From the Pastor
Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Church! Our parish enjoys a rich history as the oldest Catholic church in the original 13 colonies. We were established by the Jesuits in 1661 and today we have about 300 families registered as parishioners. Our current church dates back to 1731.
I invite you to explore our website and if you have any questions or pastoral needs, please feel free to contact us.
If you are in Leonardtown or when you come to visit, I hope that you will be able to pray in our beautiful church and join us for Holy Mass and other parish events throughout the year.
In Christ and St. Francis Xavier,
Fr. Rob Maro

Faithfully in Christ,
Fr. Rob
