Please know that you will NOT receive a request from Fr. Hamilton using any email except the one in the bulletin. Do not respond in any way to these emails. Instead, please report the scam by clicking the image above.
Fr. Hamilton has been told that hackers have used his name, with several different email accounts, to solicit a response, using different verbiage which look very legitimate, like:
"Can I run something by you? I'd like to have a word via email. Bless you." and "How are you? What are your plans for the rest of the week? Please let me know!"
Then signing off as: "In Christ, Rev. Hamilton Okeke, Pastor" or "Blessings, Rev. Hamilton Okeke."

St. Agnes Campus Clean-Up & Improvement Day
Saturday, October 4, 2025, 8:30am - 12noon
Join in an opportunity to come together as a parish family and care for the beautiful grounds God has entrusted to us. There will be plenty of ways to help, whether it’s mulching, power-washing, shoveling, or simply lending a hand where it is needed. Weather permitting, we will also enjoy some light refreshments, including burgers & hot dogs, as a small thank you. Please consider taking part in this joyful day of service, fellowship, and stewardship.
Attention All Students! Take advantage of the three and a half hours of possible service hours, by joining us. Bring your school forms with you for Kyle to sign. He will also have some standard serve hour forms, if you don’t have one. Spread the word and make this day a huge success for your parish family.

St. Agnes Annual Eucharistic Procession
Saturday, October 18th
Annually, as a part of Catonsville’s 40 Days for Life Campaign, St. Agnes’ Eucharistic Procession along a 1/3-mile stretch of Rt 40 to the Potomac Family Planning Center (formerly known as the Hillcrest) and back, has begun after 8:00am Mass, escorted by Baltimore County Police, with parishioners walking along a walker and stroller friendly route. The church will remain open for those who cannot walk but want to prayerfully support the Eucharistic Procession. Our Respect Life Ministry will hold a reception in the Emmaus Room to close out the event. For information or to become more involved in our St. Agnes Respect Life Ministry, or to sign up for a prayer partner, please email Paula Noeller at: p_noeller@icloud.com.

Why OCIA?
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) is the Catholic Church's process for welcoming those who are unbaptized or baptized in another Christian tradition and seeking full communion with the Catholic Church. It is a journey of prayer, reflection, and gradual conversion, marked by meaningful steps along the way. Do you know someone who regularly attends Mass but hasn’t taken the next step toward becoming Catholic? Maybe a friend who often brings up thoughtful questions about faith, God, or spirituality? Or perhaps it’s you - attending Mass but still missing one or more of the Sacraments? Whoever it may be, take a moment to pray and reflect. To learn more, contact Fr. Hamilton at 410-744-2900
​
Who benefits from OCIA?
-
Anyone who has never been part of a faith community but feels a deep desire to belong.
-
Individuals raised in another Christian tradition who are now curious about the Catholic Church.
-
Baptized Catholics who have not yet received First Communion or Confirmation.
-
Those married to Catholics who want to learn more about the faith and explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
-
Anyone who senses a call or gentle prompting from the Holy Spirit to take the next step in their spiritual journey.​
Prayer for Pope Leo XIV
O God, who in Your providential design willed that Your Church be built upon blessed Peter, whom You set over the other Apostles, look with favor, we pray, on our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV and grant that he, whom You have made Peter’s successor, may be for Your people a visible source and foundation of unity in faith and of communion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen​
Pope Leo XIV's Monthly Intention
October 2025 - Prayer for Collaboration Between Different Religious Traditions.
Let us pray that believers in different religious traditions might work together to defend and promote peace, justice and human fraternity.
