What does Our Faith in Action look like? It’s God’s love witnessed in every act of service. Every meal served. Every prayer in His name. Every shelter provided. Every child educated. Every comfort extended.

More than 500,000 faithful-strong, you are the Catholic Church – and because of your kindness, compassion, generosity and acts of service, the Church shows up every day for our neighbors throughout the Archdiocese of Baltimore and beyond.
