I believe the article was created in error:


 * There is no "Stuyvesant Avenue" in Manhattan
 * However, there is a "Stuyvesant Street", and at the intersection of Stuyvesant Street and Second Avenue is the Episcopal St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery
 * The article has no sources (and, technically, makes no claim of notability)
 * A fairly extensive Google search brought up nothing on a Catholic St. Mark's Church in Manhattan
 * The search included sources on Google Books often used by the editor who created the article

My conclusion is that this article was created in error. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:15, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete With regret, I must agree in seeing this as an error. It occurred to me that Stuyvesant Avenue is in Brooklyn, but I can find neither a numbered street or avenue intersecting with it nor traces of a St. Mark's church having been there. The St. Mark's Catholic church in Manhattan is of course St. Mark the Evangelist in Harlem, and on the West Side, too. However, we don't seem to have an article on St. Mark Roman Catholic Church, Brooklyn, which is in Sheepshead Bay: NYCAGO, The Catholic Church in the United States of America. Delete this and create that. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I checked for "Stuyvesant Avenue" in Brooklyn and the Bronx before I filed, and checked out the other Catholic St. Mark's Churches but none seemed to line up with this article's information. Unfortunately, the editor's creator doesn't seem to be editing anymore, but it occurs to me to send him an e-mail in case he has some more information which may help clear up the confusion.
