St. Agnes Annual Eucharistic Procession
This Saturday, October 18th
As part of Catonsville’s 40 Days for Life Campaign (see below), St. Agnes’ Eucharistic Procession along a 1/3-mile stretch of Rt 40 to the Potomac Family Planning Center (formerly known as the Hillcrest) and back, begins after 8:00am Mass, escorted by Baltimore County Police, with parishioners walking along a walker and stroller friendly route. The church will remain open for those who cannot walk but want to prayerfully support the Eucharistic Procession. Our Respect Life Ministry will hold a reception in the Emmaus Room to close out the event. For information or to become more involved in our St. Agnes Respect Life Ministry, or to sign up for a prayer partner, please email Paula Noeller at: p_noeller@icloud.com.

The Fall 40 Days for Life Vigil Campaign (September 24 - November 2, 2025) is composed of individuals from our greater community who openly pray on the sidewalk of the local Potomac Family Planning Center. To sign up and find more area events devoted to promoting life from conception to natural death, visit:

Women's Bible Study Video Night - October 16th
“From the time we are little girls, we long for friendship.” -Lisa Brenninkmeyer, Founder of Walking with Purpose
Authentic friendship can be hard to find. A friendship where we have the freedom to share who we are with someone else and to be truly vulnerable isn’t always easy, but it is possible. Join us, and together we will dive deeper into friendship as we view the next video in our Keeping in Balance series, Getting a Grip in Our Relationships. Go on and grab a friend and join us on Thursday, October 16th at 7:00pm, in the Emmaus Room. The friendships are waiting.

​
Why OCIA?
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the Catholic Church's process for welcoming those who are unbaptized or baptized in another Christian tradition and seeking full communion with the Catholic Church. It is a journey of prayer, reflection, and gradual conversion, marked by meaningful steps along the way. Do you know someone who regularly attends Mass but hasn’t taken the next step toward becoming Catholic? Maybe a friend who often brings up thoughtful questions about faith, God, or spirituality? Or perhaps it’s you - attending Mass but still missing one or more of the Sacraments? Whoever it may be, take a moment to pray and reflect. To learn more, contact the parish office.
​
Who benefits from OCIA?
-
Anyone who has never been part of a faith community but feels a deep desire to belong.
-
Individuals raised in another Christian tradition who are now curious about the Catholic Church.
-
Baptized Catholics who have not yet received First Communion or Confirmation.
-
Those married to Catholics who want to learn more about the faith and explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
-
Anyone who senses a call or gentle prompting from the Holy Spirit to take the next step in their spiritual journey.​

Prayer for Pope Leo XIV
O God, who in Your providential design willed that Your Church be built upon blessed Peter, whom You set over the other Apostles, look with favor, we pray, on our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV and grant that he, whom You have made Peter’s successor, may be for Your people a visible source and foundation of unity in faith and of communion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen​
Pope Leo XIV's Monthly Intention
October 2025 - Prayer for Collaboration Between Different Religious Traditions.
Let us pray that believers in different religious traditions might work together to defend and promote peace, justice and human fraternity.
October is the Month of the Holy Rosary
At the end of his September 24, 2025 audience, Pope Leo XIV noted that in October, the Catholic Church traditionally dedicates the whole month to praying the rosary.
​
At St. Agnes, we have a group of parishioners who gather to pray the Rosary after every 8:00am Daily Mass, Monday - Saturday, all year long. Come join us!
Jubilee Year of Hope 2025
On December 24, 2024, we begin the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025 concurrently with the Eucharistic Revival’s Year of Mission! To mark both occasions, all are invited to journey through the Jubilee Year of Hope preparing your own hearts as missionary disciples and sharing your faith with others.
