About the Pastor
Ordained on June 24, 2000 by The Most Rev. John F. Swantek, Rev. Fr. Mark J. Niznik delivers the Word of God at St. Paul Parish in Belleview, FL with a unique perspective, deep insight, and dynamic sense of humor and passion.
Father Mark earned his Bachelor's degree in Quantitative Methods from Western New England College in 1984. He spent five years in business, and eight years in stand-up comedy. After walking 1,000 miles for Hospice in memory of his father, he could no longer ignore the call of God and entered the seminary of the PNCC in September 1997.
In 2023, Father Mark wrote “27 Messiah”, a timeless, in-depth, soul searching guide to life. He is also a sought after keynote speaker at many events, further exuding his wonderful personality in the love of Jesus.
