FROM THE ARCHBISHOP

Archbishop Lori Homily: Transitus of St. Francis of Assisi
October 3, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
The future of evangelization will depend less upon our ability to defend ourselves and more upon our willingness to be transparent, humble and faithful. Humility does not weaken the Church – humility purifies her witness.

Archbishop Lori Homily: World Day for Migration and Refugees and Priestly Vocations
October 3, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Encomendemos a todos los niños migrantes y a sus familias a María y a San José, que conocieron el exilio con el Niño Jesús en brazos. Que ellos nos enseñen a acoger, que hagan de nuestros hogares un semillero de vocaciones, y que Cristo, nuestra luz, brille sobre nosotros en estos tiempos inciertos. Amén.

Archbishop Lori Homily: Dedication of New Altar Blessing of Saint Andrew by the Bay Parish
October 2, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
The altar before us is not merely a symbol of Christ. It is the place where Christ’s sacrifice is sacramentally made present. Here heaven and earth meet. Here Christ gathers His people into communion with Himself.

Archbishop Lori Homily: Feast of the Little Flower
October 2, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
When you pray a Rosary, offer up your sufferings, go out of your way to cheer up a fellow resident – you are being “sent out” as missionaries right here in St. Martin’s. You, like Therese, can be the hidden spiritual engines of the Church!

Archbishop Lori Homily: Relics of St. Bernadette
September 28, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Truly, God’s ways are not our ways. He often chooses those who are poor and lowly to be his ambassadors and witnesses in a jaded world. He makes them the bearers of messages of repentance and reform.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us for the PIE Back to School Breakfast and supported PIE Giving Day.

Together, we raised more than $225,000!

Your generosity helps provide tuition assistance to students and families across our Catholic schools. Whether you made a gift, joined us at the Breakfast, shared our message, or supported PIE throughout the year, thank you for continuing to be an important part of our mission.

And we're not done celebrating!

Our 30th anniversary celebration continues with the PIE Homecoming Classic at Under Armour Stadium, featuring Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Archbishop Curley.

The students stole the show at the 30th Partners in Excellence Breakfast Sept. 29!

“Being able to see the joy she got from going to school, her interactions, what she learned, reading and everything – I love that. I knew that I made the right decision seeing that,” Samantha Shivers-Gudger said.

Shivers-Gudger, parent of Kennedy Gudger, who is in fourth grade at Mother Mary Lange Catholic School in Baltimore, said PIE supports not only a student, but what that student can do in the future to help the community. She said that every day, her daughter regales her with tales of what she learned and the fun she had.

PIE students show impact of giving - Catholic Review

The breakfast, sponsored annually by PIE to support Catholic students in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, invites local business leaders to network, hear about the impact on students and schools, and – the organizers hope – contribute to the cause.

One seminarian is expected to be ordained in January and 11 more in June, as the archdiocese’s number of men in priestly formation continues to climb.
