Our Lady of Hope Parish is a Catholic Community that was established in 1967 in southeast Baltimore County. We were called to form one community after nineteen years' presence as the independent parishes of St. Mildred and St. Adrian. We seek to live the Gospel values of Jesus Christ as individuals and as a community through involvement in worship, in learning and in outreach to the total community. We hold dearly ministries of evangelization and education along with supportive ministries to our children, youth, and adults, acknowledging the diversity in family lifestyles yet proclaiming family values. Recognizing the traditions of the past and the opportunities for the future, we as a community of faith, hope and love, encourage all to share in our mission.4th Sunday of Advent (December 21 / December 22)Reading 1

The Feast of the Ascension of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ is celebrated each year on the fortieth day after the Great and Holy Feast of Pascha (Easter). Since the date of Pascha changes each year, the date of the Feast of the Ascension also changes. The Feast is always celebrated on a Thursday, however many Parishes move the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord Jesus to their Sunday liturgy to gather more of the community into the celebration.The Feast itself commemorates Christ making His last appearance to his disciples on earth, forty days after His Resurrection from the dead. Jesus appeared before the disciples, and after blessing them and encouragingthem not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit, His body ascended into heaven to His kingly throne at the right Hand of God the Father. With the Feast of the Ascension, Jesus sends his disciples out into the world to proclaim the Good News, and each of us is included in this mission.
