Real Presence Renewal at St. John
In the Gospel of John you hear the timeless question, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Real Presence Renewal is a spiritual exercise that proposes an answer to this question by laying out a clear path you can follow across 8 weeks and beyond. This exercise is a powerful tool designed to strengthen, renew, and reignite your faith in the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. It was created for every Catholic, from the young to the old, from the recent convert to priests and those with advanced degrees in theology.
In-person meetings will be held Monday or Wednesday evenings from 7:30-8:30 PM, beginning September 20th, 2021 in the Portico.
Please visit realpresencerenewal.org to learn more and to register.

Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries
Next weekend, Saint John will launch our 2019 Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries at our parish. Formerly known as the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, the same support for the spiritual and corporal works of mercy in our local church is being requested under a new name and a new brand. With the support of Annual Appeal monies, the Archdiocese of Baltimore provides pastoral, educational, and charitable ministries to parishes and families throughout the Archdiocese.
