Meet Mark Harrington
Mark is the Director of Advancement at the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Center. He grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico before attending the University of Kansas (Class of ‘21) where he studied finance and met his eventual wife (and coworker), Fallon, in the KU Running Club. After a backfired attempt to convert Fallon away from Catholicism, Mark encountered the fullness of faith in the Catholic Church and accepted an offer as a FOCUS missionary, on the condition that he get confirmed. He spent the next year working as an investment banking analyst in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and entering the Church before joining FOCUS and being sent to CU Boulder as a missionary. In his two years on the FOCUS team, Mark fell in love with the work that God is doing through this university ministry and decided to join the team. Mark is passionate about the transformation that is taking place in the lives of CU students and is most excited to keep our benefactors connected to this mission.
In his free time, Mark enjoys exploring trails with his growing family, collecting buffalo artwork, keeping his Microsoft Excel skills sharp, and cheering on the Jayhawks, Chiefs, and Royals… and Buffs.
