Almost all events submitted – if they are sponsored by a Catholic parish, school or other organization in the Archdiocese of Baltimore – will be featured in the online calendar.
A human monitor will approve submissions for posting.
Events submitted by the first of the month prior to the month of the event may be considered for the print edition of Catholic Review magazine (e.g., by Jan. 1 for publication in the February magazine). So that all entities in the archdiocese have a fair opportunity to be listed in the limited space in the print publication, entities will be limited to no more than two in each calendar month print edition. If more than two have been submitted, Catholic Review Media staff will decide which items to publish, at their discretion.

When a Greek Orthodox man and a Lebanese Muslim woman fall madly in love, they brace for their very traditional parents’ dismayed reactions. Alex & Eve is a 2015 Australian romantic comedy film directed by Peter Andrikidis and written by Alex Lykos. The film explores multiculturalism and interfaith relationships through a lighthearted, “star-crossed lovers” narrative set in suburban Sydney. It was adapted from Lykos’s highly successful 2006 stage play of the same name.
The story follows Alex, a handsome but timid Greek Orthodox high school algebra teacher in his mid-thirties. His traditional, domineering parents are heavily pressuring him to settle down with a “good Greek girl”. However, everything changes when he meets and falls hopelessly in love with Eve, a confident Lebanese Muslim lawyer. Because Eve’s parents have already arranged a marriage for her with a Lebanese Muslim man, the couple must initially hide their blossoming relationship. The film highlights the comedic and emotional clashes that occur when their two fiercely traditional families eventually find out about the pairing.
This film is hosted by the St. Ignatius Interfaith Ministry.
