Beloved Community, The Keys' Family Friends and Family are hosting a fundraiser to Honor Trey Keys on 5 June 2019 at Kelsey's Irish Pub (See Attached Flyer). Thank you for being the hands and heart of Christ to Dawn and the kids. Aren’t we grateful to be part of a community that loves so generously in word, action, and prayer. Many have asked how our school, church and neighbor communities can continue to support this beloved family as this move through the realities of this season of life: 1. PRAY Without Ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) 2. If feel called, PLEASE DONATE A SILENT AUCTION ITEM. Do you have one of these items hanging around and not being used? Could it have a second life in our silent auction? Quick Turn: Please submit all items to Resurrection-St. Paul School Office by 5/31.

Special Notice As many of you know, Fr. Warren has been fighting some pretty constant bouts of sickness over the last several months. He has done his best to give us all he can as our pastor, but he's a bit exhausted now. He requested a temporary leave of absence from the Archbishop, which was granted today. Fr. Warren is working with his doctors to develop a plan of recovery so that he is able to get back to us as quickly as possible. With that said, we are well covered with great support from our sister parishes and from the Archdiocese. We trust in God's love for a speedy recovery for Fr. Warren. Please keep him in your prayers as he heals. Should you have any need for assistance, please contact the office at [email protected] or 410-465-1670.

Best part? It's all FREE! Make sure your middle schooler brings a friend with them! NOTE: We've moved this event to Resurrection so that we have space for laser tag (drive around to the back parking lot and enter through the door marked "MP Entrance").
