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.

Saturday, December 20, 6 a.m.
Join us for the beautiful eighth-century Advent tradition of the Rorate Caeli Mass. The term originates from the first Latin words of the introit to the Fourth Sunday of Advent Mass and the votive Masses of the Blessed Mother, Rorate, Caeli, Desuper, meaning “Drop down, ye heavens!” It is celebrated before dawn in honor of the Blessed Mother. In the quiet winter darkness, worshippers arrive with lanterns or candles to light the chapel – symbolizing Mary as the Dawn and Christ as the Perfect Day.
All are invited to bring a lantern or candle for this candlelit liturgy. Breakfast will follow in Ignatian Hall.
