We are called to be a light brightly visible, not to proclaim ourselves but to proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord (2 Corinthians 4:5).”

NEW FACILITIES IN SEVERNA PARK

St. John the Evangelist Church and School in Severna Park celebrated the dedication of their new Parish Activities Center Jan. 27.

The new 14,000 square-foot building features a regulation-size high school basketball court, meeting space for 850 guests and LED lighting that adjusts to available light.

“It will indeed be a center for parish activities, for school activities. A place where young people will learn their Catholic faith. A place where adults will deepen their commitment to live as Christ has taught us,” said Archbishop William E. Lori.
