburgh before moving to his current apostolate at West Catholic.
