50th Anniversary Celebration

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

• Come up with our anniversary theme! If you have any ideas for a 50th anniversary theme, then the Planning Committee would like to hear them. Good themes would be less than 10 words and reflective of our diverse and friendly St. Francis of Assisi parish community. A $100 Amazon gift card will be awarded to the person/persons submitting the winning entry. Please e-mail your entry to Planning Committee Co-Chairs Linda Foster and Sylvia Jones by May 21, 2021.

 

• Our anniversary festivities will culminate with an Anniversary Mass at our church on June 5, 2022. But there are lots of smaller events, including fundraisers, that we need people to coordinate and run. If you are interested in joining the 50th Anniversary Planning Committee, please contact Linda and Sylvia.

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