It isn’t a secret that the student body at St. Mark School Catonsville is a family affair, with classrooms filled with siblings and cousins, as well as faculty members’ children, nieces and nephews.
Having four teams of mothers and daughters working at the school, however, is a bit unusual.

The retreat focused on several bullet points:

How is God calling you?
Each of us has gifts that God has given us. What are these gifts?
How is God asking us to use these gifts in service to Him and His Church?
The adventure of discernment is an adventure of inviting God into your personal decisions, especially discovering and pursuing your vocation.

Father Roth called the event the “biggest retreat yet.”

🙌 For our Deaf Catholic brothers and sisters, signed Masses in American Sign Language create not just access, but true participation — celebrating the sacred liturgy in a way that speaks directly to their hearts and culture. Seeing the joy, community, and deep faith flourishing in these liturgies fills us with gratitude and hope. May we continue to embrace and support ministries that welcome all members of Christ’s Body! ✨
