Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone! May you celebrate safely this holiday weekend. Attached is our bulletin for this Sunday, July 3rd, the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, and a reflection from Fr. Canisius. Father made it safely to Guatemala and has had a busy week of long days in the classroom. We pray that his studies go well and look forward to his return in August.
On Monday, July 4th
Morning Mass will be celebrated at 9:00am
The Parish Office will be closed on Monday, July 4th, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. It will reopen on Tuesday at 9:00am.
Our parish Food Pantry is open every Monday and Thursday to feed our neighbors in need, but donations to the pantry have been declining recently. We ask everyone to prayerfully consider how you can support this important outreach ministry. A list of the most urgently needed items is posted in the bulletin each week. Donations can be placed in the shopping carts found in the church vestibule or dropped off at the parish office during normal business hours.
A BIG THANK YOU to Pat McCukser, Michael Alegieunu, the Fish Family (Tim, Diane, Sam and Maggie), and new parishioner Martina Sutherland for helping beautify the church grounds last Saturday. We were able to clean up the Mary Garden, the area in front of the Rectory, as well as clean out some of the bushes around the cemetery. Twelve contractor bags of weeds, vines and ivy were collected. Impressive work everyone!! We still have lots more to do. Fr. Canisius has been doing his own gardening by putting in plants and flowers to help make our parish grounds BEAUTIFUL! Take a look around when you come to mass. Keep an eye out for our next clean up weekend. We hope to see you there!!

It has come to our attention that fraudulent emails have been going out under Fr. Canisius's name. Father will NEVER ask for gifts cards, monetary assistance, or the like, via email. If you received an email that says he is too busy to call and you must reach him via email--it is a SCAM. His only valid email address is canisius.tah@archbalt.org. Please check the actual address the email is coming from, don't rely on just his name in the "from" field of the email. If it is not canisius.tah@archbalt.org, it is a SCAM. If you ever receive a questionable email, please feel free to contact the parish office at 410-486-5400 to confirm its validity before acting on it.
