Baptisms are held on Sundays at 2:00 pm.
You must be registered and actively participating in the parish for 4 months before a Baptism request can be made. If you are not registered, please go here, fill out and return the form to us, and we will schedule an appointment for you with the pastor who meets with everyone who wishes to register.
Please call the Parish Office to request the necessary forms, and to schedule an appointment with the pastor.
For those having a child baptized at St. Patrick for the first time, there is a mandatory Baptism class that parents are required to attend. Baptism classes are held every 2nd Monday of the month, and you will only need to attend one of the classes. To reserve a space at the class, please complete this form.
If the child to be baptized is 7 years of age or older, please contact the Religious Education Office at 301-929-9314.
Please call the office to speak with a priest or deacon about your marriage before setting a date for the reception. Archdiocesan Regulations require that arrangements be made with a priest at least six months in advance of the desired wedding date. Pre-Cana preparation and instruction are required for all couples preparing for marriage.
At least one member of the couple must be registered and actively participating in the parish for at least one year.
In case of serious illness or immanent/sudden death, notify the Rectory immediately.
Please notify the Parish Office of any sick, homebound, or hospitalized parishioners so that we may arrange to bring them the Eucharist or the Sacrament of the Sick.
