Thank you for believing in the future of Catholic education. 🙏
Because of your generosity to Faith in the Future, classrooms across the Archdiocese are thriving — with strong teachers, innovative programs, and vibrant learning environments where every child can grow in faith, knowledge, and service.
You're not just supporting a school. You're forming saints, scholars, and servant leaders for generations to come. Thank you for investing in what matters most. ✨

Please join us in prayer for the eternal repose of the soul of Ann Teresa O’Neill, whose miraculous healing from acute lymphatic leukemia in 1952 was instrumental in the canonization of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first native-born American saint. For generations of the faithful, her story has stood as a powerful witness to the intercessory power of prayer.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop William E. Lori on Saturday, July 25, at 11 a.m. at the Basilica of the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (339 S. Seton Ave., Emmitsburg). Interment will follow on the shrine grounds.

May she rest in the peace of Christ.

A Quiet Vigil with Jesus 🕯️
Picture this: it's just past midnight. Most of Maryland is asleep. But inside the adoration chapel at Immaculate Conception in Towson, Janine Sterner kneels before the Blessed Sacrament — alone with Jesus.
"I feel like you're surrounded by the angels," she says. "I just feel heaven is there."
Across the Archdiocese, faithful adorers keep watch around the clock — some singing hymns silently in their hearts, some praying the Rosary, some simply sitting in the stillness. Judy Kline calls it "a breath of fresh air." Beth Van Natta says she loves the quiet moments when it's "just me and Jesus."
We want to know: What do you do during your Holy Hour? 💬
Do you bring your prayer book? Sit in silence? Pray for people by name? Tell us in the comments — your answer might just inspire someone to sign up for their own hour of adoration.

Catherine "Kate" Gietka, a woman of deep faith who helped turn a lottery jackpot into a legacy of giving, has died at 98.

After her daughter Bernadette won a $183 million Mega Millions jackpot in 2003 — a prize she'd prayed for at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen — Catherine partnered with her to direct nearly $2 million in grants to local parishes and pro-life causes.

A longtime Holy Rosary parishioner, she's remembered for a lifetime of quiet, faithful prayer.
