The Memorial Day Mass at the St. Mary’s Queen of Peace Cemetery will be held on Monday, May 30th at 10:00 a.m. We are pleased to announce that Rev. David W. Beaubien, pastor at St. Aloysius Church in Leonardtown, will be our main celebrant.
     This special field Mass is offered at this time of year for the deceased members of the parishes of St. Mary’s, Charles, Calvert and Prince George’s Counties, and especially for those who have passed away during the past year. The Catholic Cemeteries staff will respectfully include the names of the deceased from the Spring of 2019 to Spring of 2021 due to the pandemic precluding the hosting of this special Mass.
     A commemorative presentation of the faithful departed will begin at 9:15 a.m., then a time honored flag ceremony performed by the Knights of Columbus at 9:45 a.m., followed by the Mass starting at 10:00 a.m.
        The cemetery is located in Helen/Mechanicsville, MD at 38888 Doctor Johnson Road adjacent to the Mother Catherine Academy (Route 238).
       An enclosable tent will be erected for everyone’s comfort so the Mass will be held in the cemetery rain or shine.
     If you need additional information, you may contact our office at (301) 475-5005 or (301) 932-1766.
