Do you want to crush the head of the serpent and abortion? This is a spiritual battle. Spiritual battles need spiritual weapons. We need a crusade. The Head of the Crusade is Mary. We do not have to re-invent the wheel, Heaven has already provided the weapons to end abortion. These are the 2 pillars that St John Bosco told us about: The Most Holy Eucharist and The Blessed Virgin Mary. Sign up and become a crusader for Mary. Join the first step and receive Holy Communion for the intentions of the Crusade. Click on Mary to go to the website.

We, the Catholic Bishops of the Province of Baltimore and the Archdiocese of Washington, give thanks to Almighty God for the progress our country has made in curbing the coronavirus pandemic. The average number of new cases of COVID-19 continues to decline due to the observance of safety protocols and the increase of the availability of the vaccine. At this time, many places in our region are enjoying a return to some sense of normalcy. Therefore, we are lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Days Mass obligation in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the Archdiocese of Washington, and the Dioceses of Arlington, Richmond, Wheeling-Charleston, and Wilmington and reinstating that obligation beginning on Saturday, June 26, 2021 and Sunday, June 27, 2021. We welcome and encourage the Faithful to return to full in-person participation of the Sunday Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith (the entire document may be viewed in our Bulletin Insert section)
