Welcome to St. Mary's!
St. Mary's is a diverse and vibrant faith community that believes and professes the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the living tradition of the Catholic Church. Our mission is to form loving disciples who will transform the world. All are welcome!
Whether you are new to our parish or have been a long-time member, you are welcome. In December 2017, we celebrated our 200th Anniversary of Our Lady's Chapel. St. Mary's has strong roots in the Rockville area and serves as a spiritual oasis for the more than 7000 parishioners.
For the past several months, we have been fortunate as a parish to receive Pro-Life messages as it related to our State and Federal governments. On October 1, 2017, our parishioners received the latest newletter and a request for State of Maryland registered voters to send a letter of concern to your representative. Attached you will find the suggested letter to send and the contact information for our area representatives. Please let your voice be heard!

Confession heals,
confession justifies,
confession grants pardon of sin.
All hope consists in confession.
In confession there is a chance for mercy.
Believe it firmly, do not doubt,
do not hesitate,
never despair of the mercy of God."
— St. Isidore of Seville
