We are deeply saddened by the news of so many Catonsville establishments being broken into early this morning. Please support them, either by shopping with them, buying gift cards, or donating to assist in their efforts to recover. May those who perpetrated these crimes repent of the evil they have done and may God have mercy upon them

These are the known businesses affected by the break-ins early this morning. These are also some of the first businesses to donate to local causes, step up with fundraising efforts, sponsor events, and offer overall support for our community. We’re working on getting in contact with owners to see how we and the community can help. Right now, the easiest and best way to help is to make a purchase from them.

Franco's Italian Bistro and El Guapo have both reopened. If you can’t make it there for a meal, you could purchase a gift card online.

If your business was affected and not listed, please message us.

Come to OLC today to venerate the Relic of the True Cross at 12:00 Noon Mass today. Let us honor the instrument of our salvation in anticipation of the Feast of the Exultation of the Holy Cross on Sunday. After noon Mass today, we will pray a Holy Hour of Reparation before the Blessed Sacrament. This article articulates why we need to pray with all our confidence in Christ and his love, grace, mercy and redemption. Booklets provided.

COMMENTARY: As proper icons elevate, perverse icons degrade — and horrific recent crimes have imprinted images that make present the reality of evil. But evil will not have the last word.
