Mark and his family moved from Denver, Colorado to Fort Wayne in December 2023, and love being part of the Catholic community here. Mark and his wife Katie have four young kids and plan to send them to the Chesterton Academy when they’re old enough. Mark is passionate about training a new generation of Catholic artists and believes we need to return to a focus in fine art that glorifies God.

He’s summited almost thirty 14ers (14,000 ft peaks), plays guitar, loves photography, has a YouTube channel, claims to be an espresso aficionado, and is an automotive enthusiast. Mr. Pape will be teaching Art History and Studio Art this year as adjunct faculty.
