Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 3rd Sunday of Advent 2025
December 15, 2025Archbishop William E. Lori

Back in Baltimore with her family at St. Francis Xavier Church - Actor, singer, podcaster, and proud Catholic, Melissa Victor grew up worshipping and singing in St. Frances Xavier Church and its Gospel choir. She is back home in Baltimore and is currently lighting up the stage in Wicked at the Hippodrome, playing Shen Shen. We caught up with Melissa, and she told us about how special it is to be home, in her home parish – with friends and family! #HiMelissa #BaltimoreProud #Wicked #Hippodrome #ShareGodsLove
