Archbishop Lori Homily: Homeschooling Mass
August 27, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Catholic homeschooling is not merely an alternative to other forms of education. It grows out a vision of the home as the first school of humanity. It grows out of the truth that the home is to be a domestic church: a place where the faith is transmitted and nurtured by prayer, where character is formed principally by good example, and where life’s most fundamental lessons are learned.

Archbishop Lori Homily: Feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa
August 26, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Coming through the doors of this retreat house, many pilgrims, we hope and pray, will experience the peace of Christ. May they find here a place of quiet, a place of refuge, a place of prayer, where they can grow in all knowledge and wisdom, truth and love, where they can allow Mary to lead them more deeply into the mystery of Christ.

As students across the Archdiocese of Baltimore return to the classroom, Archbishop William E. Lori offers a special prayer for our students, teachers, families, and school communities.

May God bless our students with wisdom, courage, and joy as they begin a new year of learning and growing. May He guide their teachers and staff, strengthen their families, and keep every member of our school communities in His loving care.

Please join Archbishop Lori in praying for all our students as they begin this new school year. ❤️

Lord, bless our students and all those who accompany them on their journey of faith and learning. Amen. 🙏📚
