Pastor Notes
Dear Friends,
A very joyous and Merry Christmas to all of you! It is
truly a blessing to gather with you and celebrate the
birth of our Lord this year. May you and your families
have a happy and holy Holiday and a blessed New
Year.
Inside this bulletin, you will find lots of information
about what we do in our Parishes of Our Lady of Hope
and St. Luke’s. Please, take some time to read it and
see if there are any programs or services that catch your
eye. All are welcome to share in the good work of
spreading the Gospel through our Catholic community;
and we are so glad to share this time together with you!
In God’s Peace,
Fr. Austin

LITURGY and WORSHIP
Mass is the center of our life at Our Lady of
Hope. Each weekend, we gather to celebrate
Mass at 4:00PM on Saturday evening and 8:30 &
11:30AM on Sunday morning. During the week,
we celebrate Mass at 8:00AM, Mon – Fri. All are
welcome to join us in praising and thanking God
in the Eucharist.
Every First Friday of the month, we have
Eucharistic Adoration at St. Luke Church, from
9:30AM until 4:00PM, with Benediction at
4:00PM. All are invited to share this beautiful
time of quiet prayer with our Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (or
Confession) is celebrated regularly on Saturday
afternoon from 3:00 to 3:45PM. One can also
make an appointment with one of the priests for
a special meeting for Confession.
If you are a loved one is in need of the
Sacrament of the Sick (or Anointing), please
call the Parish Office to arrange for one of the
priests to come to your home or hospital to bring
this Sacrament of God’s healing, mercy, and love
to you.
If you are looking to share your faith with your
child through the Sacrament of Baptism, please
contact Deacon Herman Wilkins at the Parish
Office to make the arrangements. We happily
celebrate this entry into the Body of Christ, the
Church, both at Mass on the weekends, or more
intimately with you and your family in the
church.
Those wishing to celebrate the Sacrament of
Holy Matrimony are invited to contact one of
the priests or deacon to discuss plans for your
big day. We ask that you begin preparations at
least six months prior to your desired wedding
date. The Church rejoices with you, and we want
to accompany you on this wondrous journey of
love.
If you hear God’s call to serve Him and His
People in the Church as a priest or deacon in the
Sacrament of Holy Orders, or if you feel called
to reach out to others as a consecrated religious
Sister or Brother, then please contact Fr. Austin
Murphy at the Parish Office, and he will be happy
to discuss how God is working in your life
through this wondrous vocation.
EVANGELIZATION and MISSION
Evangelization means, simply, the sharing of an
encounter with Jesus Christ that we have had
with others, and making that encounter real for
them as well. It is at the heart of our mission as a
Church, as Jesus gave us the “Great Commission”
when He told His followers to “Go, make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have
commanded you” (Matt 19-20). Together with
the other parishes in Southeastern Baltimore
County, we share our faith with our community.
Through various social activities, we help to
form a community around our Parishes. We
have monthly bus trips, occasional Parish
feasts, and periodic dances and socials to bring
people together for fun and fellowship.
For those who are not Catholic but feel the draw
toward sharing full Communion with us, we have
our Come & See program that teaches what we
believe so that others may make their own
decision to follow Jesus in the Catholic Church.
Classes meet every Monday evening at St. Luke
Church from 7:00 to 8:30PM. Drop-ins are
always welcome!
Our Lady of Hope is also on Facebook! If you are
on Facebook too, let’s be friends! You can “like”
our page at “Our Lady of Hope Parish.” Also, we
have a Parish Website to share information and
more.
Our
address
is
www.OurLadyOfHope.church.
Our Parish community is served by the
Bethlehem Council of the Knights of
Columbus. The Knights arrange various social
and service opportunities as part of their
mission. The Council home is located at 7401 Bay
Front Drive, in Edgemere, and their telephone
number is 410-477-5225.
EDUCATION and FAITH FORMATION
Our Lady of Hope/St. Luke School has served
the Catholic Community in Dundalk and
Edgemere since 1954. Our school shares
knowledge and faith with our children from PreK, ages 3 and 4, through 8th Grade – preparing
them to enter high school as faith-filled disciples,
ready to handle the work of secondary school. If
you are interested in checking out the school for
yourself, we are happy to arrange a visit. Simply
call the School Office at 410-288-2793
For those whose children are attending a nonCatholic school but who want them to learn the
faith, we also have a Religious Education
program. Our flexible program allows students
to attend classes either on Sunday mornings (at
Our Lady of Hope) or on Monday evening (for
middle school, Grades 6-7-8) or Wednesday
evening (for Grades K – 5), both at St. Luke’s. If
you’d like more information about enrolling, call
the Religious Education Office at 410-477-5201.
Every Wednesday at 11:00AM, we have a Bible
Study group that meets in the Rectory, and on
Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8PM, another
group meets at St. Luke. All are welcome!
our call to be agents of this Mercy in our
community.
Our Lady of Hope serves the needy in our
community through our St. Vincent DePaul Food
Pantry. Donations of non-perishable food are
always welcome, and we distribute food for the
needy on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month,
from 10Am until noon.
If you or a loved one is homebound and in need
of Communion, we have a dedicated corps of
Pastoral Home Visitors who bring Communion
to those in need. If you would like a home or
hospital visit, please call the Parish Office, and
someone will be happy to visit. Also, if you are
interested in sharing in this ministry, please call
the Parish Office to talk with Fr. Austin.
STEWARDSHIP and DEVELOPMENT
Each weekend at Mass, in addition to the gifts of
Bread and Wine to be transformed into the Body
and Blood of Christ, we take up an Offertory
Collection. The financial giving of our
parishioners allows our Parishes to serve the
needs of the community, both spiritual and
material. Our collection helps us to pay for
upkeep on our facilities, utility bills, staff
salaries, as well as support for our Food Pantry,
outreach ministries throughout the Archdiocese.
Tithing (sacrificial giving) has always been a part
of our faith tradition – not because God needs
the money, but because through this sacrifice we
recognize that our blessings ultimately come
from our loving Father. Registered parishioners
receive Offertory envelopes each month to help
coordinate their giving and our ability to
recognize these tax-deductible contributions. If
you find a home here at St. Luke and would like
to receive envelopes, call the Parish Office to
register. We are so grateful to our generous
family of faith!
OUTREACH and SERVICE
Jesus says, “I was hungry and you gave me food,
thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger
and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me,
sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to
me” (Matt 25:35-36). During this Jubilee Year of
Mercy, we are called to reflect more closely on
May you and your family have a
happy and holy Holiday Season!
