Daily Mass and Snow Policy

In these cold months, we reiterate our snow policy for daily Mass. If Baltimore County Schools are closed due to weather, then daily Masses are cancelled. If Baltimore County Schools open 1 or 2 hours late, then 7:00 a.m. Mass is cancelled, but the 9:00 a.m. Mass will go on as usual. This gives us time to clear the parking lots and sidewalks. Use your best judgment; God would rather you be safe than come to daily Mass in bad weather.

Christmas Wreath Sale

To help you prepare for the Christmas season, Boy Scout Troop 706 will hold their annual Christmas Wreath fundraiser after the Masses on November 24/25 and December 1/2. They offer decorated balsam, mixed evergreen and boxwood wreaths, evergreen door swags and charms, and white pine garland. Please consider supporting the Troop and spreading holiday cheer. For more info, contact Emily Rollins (410-599-8738) or Jackie Seal (443-985-6418).

Knights of Columbus Memorial Mass

The Knights of Columbus Immaculate Lady Council invites all to join us in honoring the memory of our departed brothers at our Memorial Mass on Wednesday, November 28 at 7:00 p.m. in the Little Church.

Our council members look forward to making the Memorial Mass truly worthy of the brothers who have gone before us. Please prayerfully consider attending this beautiful tribute.

The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic

What four things did Mother Teresa, Francis of Assisi, John Paul II, Therese of Lisieux, and Ignatius of Loyola have in common? They all practiced these four signs. Come and learn from Matthew Kelly's book, "The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic." Life in the Spirit Prayer Group will be studying these signs on the fourth Wednesday of most of the coming months. All are welcome to listen and learn with us on Wednesday, November 28 from 7:30 — 8:00 p.m. in Room 103. Feel free to leave or stay for the prayer meeting afterwards.

Our Daily Bread Casseroles

Volunteers will be at the rear of the school cafeteria on Tuesday evening, November 27 from 7:00 — 9:00 p.m. and again on Wednesday morning, November 28 from 7:30 — 9:00 a.m. to collect casseroles and/or dry goods donations for Our Daily Bread. Pans and recipes are located by the entrances of the church on the weekend before the collections. To prevent spillage, please double-bag and freeze or refrigerate your casserole before you drop it off. Can't make a casserole? Then please consider donating dry goods such as canned vegetables/fruit, coffee, tea, sugar, PB&J, powdered drink mixes, and non-food kitchen items such as paper cups and sandwich bags. Call Mark Grabenstein at 410-654-0414 for more info.
