In 1634, a group of courageous voyagers
traveled from their homes in England in pursuit of a new land.
They landed on an island in the Potomac River with a prayer of
thanks for their safe journey. St. Clement's Island is a
landmark in the history of Maryland. It was here the adventurers
took possession of the colony and the first Roman Catholic Mass
in the English speaking colonies was offered |
Today, St.
Mary's County is

the Naval Air Systems Command Headquarters (NAVAIR), Naval Air
