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.

Day Retreat - Creator and the Cosmos
2026-07-23 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
During this day of meditation, we will have the opportunity to engage with our creator and the cosmos through visio divina and audio divina. Similar to lectio divina, which focuses on scripture, visio divina focuses on sacred seeing. It is an ancient form of prayer involving meditating through sight. It invites one to engage with an image in a way that will move our minds and hearts to the presence of God. In addition, there will be recordings of sounds from space so we may enter into audio divina. These forms of prayer will encourage us to sharpen our senses of seeing and hearing as a way to connect with the divine, deepening our awareness of God and God’s love. The day will include communal prayer, meditation, visio divina, and audio divina, as well as free time to journal, walk with nature, or simply rest in the presence of our God. Lunch is included. Guided by Donna Bilek.
There is also an overnight option for this retreat. Visit bonsecoursrcc.org/events for details.

Join us Saturday, Aug. 1, as we walk and pray for an outpouring of God’s love and strength into our Archdiocesan priests and seminarians in the midst of the Church’s novena to St. Jean-Marie Vianney, patron of parish priests.

Please note: Our pace is three-miles-per-hour so we can arrive at St. John for 8:30a.m. Mass. It is an easy surface but a brisk pace. Meet us at St John’s parking lot at 4:15a.m. and get a ride or carpool to St. Mary’s Church in downtown Annapolis. The walk from St. Mary, Annapolis to St. John, is 9.4 miles.

2026-08-01 07:00 - 08:30 | St. John the Evangelist, Severna Park, 689 Ritchie Hwy., Severna Park, 21146, United States
“Lectio: The Case for Jesus,” a video study program from the Augustine Institute presented by Brant Pitre, Ph.D. Do you follow Jesus ‘on the way?’ Can we trust the Gospels? Do we really know who wrote them? Do the Gospels communicate truth, or fabricated fables? Who is Jesus? Join Dr. Pitre as he draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, as he gives an in-depth look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Christ’s divinity. Strengthen your faith so that you can not only stand firm and profess that Jesus truly is “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but also confidently respond to any skeptics you encounter. Watch the trailer on Formed: app.formed.org/app/videos/1343209. We will meet 7—8:30a.m. in Cottage 1 next to the playground on the nine Saturday mornings of: May 30, June 6, June 20,

Join us for a special Sunday Mass honoring the Feast of Our Lady of the Angels, patron of our Province. Friar Michael Heine, OFM Conv., will celebrate Mass in the Shrine Chapel.
The Feast of Our Lady of the Angels honors the dedication of the Portiuncula, a tiny stone chapel in Assisi, Italy, that is the spiritual birthplace of the Franciscan Order and the exact site where St. Francis of Assisi died. On this day, pilgrims can receive the Assisi indulgence. St. Francis of Assisi secured this privilege in 1216. It allows the faithful to receive complete remission of temporal punishment due to sin, under specific condition.
Following Mass, there will be a BBQ lunch served at Carrollton Hall, during a special Open House in honor of the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. While the Declaration was ratified on July 4, the founding fathers, including Charles Carroll of Carrollton, did not sign the document until Aug. 2, 2026. To RSVP for the Open House and BBQ lunch, please click here. The event is free and open to the public.
