Damascus Summer Camp
2026-06-07 - 2026-07-31 | Summit Lake Camp, 7610 Hampton Valley Rd., Emmitsburg, MD, 21727, United States
Damascus Summer Camp is now in Maryland!
Too many young people today are abandoning faith and desperate for hope. Like St. Paul on the road to Damascus, they need an encounter with Jesus to transform them and invite them to become the next generation of missionary disciples.
Damascus Summer Camp seeks to bring that hope to as many youth, young adults and families as possible. Over the last 25 years a humble parish-based effort has grown from 63 campers and a handful of volunteers to a national movement where over 50,000 participants each year are invited to live the adventure of the Catholic faith through world-class camps, conferences, retreats and events.
The camp runs June 7 – July 31 at the Summit Lake Camp location. Visit the website to learn more about volunteering and weeks for different age groups this year.

Movie Night: "Alex & Eve
2026-06-17 18:45 - 21:00 | St. Ignatius Catholic Community, 740 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD, 21202, United States
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.
✦ There is no charge for this event Popcorn, snacks and beverages will be provided.
