Bangali-American Christian Association (at St. Camillus Parish)

Welcome to Bangali-American Christian Association (at St. Camillus Parish)!

Mission and History:

Formed in 2006 at St. Camillus Church in Silver Spring, MD, the Bangali-American Christian Association serves Bangali Catholics in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. It’s about promoting social, cultural, educational, religious, and welfare programs to build unity and friendship. Open to Christians from Bangladesh or India, Bangla speakers, and families—including non-Bangali spouses—it’s a hub for preserving faith and heritage.

Services and Programs:

They offer the SEARCH program for youth growth, scholarships for top SAT scorers, and relief for local families or Bangladesh disasters. Events include Bangla masses with visiting priests, talent shows for kids, Easter/Christmas parties, sports days, and summer picnics. Liturgical dances at vigils add cultural flair.

Community Impact:

By supporting education, relief, and events, it enriches D.C.’s multi-ethnic scene, helping diaspora members integrate while keeping traditions alive. It eases hardships and fosters bonds in a diverse area.

How to Get Involved:

Join activities like parties or talent shows—membership is open if you fit the criteria. Contact Cecilia for details or to volunteer in relief efforts. Great for families seeking spiritual and social support. Contact Cecilia Rozario by email: [email protected].
