SMM Parish is a vibrant Roman Catholic community of faith in the Brandywine Hundred region of North Wilmington. We pride ourselves on a high level of parishioner involvement in all areas of parish life, ministry, worship, and community service. Of course the focus of our faith is our Sunday celebration of the Eucharist – what begins in the heart of our worship together at Mass we strive to carry out in our parish and community.

Saint Mary Magdalen Parish is home to a very successful Catholic Elementary School. It has been in operation since 1953 and continues to be an integral part of our parish. Through our school program as well as through our extensive Religious Education program we seek to develop in each of our students a deep sense of faith and an understanding of our personal responsibility to all members of God's family. In addition to our school and RE programs we strive through our comprehensive Youth Ministry program to teach and encourage our young people to live lives that are conformed to Christ in all aspects of their lives.

A warm welcome is extended to all who come to St. Mary Magdalen Parish. We are a diverse and vibrant community of people sharing faith and worship together.  The parish priest is here to help you come to a greater knowledge and practice of the faith, along with a group of religious and lay members of the parish and school community who have responded to the call to assist in various ministries.  We have many activities and encourage you to actively participate and serve in our parish life and become part of the parish community through ministry, volunteerism, education and social opportunities.
