Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 31st Sunday, Knights of Columbus Mid-Year Meeting
November 4, 2024Archbishop William E. Lori
Both the Book of Deuteronomy and Jesus himself in Mark’s Gospel instruct us that the first and greatest commandment is to love God with all one’s heart, and Jesus adds, “you shall love your neighbor as yourself” – that is to say, from the very depth of your heart.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: All Soul’s Day
November 4, 2024Archbishop William E. Lori
But we should also take great comfort the existence of purgatory – that state of being further purified even after death, that is to say, made ready for heaven, where we are to receive and reflect the infinitely pure and beautiful love of the Triune God with which all the saints are resplendent.

Archbishop Lori’s Remarks: Knights of Columbus States Deputies Mid-Year Membership Meeting
November 4, 2024Archbishop William E. Lori
This year, I’ve had the opportunity to experience firsthand the spirit and work of the Order in Canada, the Philippines, and Ukraine. I’ve also been able to look at the spirit and mission of the Order through the lens of the month-long Synod on Synodality in Rome. This morning, I won’t offer you a travel-log but I will share with you some reflections on what I have seen and heard.

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Solemnity of All Saints
November 4, 2024Archbishop William E. Lori
Just as Fr. McGivney encourages priests to holiness and charity, so too the amazing array of saints, canonized and uncanonized, encourage all of us to embrace our baptismal call to holiness, to missionary discipleship and to a life of charity – all summed up by Blessed Michael McGivney in a few words: charity, unity and fraternity, coupled with longing for our true homeland in heaven.

160th Anniversary of Maryland Emancipation Day – A message from the Catholic Bishops of Maryland
October 31, 2024Archdiocese of Baltimore
Today we commemorate a pivotal moment in history: the 160th anniversary of Maryland Emancipation Day, which marks the day the Maryland Constitution of 1864 went into effect and officially abolished slavery within the state. This day, when all those still held in bondage were finally set free, is a profound reminder of the dignity of every human person, a dignity that the Catholic Church upholds as sacred and inviolable.

Growing up in Pittsburgh, Rick Opatick was a cradle Catholic.
“Later, I began to realize how much I didn't know,” he recalls. “Catechism in the 70s...there was no Bible study...it was more about getting along.”
