Watch Party: The Chosen
📅 Tuesdays | 🕖 7:00–8:30 PM
📍 Our Lady of Good Counsel Hall
Join us for a relaxed and meaningful summer evening as we watch The Chosen, a powerful series that brings the life of Jesus and His disciples to the screen in a fresh, moving way.
Whether you're watching for the first time or revisiting the story, come experience it in community, followed by casual conversation and reflection. All are welcome—bring a friend!
Stars and Cigars
Stars and Cigars: New to CCSB is a gathering for husbands, fathers, and father figures to come together in faith to reflect on the struggles and joys of family life. The idea is to gather at 8:30 PM every third Tuesday of the month at a local parishioner home. The setting would be relaxed and welcoming, with optional cigar smoking—no pressure there.
While cigars are part of the theme, the focus is truly on conversation, connection, and reflection—not alcohol or partying. It’s about relaxing with purpose, and hopefully at a time that allows husbands and dads to still have plenty of family time beforehand. You can drop in for a few minutes or stay for a bit, come each month, or as your schedule allows.

Liturgical Ministry Training
Announcing our next Liturgical Ministry Training: Sunday, July 26, after the 5:00 p.m. Mass!
We are so grateful to the more than 15 people who attended last month's training (WOW!). We offer training once a month, typically on the fourth Sunday, with rotating time slots.
No dinner will be provided for this training, but if an informal gathering to grab a bite at the market or somewhere nearby happens afterward, we love that idea!
You are welcome to attend if you have never served, if you already serve but would like to volunteer in a different ministry, or if you'd simply like a refresher.
Upcoming training dates:
Sunday, July 26, after the 5:00 p.m. Mass
Saturday, August 22, after the 4:00 p.m. Mass (Film Club follows immediately after the training, featuring a free dinner and a screening of Big Trouble in Little China.)

Supporting our neighbors in need across Baltimore
Thursdays at 5:00 PM – Our Lady of Good Counsel Hall
SALT (Mt. 5:13) is a Baltimore-based ministry that brings hope and nourishment to individuals experiencing hardship throughout the city. As a parish community, we support this mission by donating, preparing, cooking, and delivering casseroles, bread pudding, desserts, and more to those served by SALT, UHP, and the Missionaries of Charity.
We gather every Thursday at 5:00 PM in Our Lady of Good Counsel Hall to cook, connect, and serve together.
Can’t cook? No problem! You can still help by donating ingredients or prepared food—every contribution makes a difference.
Join fellow parishioners and friends from CCSB in this act of love and compassion. Whether you cook, donate, or deliver, your generosity brings comfort and dignity to those in need.
