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 continue to study these signs on the fourth Wednesday of most of the coming months. All are welcome to listen and learn with us on Wednesday, February 27 from 7:30 — 8:00 p.m. in Room 103. Feel free to leave or stay for the prayer meeting afterwards.

Contemplative Prayer Session

Beginning March 11, join Fr. Canisius on most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Little Church for an hour of prayer, reflection, and adoration. Come experience hope that lifts, embraces and moves through the power of the Holy Spirit as Christ's loving presence encourages, directs, releases... our source of eternal hope. Give yourself some quiet time with God at least once a week.  May God fill you with all joy and peace... so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom 15:13)

Daily Mass and Snow Policy

In these winter months, here is a reminder of our snow policy for weekday Masses. 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 a weekday Mass in risky weather.
