Silent Angel Memorial @ Bay District VFD

In a commemoration of lives lost to homicide, community members are invited to the 23rd annual Silent Angel Memorial hosted by the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office at 6pm Sunday, December 1, 2024, at the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department.

The Silent Angel Memorial was founded in 2002 by Eileen Bildman after the tragic loss of her son. It is an annual tribute to honor victims of homicide who lived in St. Mary’s County, bringing families and friends together during the difficult holiday season.

During the annual ceremony, ornaments are placed on a Christmas tree and the names of

St. Mary’s County homicide victims are announced. Each ornament displays the name, date of birth, and the date each victim became a “silent angel.” Following the ceremony, the decorated tree will be placed in the lobby of the sheriff’s office until the first week of January.

Bay District VFD is at 46900 South Shangri La Drive in Lexington Park, MD.
