Each year friends and neighbors from both far and wide as well as right next door flock to our “famous dinners” to enjoy great food and fellowship. The entire parish family not only makes these dinners possible with their donations of time and talent and treasure they also provide the warmth that brings our visitor back year after year.
On the last Saturday in July for over 100 years we continue to hold our Annual Chicken Dinner and Fair, sometimes known as the Barnesville Picnic. The focus is our famous grilled chicken dinner with delicious sides. To add to the taste buds we have an outdoor fair with games for kids of all ages, cake stand, raffles, and the Maryland state sport, Jousting, to watch. This annual event is held on the last Saturday in July.
OUR MISSION
St. Mary’s in Barnesville is a Roman Catholic parish family steeped in over 200 years of rich history and tradition with a strong volunteer spirit. We seek to draw from God’s Word, the sacraments, and the examples of Jesus’ mother, Mary, to be good stewards of all that God has blessed us with. We welcome all to join us in the path of stewardship.
