Archbishop Lori Homily: Relics of St. Bernadette
September 28, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Truly, God’s ways are not our ways. He often chooses those who are poor and lowly to be his ambassadors and witnesses in a jaded world. He makes them the bearers of messages of repentance and reform.

Archbishop Lori Homily: Saints Lorenzo Ruiz and Pedro Calungsod
September 28, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
And that is why we cling to Jesus – begging for the grace to say “yes” to God every day. No matter how difficult the day. No matter how vexing the people around us. No matter how unpleasant the task at hand may be, or how radically God is asking us to leave our comfort zone.

Archbishop Lori Homily: Votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary
September 21, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
The work entrusted to you is nothing less than the formation of the human person— forming consciences, instilling virtues, leading many to become disciples of the Lord and active members of the holy People of God.

Archbishop Lori Talk: Keynote Address to the Council of Major Superior of Women Religious
September 18, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
For what are poverty, chastity, and obedience if not the joyful proclamation that true freedom is found, not in doing whatever we desire, but in becoming the persons God created us to be?

"We know the stats on how well our students are doing, but none of this would be possible unless we all came together." - Archbishop Lori

What a joy-filled morning celebrating Catholic education in Baltimore! The Archdiocese of Baltimore joined educators, students, corporate partners, and friends of Partners In Excellence for the Annual Back-to-School Breakfast at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum.

The celebration opened with music from Our Lady of Mount Carmel School's dancers and musicians, followed by a prayer led by students from Archbishop Borders, Mother Mary Lange, and Mount Carmel.

Mark Viviano hosted fireside chats with students, and leaders from across our Catholic school community — sharing why this work matters.

This Breakfast was the beginning — and gifts to PIE Giving Day are how the mission continues. Every dollar helps a student in our Catholic schools SHINE.
