Summer in Baltimore comes with a few traditions we all know well: crab feasts, weekends downy ocean, snowballs on the hottest afternoons, cookouts, fireworks, and summer nights at Camden Yards.

As we celebrate 30 years of the Partners In Excellence Scholarship Program (PIE),
we’re reminded that the best part of Baltimore has always been its people. The neighbors, businesses, schools, and supporters who continue to invest in one another and in the future of our city.

This summer, while checking off your PIE Summer Bucket list, we invite you to continue making an impact. Whether it’s supporting scholarships, sharing our mission with a colleague or friend, and/or saving the date to join us for the PIE Back-to-School Breakfast on September 29th, every act of support helps create opportunity for students and families across Baltimore.

Wishing you a safe, relaxing, and very Baltimore summer.

With joyful hearts, we celebrate newly ordained transitional Deacon Benjamin Oursler as he reflects on his journey of faith, his call to serve the Church, and the final steps toward the priesthood.

His witness is a beautiful reminder of the power of saying “yes” to God’s call and trusting in where the Lord leads. Please continue to pray for Deacon Michael and all our transitional deacons as they continue their journey toward the priesthood and faithful service to the Church.

When Deacon John Russ Sulllivan has free time or is traveling, he finds himself visiting local fire stations.

“I break bread with them, share laughs,” Deacon Sullivan said. “I answer questions about faith, their questions about God. It is what discipleship is all about.”

As a budding triathlete and former track and field performer, Deacon Connor Schmidt appreciates that he’s nearing the finish line in his journey to the priesthood.

“I think I’m looking forward to the ways the Lord works through me to give hope and joy to people,” Deacon Schmidt said. “The Lord wants to give us good things. It’s inspiring that I might be able to provide some of that hope and joy through the sacraments.”
