Come and see where the Catholic Church in the United States began!
Thursday, June 12th
Fr. Matt will lead a one-day pilgrimage to Southern Maryland to visit the oldest churches in our archdiocese. Our pilgrims will start with the 6:30 am Mass at our parish. We will travel together by bus, leaving Mother Seton at 7:00 am, and return around 9:00 pm.
The tour will begin in rural Charles County, where we will visit the oldest convent in the country, the Carmel of Port Tobacco, and then the oldest parish in the United States, St. Ignatius at Chapel Point, founded in 1663. We will then travel across Charles and St. Mary’s Counties through the beautiful countryside and along the Potomac River, visiting several more of our oldest churches and enjoying some great local food together.
Along the way, Fr. Matt will tell the inspiring story of the founding of the Church in Maryland and its growth, despite much persecution.
