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

Since the very beginning of the Catholic Church a mystery of Divine Mercy has been contemplated by Christian believers.

The Christians believe that the Church was symbolically born at the moment when Jesus' side was pierced on the cross. Water and blood came out of his heart as a sign of our purification through the baptism and salvation through the precious sacrifice of life.
