THE CATHOLIC IMPACT: HOW MARYLAND
CATHOLICS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR STATE
Maryland is home to more than one million Catholics who work
to transform lives every day through parishes, schools, social
services, homeless services, senior care, medical care and
more.
"Catholics across Maryland live out their faith every day by
serving others, helping to build community, and working to make our
state a wonderful place to live," said Jenny Kraska, executive
director of the Maryland Catholic Conference. "Whether it is helping a
family in need of rent assistance, medical care, or housing; or
running a program like Safe Streets in Baltimore, Maryland Catholics
are making an impact."

DISCOVER AND CELEBRATE CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS WEEK
For more than 40 years, Catholics schools across the United
States have set aside the last week of January to celebrate Catholic
Schools Week. This year, the celebration starts Sunday, Jan. 26 and
runs through Feb. 1.
First held in 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the
annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. The
theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2020 is “Discover
and Celebrate” with additional daily themes for each day of the
week.

across the state each Monday for our government leaders?
We hope so! If you do, send us a video! We welcome those who pray
along with us to film yourself saying the prayer — even include your
family, friends, pets or coworkers too! — and share it with us. Those
who send us videos may be featured on our social media in an upcoming
week!
To submit a video, visit our Facebook page and click to
SEND MESSAGE (this button is located at the top

yourself and saying the prayer to us via direct message.
For this coming week's prayer, and to mark the start of Catholic

Francis International School in Silver Spring to lead us.
