In June 2022, St. Francis of Assisi Parish celebrated its 50th anniversary as a faith community in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. We kicked off our festivities on October 3, 2021, at our Feast Day Picnic. Join the Planning Committee organizing our parish’s 50th anniversary celebration and visit this page for updates on what is happening.
 

• Our anniversary theme is "Made in God's Image -- All Are Welcome!" Buy merchandise -- including T-shirts, beanie caps, and face masks -- branded with our 50th anniversary logo.

 

• Read our 50th Anniversary commemorative newletter, "Fifty Years of Sharing God's Love at St. Francis", compiled by the Communications Ministry.

 

• Remember your loved one by contributing to our Memorial Tree Planting and Beautification Project.

   

• Our Anniversary Masses and Parish Festival were wonderful celebrations. We will mark the end of our Golden Anniversary commeoration with our Feast Day and Parish Picnic on October 2, 2022. If you are interested in joining the 50th Anniversary Planning Committee, please contact Linda and Sylvia.

As we commemorate our 50th anniversary as a Catholic community in Derwood, MD, St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!
