About St. Mary's Catholic Church

The congregation of St. Mary's Assumption Eastern Rite Catholic Church has been led by Fr. Ivan Dornic since its rebuilding on its current location in Joppa, MD in 1991. For over Twenty-five years Father Dornic has fostered a community of faith and heritage in the area which he has begun expanding into a series of events celebrating the culture and history of Eastern Europe.

​

After hosting the Baltimore Slavic Heritage Festival in October, the huge success of the event made it obvious that we should keep going. And so now, we are holding our annual Christmas bazaar to expand this community even further!
