Monthly Potluck Social

Madonna and Child

Our next monthly potluck social will be held after Mass on Sunday, October 29. Please bring a dish to share! Crockpots welcome! A good rule of thumb is to bring twice as much food as is typically required to feed your own family.

 

 

 

 

 

Tradtio Homeschool Group Launches with First Event

On October 4th, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, our new Traditio homeschool group held its first event, a pilgrimage to the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Emmitsburg, Maryland and a visit to the nearby Catoctin Wildlife Preserve. Traditio exists to provide fellowship and support for traditionally minded Catholic homeschoolers through monthly activities that help families live the liturgical year according to the feasts and seasons of the traditional liturgical calendar. For more information, please contact Carina DeBakey.

Religious Items
