Catechists are persons who pass on their faith in and love of Jesus Christ through example prayer and teaching. This requires a personal commitment to Jesus and is expressed through active participation in the Liturgy, personal prayer, and continued formation. Catechists receive training, resources, and support from our parish catechetical leaders and clergy. Contact Deacon Hermon Wilkins.

Ministry of Consolation

This ministry provides spiritual and moral support for those who have suffered a loss. The group reaches out to the family members through cards and calls following the funeral services. They also plan the annual All Souls Mass and a reception afterward.

Funeral Liturgy Planning

Priests and deacons meet with families to complete the Introductory Rites, Liturgy of the Word to include selected readings and hymns, Liturgy of the Eucharist and individuals who will be involved. This preparation assures families that all aspects of the service will be handled with honor, dignity and meets the wishes of the deceased and their family. This will be offered at Church or the funeral home. Contact the parish office 410-838-6969.

Widow and Widower

This group meets on the second Tuesday of each month for lunch and activities.

During the Rite of Infant Baptism, a white garment is placed on the baby to symbolize they are clothed in a new life – the life of Christ. It is a tradition in our parish that these garments be made by parishioners. There are two ways you can help. We need individuals who are willing to cut them out from a pattern, and individuals who are willing to do the sewing OR you can join our sewing team that meets quarterly for fellowship, lunch and of course, sewing.
