Archbishop Lori Homily: Feast of the Transfiguration
August 6, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Yes, it is good to succeed in our chosen fields. To find happiness in our vocations and daily work. To leave the world a better place than we found it. But unless we are leading a transfigured life capable of amazing the world, unless we are manifesting the glory of God in Christ Jesus, we are not aiming high enough!

Archbishop Lori Homily: Catholic Biblical Association Meeting
July 20, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
You and I both experience the need for a place of solitude, a place of quiet, apart from the world’s sound and fury, apart even from the dusty roads of mission, ministry, and the academy. It is there, alone with the Lord, that we can give voice to our questions, wrestle with our doubts, probe the Word of God more deeply, and in his grace, draw our conclusions.

While 431 firearms were collected at the Archdiocese of Baltimore's fourth annual gun buyback, the spirit of the day extended right across the street. In a local park, neighbors gathered for free burgers and snow cones, while nonprofits offered fresh vegetables, T-shirts, and bags of toiletries and other necessities.

It's a beautiful picture of what this ministry is really about: not just taking guns off the streets, but building up the whole person and the whole community — body and soul.

"Any weapon taken off the street — saving even one life — that's well worth the effort," said Fr. Michael Murphy, the event's organizer.

With Baltimore seeing record declines in violence, this ministry is a sign of hope for safer streets and stronger communities.

Celebrating the Past. Investing in the Future.
For 30 years, Partners in Excellence has transformed lives by making Catholic education accessible to students and families. As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead with gratitude and purpose, recognizing that the opportunities we create today will shape the leaders, servants, and faithful communities of tomorrow.
This fall, we invite you to celebrate with us through three events that reflect the heart of PIE's mission: the 30th Annual Back to School Breakfast and PIE Giving Day on September 29, and our inaugural Homecoming Classic on October 24. Together, these celebrations will honor the impact of the past while inspiring continued investment in the future of Catholic education.
Join us as we celebrate 30 years of opening doors and help ensure countless more students have the opportunity to walk through them. For more information visit www.pieschools.org.

Every life is sacred — a gift from God to be protected and cherished. That’s why we were proud to once again partner with Baltimore Police Department for the 4th Annual Gun Buyback & Resource Fair, where 431 firearms were collected from our community.

Since 2023, nearly 1,500 firearms have been taken off our streets through this event. Each one represents a step toward the peace Christ calls us to build — a safer, more life-affirming Baltimore for our children and families.

We give thanks for this partnership with BPD, and for all who came together today in service of our shared belief in the sanctity and dignity of every human life. #baltimore #publicsafety #gunbuyback #sanctityoflife
