As the Partners In Excellence scholarship program celebrated 30 years of helping students from families with limited financial means access a Catholic education, two of its beneficiary schools took the spotlight Oct. 24 at Baltimore’s Under Armour Stadium. catholicreview.org/mount-car… @CurleyHS

Nearly eight months after Pope Leo XIV appointed him apostolic nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Gabriele Caccia visited Baltimore Oct. 25, offering a reminder of the Holy See’s close ties to the nation’s oldest Catholic see. Celebrating morning Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Vatican diplomat urged Catholics to bear witness to their faith not only through words but through acts of love and service, especially toward those who are vulnerable, lonely or in need. catholicreview.org/papal-nun…

Today is National I Care About You Day—a beautiful reminder to reach out with compassion and kindness. As a community rooted in faith, hope, and love, let’s take a moment to let someone know they matter. Whether it’s a call, a prayer, or a simple message, your care can make a profound difference. Who will you reach out to today? Tag someone you appreciate or share how you show you care. 💙

⛪ A special morning of faith and fellowship at America’s First Cathedral. This morning, we gathered at the historic Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the celebration of the Nuncio Mass. In this sacred place, where generations have gathered in prayer, we give thanks for the gift of our Catholic faith and for the unity of the universal Church. May this celebration strengthen us in our mission to proclaim the Gospel and serve Christ with renewed faith, hope, and love. 💙
