Mission Statement
We the faithful of the Roman Catholic Parish of St. Aloysius, in communion with the Holy Father, commit ourselves to know, love and serve God and worship Him devoutly together.
This challenges us to know God through His Holy Scripture and personal prayer; to love God in His Eucharistic Presence and to love one another; to serve Him by educating our children, by ministering to the sick and the elderly, by proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and by hospitably reaching out to others.
We commit to this with the grace of God and through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of God and Patroness of St. Mary's County.
Newcomers
We at St. Aloysius warmly welcome all who seek to make our parish their parish. It is our hope and desire that every individual and/or every family who register take an active role in the life of the parish. Therefore we ask those who wish to register to not only complete a parish registration form (which can be downloaded from this site or found in the vestibule of the church), but also to prayerfully consider the following as they become a part of St. Aloysius:
1. to regularly worship with us every Sunday
2. to accept the 3 tenets of stewardship as a way of life:
- time (growing spiritually through prayer and scripture)
- talent (discerning my God-given abilities and using them for the good of the parish and community as a whole)
- treasure (contributing a sacrificial portion of my income to support St. Aloysius and other charitable causes)
3. to witness to the Gospel by the example of their daily life and to invite others to share in the Good News that you have come to know as a disciple of Jesus Christ
4. to participate fully and actively in the life of St. Aloysius Church
