Almost all events submitted – if they are sponsored by a Catholic parish, school or other organization in the Archdiocese of Baltimore – will be featured in the online calendar.
A human monitor will approve submissions for posting.
Events submitted by the first of the month prior to the month of the event may be considered for the print edition of Catholic Review magazine (e.g., by Jan. 1 for publication in the February magazine). So that all entities in the archdiocese have a fair opportunity to be listed in the limited space in the print publication, entities will be limited to no more than two in each calendar month print edition. If more than two have been submitted, Catholic Review Media staff will decide which items to publish, at their discretion.

Conference and Retreat for Catholic Hospice Workers
Providing care for those who are dying and their families is intensive…but it is a sacred privilege as well.
Accompanying those who are making the transition from this life to the next—and their loved ones as well—is not just a job, but a true covenantal relationship. Health care providers engaged in this work know all too well that it involves both times for “doing” and times for “being;” times of sorrow and times of joy and peace.
Persons of faith know that there is more than this life, but … there are still some days that are so long, so difficult. After giving so much of themselves, they need to be replenished.
“Come away for a while and rest.” Mark 6:31
Join us for a day of reflection, rest, and replenishment. Led by Dr. Pat Fosarelli, a physician and pastoral theologian, this day will provide presentations, discussions, prayer, and—most importantly—time for simply being with God and others who are engaged in the same sacred work.
(program cost includes lunch, snacks, and hospitality)
