Helping Out Where We Are Able

Dear Parishioners,

 As you know during these unprecedent times in our world, the Coronavirus has changed the way “normal” society and communities operate. We have seen the unfortunate outcome of businesses closing, people losing their jobs, and of course the adjustments with our day to day family activities. One thing that we are reminded of during these times is that we need to rely on one another and help out where we are able.

During the recent weeks, we received a request to help out an independent Catholic School who, because of COVID and regulations, were unable to use their expected space. After weeks of searching from Bowie, Baltimore, and Annapolis, Divine Mercy Academy still needed to find a location. After they wrote a letter to the Archbishop’s office, they were granted permission to hold classes here at the Parish Center at St. Jane Frances. Beginning on Monday, October 5, Divine Mercy Academy will occupy our Parish Center for their K–8 school of about 35 Children Monday through Friday.

Divine Mercy Academy will use our Parish during the day and will not have an effect on our current Preschool program in the school. Both schools will remain two different entities.

As always, we are happy to help out a sister Catholic organization as best we can, when it is needed. If you have any questions please call the Parish Office.

May God continue to bless you and your families and keep you safe.

Fr. Carl
