Dedication Mass

  • St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church 689 Ritchie Highway Severna Park, MD, 21146 United States (map)

The Mass of Dedication includes the Consecration of the Altar and other ancient rites that invoke the Lord’s blessings over the church and the sacred furnishings, setting them apart for the worship of God.

Very limited seating. Please carefully read below.

Please note the following important details: 

  • Doors open at 4p.m.

  • Approximately 1/3 of the pews will be reserved for various guests. All other pews will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. (Please be respectful of others and don't save pews for family members who have not arrived yet; it makes it much more difficult for ushers and parishioners to find available seats.)

  • The nature of the Dedication Mass does not allow for a “standing room only” crowd. Various incensings and anointings require all of the aisles to remain completely open and accessible throughout the Mass. Thank you for your understanding!

  • The Gathering Space will not have chairs in place due to the large procession of clergy, the honor guard provided by our Knights of Columbus, etc. 

  • The Mass will last approximately two hours.
