Rev. Carlos Florez Biography

Get to know me

I enjoy serving my community
everyday

I was born in Colombia. I was ordained as a priest in Milwaukee by Archbishop Timothy Dolan.
I am very happy serving the Community of Saint Mark. I like to bike, walk, and read all kinds of books. I love liturgy, social justice, and work with other religions.
I enjoy music; however, I am not a good singer. I love to travel and respect other cultures.
I love God with all my heart. I believe that God is with us helping us become better people.

My responsibilities

I am responsible for Saint Mark Community to Archbishop Listecki. I work together with the Archdiocese and the priests in my district to celebrate our faith in Jesus Christ.
I find, form, and empower lay leaders to serve the community of Saint Mark in different ministries. I lead the celebration of the sacraments: Baptism, First Communion-Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Orders, Anointing of the Sick. I find ways to connect Saint Mark’s community with other institutions, churches, and religions.
I make sure Saint Mark welcomes everyone. All of these with the help of a great team that helps  support me and challenges me all the time to become a better leader, priest, and human being to all.

Thank you for your prayers and support. Come to Saint Mark and join us!
