Direct peers

• Our Lady of the Fields Parish: Parent Catholic parish in Millersville, MD that established Seton as a mission in 1975. Operates the same sacramental and community ministry model within the Archdiocese of Baltimore, serving the same Anne Arundel County region.
• Holy Family Catholic Church (Annapolis): Catholic parish in Annapolis, MD operating under the Archdiocese of Baltimore with similar sacramental, formation, and outreach programs. Geographically adjacent and demographically comparable.
• St. John Neumann Catholic Church (Annapolis): Catholic parish in Annapolis area under Archdiocese of Baltimore offering similar full sacramental and formation programming to families in the same regional market.

• St. Mary of the Annunciation (Annapolis): Catholic parish in Annapolis under Archdiocese of Baltimore serving similar Anne Arundel County families with comparable sacramental and formation programming.

Broad incumbents
