Ubi caritas et amor, deus ibi est
Where charity and true love are found, God himself is there.
 
We, the Roman Catholic community of South Washington County Maryland, as members of the Body of Christ, are called to witness our faith by setting the standard¹ of love and goodwill in our community².  We pledge our lives to Christ and profess a unified commitment to spreading His gospel³ through our worship and ministry⁴.  As servants to the Lord and our neighbors, we will remain always mindful of the needs of this Pastorate and all of God’s people. <sup>5
