If you and your spouse were married in a civil ceremony outside of the Catholic Church or a non-Catholic religious ceremony without a Catholic dispensation, we would like to invite you to a special three-day Marriage Convalidation program here at St. John, Oct. 7, 28 & Nov. 4. Our amazing mentor couples and St. John the Evangelist clergy and staff will guide you on your journey to sacramental marriage to bring you, your spouse, and your family into a closer relationship with God and be filled with the graces of the Holy Spirit to faithfully face the joys and challenges of married life.
Men of St. John the Evangelist, grow in prayer and fight the spiritual battle against temptation and sin. Following St. Francis of Assisi, who had a deep devotion to St. Michael the Archangel, we will pull back from distractions and focus on the things that matter most. Join us for our kick-off meeting at 7p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, in the meeting room in the Severna Park Library.
