Holy Redeemer

Catholic Church

Beginning Thursday, October 14th, Holy Redeemer is going to begin a weekly Catholic Bible Study on Thursdays from 9:45am- 11am in the Community Room of the Church.  We will begin with First and Second Samuel which was used as a Catechism to pass on the faith and to inspire the People of God to seek the Lord with trust in very difficult times. We will read and discuss the Scriptures in class.  Please bring your Bible and a friend!  For more information, please call Catherine Tolnay at 301-754-0024.

"Exodus 90" is a 90 day spiritual exercise for men.  The program is based on 3 pillars: prayer, asceticism, and fraternity which are all important aspects of the Christian life. Men who join the program will commit and strive to take on the following spiritual exercises:  Make a daily holy hour; Read each day's scripture and reflection; Take short, cold showers; Practice regular intense exercise; Get a full night's sleep (7 or more hours); Abstain from alcohol; Abstain from desserts and sweets; Abstain from eating between meals; Abstain from soda or sweet drinks (white milk, black coffee, and black tea are permissible); Abstain from television, movies, or televised sports; Abstain from video games; Abstain from non-essential material purchases; Only listen to music that lifts the soul to God; Only use the computer for work, school, or essential tasks; Only use mobile devices for essential communication (cut out non-essential texting and internet use); Take Wednesdays and Fridays as days of fasting; Attend weekly fraternity meetings (one hour in length); Check in with an Anchor (friend doing the program) daily.

The Holy Redeemer Men's Ministry brings together like minded men, who are seeking to be a better person, husband, and father while living their Catholic faith fully. The group meets on Saturday mornings from 7:00 am to 8 am in the school auditorium. The camaraderie this program has fostered among the men of Holy Redeemer has strengthened their faith and provided practical support as they live out their vocations as Catholic men. There is no cost for joining and guests are always welcomed. For more information, email Christopher Doerr or call him at 240-338-4381 (cell).
